Nimbin Apothecary

Nimbin Apothecary Nimbin Apothecary has been providing herbs and health support to Nimbin for over 30 years! We love what we do. We would love to meet you!

We are a team of dedicated and passionate, fully qualified herbalists and naturopaths that are here to be of service. Whilst we certainly operate as a herbal and naturopathic dispensary, our humble little shop also, and most importantly, functions as a space of community connection and wellness. Nimbin Apothecary advocates for a grassroots approach to health which permeates everything we do. From our extensive range of exclusive herbal products that are hand made by our staff, to the ethical sourcing of plants and products, to supporting local makers, we strive to keep our apothecary full of heart and soul in a world that is rapidly changing. Our fully stocked herbal dispensary means that our team of herbalists and naturopaths are able to provide over-the-counter herbal prescriptions and health advice. Nimbin Apothecary has a strong focus on health education and the tradition of folk medicine which reminds people that we each have the knowledge to care for ourselves, each other and our community. Our staff not only prescribe medicines, but impart wisdom and tools for sustainable and autonomous health and happiness. Our apothecary is open Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm, or on Saturdays and Sundays 10am - 3pm. If you can’t make it to Nimbin, please feel free to contact us via phone, our website, or social media.

Two Fresh Plant tinctures available in the Nimbin Apothecary while stocks last.

Chamomile Fresh Plant Tincture is a gentle nervous system relaxant, traditionally used to calm restlessness, soothe digestion, and support deeper sleep. A beautiful ally for both adults and children when the day has been a little too much.

Tulsi Fresh Plant Tincture (Holy Basil) is known as a powerful adaptogen, helping the body respond to stress while supporting mood, focus and resilience. Uplifting yet grounding, tulsi is a herb many people reach for during busy or demanding times.

Fresh plant tinctures capture the living chemistry of the plant at its peak and these are sooooo good you have to try it! Herbal medicine that actually tastes amazing!

Introducing Anise Hyssop! New to the shelf from our farm, this herb was originally planted for its flowers, to attract beneficial insects to care for our garden! However it’s done so well we decided to sell it as a tea!

A beautiful herb with a naturally sweet liquorice-mint flavour, anise hyssop makes a soothing and uplifting tea. Traditionally used to support digestion, respiratory health, and the immune system, it may help ease bloating, calm coughs, and gently warm the body. Its aromatic oils also give it mild calming and mood-lifting qualities, making it a lovely herb for both body and mind.

When people ask me “how do you manage it all?”

Me: hahahahahha it’s easy!!

I got to experience flying a few weeks ago and it was terrifying and majorly fun .. exactly like juggling a small business, a farm, being a mum and everything that goes along with all of that! And I would t change it for the world!

Gotta say this has got to be one of my most glamorous moments. Swipe for a good laugh!

Flying high into March!!

Presenting our New LOGO!!

Dandelion, the humble w**d that never gives up.
It grows through cracked pavements and rich soil alike.
A flower of wishes and quiet hope for generations.
Its deep roots heal the ground beneath it, nourishing the soil so others plants can thrive, strengthening the whole ecosystem.

Nimbin Apothecary like the dandelion is deeply rooted in our community since 1990 and we are not going anywhere!

Fiona’s last week at the Nimbin Apothecary 😢

Fiona has been working at the Nimbin Apothecary for over 13 years. Fiona has brought so much to the business as a qualified naturopath, an exceptional herbalist, and one of the most caring and nurturing people I know. But mostly a wonderful friend.

Many in our community have received Fiona’s wonderful love and care over our counter and I know she will be missed terribly.

Fiona’s last day with us will be this Wednesday the 17th September. Come in to wish her well in her next adventure.

I am eternally grateful for you Fiona, Love you loads ###
