The world has always looked to alternative medicine when traditional medicines have failed. And in the modern era, there are distinct bands of consumers who prefer going with more natural and less lab-based medicinal solutions to help with their ailments – whether minor or chronic. Here, you’ll learn some of the key products that your store can onboard in order to better compete in the alternative medicinal space, with some of the hottest products flying off shelves around the world imported into your store to please your customers and change lives.
Tiger Balm
Sold sporadically across the world’s drug stores, there can be nothing quite like the application of a little tiger balm – sold in small hexagonal jars – to a painful area in order to relieve pain, swelling, and other discomforts. For the price – and the simplicity of the product – it’s a wonders-worker in the alternative medicinal space, helping millions of people across the US, Europe, and Asia deal with muscular problems and more.
Expounding the merits of tiger balm isn’t difficult – you can display your stand of the product with details about its use, and open one jar for customers to experience the heat and tingle from the product before they buy. With interest rising as to the applications of medicines from the East, it’s a great time to invest in the likes of tiger balm for your alternative medicine store.
CBD Products
It’s fair to say that the products that make use of the CBD compound are experiencing a zenith in 2019, and it is looking set to expand and continue as we head towards 2020. Here, your customers may be slightly distrustful of a drug that was, until recently, banned across the US and the UK – but that’s not to say that it was banned for a reasonable purpose. As science is continually showing us, the use cases for CBD oil are plentiful – one of the most exciting alternative medicines in the world.
As a store, you have a number of options when it comes to onboarding CBD products to your store. One of the simplest is to look to suppliers of CBD hemp seeds, which you can buy in bulk and process yourself, or with the help of a third party, in order to sell your own oils and supplements. You may also look to break into the marijuana industry if it’s legal in your state.
Essential Oils
The final tip for alternative medicine stores is to consider buying a range of essential oils for customers to enjoy in the bath, on their bed linen or floating serenely around their home. Oils ranging from those which energize to those which relax are seen as highly valuable for the mental health of an individual – though research here is scanty and inconclusive.
Nevertheless, the perfumed odors that emanate from essential oil bottles do produce a calming quality and can be the perfect gift for a loved one as Christmas approaches past. As such, essential oils are your final tip to help you boost your store’s sales for the future.
Alternative medicine is increasingly sought-after in the modern world – and these three products are perfect to help you boost sales in your store over the coming year.
