SPECIALTY MEDICINE

Alternative medicine is different.

Alternative medicine products, including oils, capsules, sprays, and dried flowers, are therapeutic goods regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). Access is managed through your healthcare practitioner, and Essence Dispensary is your specialist pharmacy that gives unique support throughout the process.

Behind every prescription is a real person with real questions. Our team of specialist pharmacists takes the time to understand your needs, explain your options, and support you at every step, because good medicine is about more than just filling a script.

PHARMACISTS, ON THE PATH WITH YOU

At Essence Dispensary, our pharmacists consider a holistic approach to your wellbeing. We recognise how physical, mental, and emotional health all factor in your journey to wellness.

We’re here to support you on your path to move forward. Our pharmacists spend the time with you to follow your prescriptions guidelines, and tailor our guidance around any side effects or concerns for an effective approach to alternative medicine. Beyond filling your script, we explore ways to help improve your overall wellbeing.

Keep in mind that every body is unique and as a result the experience may vary. Alternative medicine may not be for you, but we will help you to discover whether this is a path that moves you forward, out of pain and suffering.

WORKING WITH HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

Our pharmacist team partners with healthcare professionals to support Essence Dispensary customers. We bridge the gap between a healthcare practitioner and general pharmacies as a specialist alternative medicine dispensary.

We see patient care as a shared journey between healthcare professional, pharmacist, and patient. We know when to give people on alternative medicine treatment plans a nudge to book a consult with their healthcare professional.

Essence Dispensary’s network of healthcare professionals is built on rallying around shared goals to help and support people. As specialist pharmacists, we share our specialised alternative medicine knowledge when filling a script.
