Meet the Christchurch pharmacist who started it all...


History of Stay Well Pharmacy - New Zealand's holistic pharmacy

 

Stay Well Pharmacy was founded by Primary Healthcare pharmacist and local karate instructor Mark Webster. Mark is a passionate educator in the benefit of nutritional supplements and the body's need for vitamins and minerals to support optimal health.

In 1990, Mark was completing his pharmacy internship at the former Tavener's Pharmacy in Hornby's Witham St. He travelled and worked overseas for a time, expanding and refining his knowledge along the way. Originally believing that eating well was enough for good health, Mark returned to New Zealand knowing the picture was much bigger than that! 

Mark purchased Tavener's Pharmacy in 2001; then, in 2006, moved the pharmacy to its current site at 27 Shands Road, rebranding as Stay Well Pharmacy. Over the years, Mark has stayed at the forefront of developments in the fields of nutritional, environmental and anti-ageing medicine through his associations with the American and Australasian Associations of Anti-Ageing Medicine and the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. This ensures that Stay Well Pharmacy offers you only the best in holistic health advice and services.

Naturopathic advice right here at your local pharmacy in Hornby

Many people seeking conventional medical help for frustrating health conditions are left shaking their heads, thinking 'There has got to be another way!' - and there is. As part of our commitment to helping you achieve optimal health, Stay Well Pharmacy are proud to offer naturopathic advice to help you with your health concerns.

WHY VISIT A NATUROPATHIC PHARMACIST?

Conventional medicine often seeks to relieve only the symptoms of disease, without looking too deeply into the root cause. This can mean surgical intervention or long term use of pharmaceutical medicines, which have their own pitfalls of side effects and complications. Naturopathy and Functional medicine are complementary approaches to conventional medical treatment, and seeks to uncover and remedy the root causes of dysfunction in the body - reducing or eliminating reliance on prescription drugs and improving your vitality and quality of life.

Many chronic and seemingly incurable complaints can benefit from this kind of advice, including (but not limited to) fatigue, pain, anxiety, sleep disturbances and many digestive complaints.

 

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE?

Integrative medicine brings together a diverse range of therapies in order to treat the 'whole person' rather than the troublesome symptom. Practitioners work in partnership with you to find the internal imbalances that manifest themselves in poor health, and prescribe safe, gentle, natural solutions to correct them and prevent future difficulties.

Treatment may include any combination of the following: diet and lifestyle advice, herbal medicines, nutritional supplementation, and referral to other alternative therapies. Stay Well Pharmacy offers you a truly holistic ('whole person') approach to health, with tailored advice that integrates safely with your pharmaceutical regime.
