Natural Path to Wellness at Raine and River
Support your health naturally at Raine and River, a new apothecary on Grove St., close to City Hall. Owner Natasha is a spiritual herbalist who creates plant-based medicines, potions, tinctures, extracts, teas and tonic to both promote overall health and healing as well as target specific maladies or conditions. From an early age, Natasha was taught the wonders of natural remedies by her grandfather in their native Trinidad. Years later after migrating to Brooklyn and working as a fitness instructor, she had a chance meeting with a client at her local gym who owned a health food store and wellness story. Natasha began working with at the center and during this time refined her knowledge of some of the finer points of herbal medicine. A decade later, and Natasha has opened her own lovely shop here in JC.
There is a super soothing vibe as soon as you enter Raine and River. In addition to a wall to ceiling display of every herb, spice and tea you can think of – and then some – there are selections of crystals, tarot cards and books on spirituality and wellness. There are specific products for women to promote breast health, fertility and womb wellness, and specialized products for men for prostate health and to encourage the libido. We liked the unisex all-natural deodorant too.
Congratulations to Natasha on her new business. Be sure to check out her shop. If the molten hot weather is keeping you indoors these days, do not worry as you can shop online at www.raineandriver.com. Here is to good health!
