Tucked away in a leafy suburb ten minutes from Sydney's Central Business District is the Modern Apothecary, a leader in bringing the ancient art of homeopathic medicine to modern urbanites. This chic little pharmacy, offering natural health-care and beauty products, was founded by Dr. Giselle Cooke, a local celebrity known for championing healthy living through her books and TV appearances. Her team of female naturopaths consults with customers and then prepares custom-blended teas, herbal solutions and flower essences to promote general well-being or to treat a specific problem. Suffering from jet lag? You may be prescribed a sleep-inducing potion of Siberian ginseng. The staff also dispenses advice on nutrition and lifestyle. Visitors can browse among the shop's collection of books as well as its organic teas and herbs, vitamins and skin-care lines. 4B/27-35 Grosvenor St., Neutral Bay; 011-61-2-9904-0084; themodernapothecary.com.
