Wormwood Apothecary, new company, new product line...
Posted: Wed Sep 03, 2008 12:55 pm
We are just new this month as an official product line, so not too much in the way of pictures yet, but I would love to hear if there is any interest. As soon as I get samples in (should be this week or first part of next) I will post for volunteers to try some free samples out and give their opinions.
We make organic, all natural, and lifestyle oriented products for the SCA, Living History, Re-enactment and medieval combat athlete.
After several positive responses from various users, I decided to see if there was any interest here on the Archive. There isn't really anything specific for those of us in SCA, LH, re-enactment or even LARP that isn't totally mundane. Our products come in discreet, small bottles with period packaging and labeling, and will eventually be offered in period looking containers as well.
This is just to gauge interest at this point and see if there is any interest in more period appropriate apothecary type products.
Thanks for any feedback. If you want to place an order PM me and I can always give you some details. We plan to donate a portion of each sale to not only supporting the Archive, but also to your local group, so the product line is unique in that we plan on giving back to the sport and the lifestyle a bit...

Apply a small amount directly to sore muscles or problem areas on legs, arms, neck, shoulders, etc. and the soothing aromatics will aid in relief from cramps, stiffness and soreness. It's organic formula is made without heavy petroleum content and thus feels light and refreshing, even under a thick gambeson, lame' jacket, or even a mail hauberk!
Organic peppermint Outremer lip protection: $5.00
Even under the easiest of endeavors the mouth can become parched and the lips dry and cracked after prolonged fighting and dry as the deserts of Outremer. The Wormwood lip protection soothes and cools chapped and dry lips with a refreshing all natural organic peppermint scent. Natural aromatherapy ingredients create a stimulating and energizing lift in between bouts and battles.
Organic Misty Mountains Elixir Spray: $8.00
Even if the battle must continue, or the round is not yet complete, the Misty Mountains Elixir Spray gives a fresh, instant revitalizing lift beneath a heavy helm. Available in a small compact and discreet mundane package, the Wormwood organic spritzer can be applied by a few small sprays to the face and neck for an instant fresh feeling, cleaning and scenting with an energizing boost of fresh scents and aromatherapy. the Misty Mountains Elixir opens up the lungs, cleans the sweat and grime from beneath a coif and gives a new sense of energy to the combatant.
Organic Crusade combat lotion: $10.00
For long hours in the saddle, in one's harness or even on the piste', the Crusade combat lotion will protect the body from chafing, soreness and friction that builds under armor, gambesons, helmets, chausses and chainmail. The thick lotion-paste can be applied in small amounts to friction areas and underneath straps to provide a more comforting layer when moving and twisting to avoid an opponents blade and in the heat of battle. The combat lotion goes on light, easily, and without any greasy residue, aroma or coloring,
