Josie's Apothecary

The Sacredness of Water

Water has always been a source of relaxation and restoration. If you’ve plunged yourself into a body of water, you know the effects that it has on your body and your brain, in fact; bathing for just 10 minutes a day in warm water can improve symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, depression, and provide a general sense of well-being. This is where I introduce you to Josie ‘s apothecary. Named for my mother Josephine, affectionately referred to as Josie. Her most sacred time was always her bathtime. It was where she could escape away from the long days as a caregiver to release stress. She would enter the bathroom feeling exhausted, and in 30 to 45 minutes, she would emerge glowing!  In August 2022, my mother was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. There were a lot of things that were important to my mom during this time however being able to take a bath! that was almost as important as the medication she took. In February 2024 during the last two weeks of her life she'd request to bathe at least twice daily. She would sit in the shower and just allow the water to run over her. It eased her pain and allowed her time to recharge and reset for the constant flow of visitors. So that is where Josie ‘s apothecary was born. Our focus is on hydrotherapy and its effects.  We offer (5) custom curated herbal baths to relax, release and reset. Thank you for taking the time to read our why… and welcome to Josie’s apothecary
