The Melbourne Apothecary

August marks one year since we opened inside MECCA.

We thought about kicking off celebrations with Carly’s delicious gluten free orange 🍊 and almond cake…but it wasn’t a vast enough vision…

So then we thought…”Presents for everyone!!!” 🎁

Throughout August, every appointment you book with us comes with a complimentary 15-minute Express Naturopathic Appointment, valued at $45.

Whether you’re visiting for ear seeds, acupuncture, cosmetic acu-facials, naturopathy, breath coaching or life coaching, your gift will be waiting for you.

Thank you for coming on the journey with us and making our first year at MECCA a wonderful filled festival of feel good health happiness that we’ll always remember.

We are delighted to be celebrating with you 🎉💎📍✨💗

These are just some of the things that have come up in clinic recently but we see it all! One thing we’ve noticed? A lot of our clients are feeling depleted. You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to check in with your health.

Our consultations are designed to look at the bigger picture, taking the time to understand your goals, individual health history, presenting symptoms, lifestyle, diet and how it’s all connected, so we can create a personalised treatment plan.

If you’ve been meaning to prioritise your health, consider this your reminder.

🔗 Booking via the link in the bio. Virtual and in-person consults available.

We are porous.

We are constantly absorbing our environment; what we read, what we hear, who we spend time with, what we repeatedly expose ourselves to, and those repeated inputs shape our perception, our expectations and the stories we tell ourselves, often without us even noticing.

So why not be intentional about one small thing you choose to carry with you?

This is a little glimpse into an ear seed appointment at The Melbourne Apothecary, where before heading back into the world people often spend a moment choosing a quote card that resonates with them. There are hundreds to discover, and it’s always fascinating watching someone instinctively gravitate towards the one they were meant to find. Many people collect them over time, creating their own little gallery of ideas, reminders and perspectives that they return to whenever life calls for them.

It’s one of those simple rituals that has become part of what we do, and one that we love sharing✨Shout out to the gorgeous TAMMY GUEST (pictured) who inspires and shapes people with the work she does too

No two ear seed treatments are ever the same because no two people are ever the same.

Our degree-qualified Chinese medicine practitioners choose every point based on your symptoms, your health goals and how you’re presenting on the day.

We’ve now delivered thousands of ear seed treatments at The Melbourne Apothecary, and every single one has been personalised.

What’s the first thing you’d ask before (or during!) your first ear seed appointment?

✨ Your health is precious. It’s worth investing in.

Feeling irritable or frustrated?

Are your moods fluctuating more than usual?

Have you noticed stress-related changes in your digestion?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Liver is associated with the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body. When this flow is disrupted, some people may experience feelings of tension, frustration, emotional ups and downs, or digestive changes.

Liver 14 (Qimen) is an acupuncture point traditionally used within TCM to support the smooth flow of Qi and may be incorporated into an individualised treatment plan focused on overall wellbeing.

At The Melbourne Apothecary, our acupuncture and Chinese Medicine treatments are tailored to your unique presentation, health history, and goals.

If you’re curious about how acupuncture may fit into your wellness routine, we’d love to welcome you into the space.
