Exciting Announcement! 🥳

Get ready Praccies and Students, because something incredible is on the horizon! 🎉

We dispensed our last orders on Friday, 30th June 2023, and celebrated the occasion with current and past team members who all gloriously contributed to our success. We have left on a high and the cycle of coming into existence to non-existence in its current form has been completed. We have become formless! But, we have loved every minute of it.

However, there are conversations about Safflower being re-born elsewhere. But, it's too early to tell. We will keep you posted!

May the new year month, and new financial year bring new opportunities to your front doors. Best wishes and kind regards, Brigitte & the Safflower team.


27/06/2023

Last orders must be received before 1.30pm on Friday 30th of June.

Given Safflower is Australia's only herbal dispensary producing customised liquid extracts and topical creams, I'd recommend getting in well before then.

By 2pm at the latest we stop all production and take completed orders to the post office.

By 3pm we toast to the 15 wonderful years Safflower has graced the industry with it's products (even if we do say so ourselves 😊🏵️ )

Gratitude is the most amazing emotion.

There's a lot of change and sadness at Safflower this week. But that's life. There is so much grief in the world this week and every other week. It is part of the unchanging human dilemma to lose the people or things that we love, to let go of the things we've called our own.

It is a natural human desire to attach to others and possessions and things we've pioneered. But we truly own nothing and take nothing with us when we go. The same goes for Safflower Dispensary. Hans and Brigitte built it from the ground up, watered, fed and nutured it year upon year, and so it's hard to let go. But by experiencing gratitude for what we've had and where we are today because of Safflower, we are left with the beauty of the experiences, the people and the pleasure of contributing.

So don't forget graditude 🙏

By experiencing gratitude for what you have you get back into the present moment and are left with the richenss of being alive. It is much better to appreciate what you've been given while you are still here than to lament what you lack when it's all too late.

This week, our gratitude goes out to you - our praccies, our tribe, everyone who contributed to our small business and it's big ventures.

Only 10 days left until Safflower closes it's doors for good 😭

No doubt praccies are starting to investigate other suppliers, which is an unfortunate distraction from treating patients.

If you need stock to see your patients through the next few weeks while you shop around or commence new accounts, feel free to order liquid extracts, granules or topical creams in standardised formulas.

We'd recommend that you definitely do this for topical creams, as no one else in Oz does this. It would be pretty handy to have a supply of creams for skin conditions on your dispensary shelf 😉

Before our closure, Safflower is selling primary and secondary packaging stock to interested parties.

The stock list is available by emailing us directly info@safflower.com.au

If you're not sure what we mean by packaging, think bottles, pots, canisters, caska seals, lids, droppers, pouches, mailing boxes, bubble mailers, tape, shipping labels etc.

Get in quick though!

Let’s chat about the beginning before we talk about the end.

THE VISION
Fifteen years ago, Brigitte and Hans started Safflower Dispensary. Migrating from Switzerland to Phillip Island, they brought with them a passion for herbal products and dispensing standards so that patients and practitioners across Australia and New Zealand could benefit from their expertise and commitment to providing high-quality herbal medicine.

THE MISSION
Since 2008, Safflower has accumulated experience beyond sourcing and selling herbal products, Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM) research, herbal cultivation, and most recently, practical online courses for Chinese medicine practitioners. The aim always has been to create a business environment that is both inspirational and supportive of practitioners and the industry.

THE LONGVIEW
Retirement is beckoning. It’s time for Brigitte and Hans to say goodbye as a TGA-approved herbal compounder but instead focus on smaller-scale industry contributions - clinical practice, a variety of consulting services for practitioners and stakeholders, herbal medicine research, and more.

THE NEAR FUTURE
Please check your email for sales and closing procedures. Some stock items might be running low and eventually run out, but herbs can be substituted using the similar product feature on our ordering system.

THE NEED-TO-KNOW INFO
At 3 pm on Friday 30th June 2023, Safflower will close its doors. We will dispense until 1.30 pm and ship out all orders by 2.30 pm. Phone lines will remain open until 3 pm if you need to be in touch about stock or supplies or simply say goodbye! The ordering feature within the practitioner accounts will be disabled at that time too.

In the meantime, please reach out if you have any concerns about sourcing products from other suppliers. Until our doors close at the end of the financial year, Safflower remains deeply committed to our core services and products. Simply stay in touch and we'll happily keep you in the loop!
