Young Living™ Essential Oils

 Young Living™ is an international company that is known for producing the best essential oils available on the market today. Their unique Seed To Seal® production process allows them to preserve each herb's potency and integrity, thus ensuring the highest possible quality in their essential oils.

The Power Of Essential Oils

Stop by and check out our new
display of our Young Living™ products!
Due to their in-depth Seed To Seal® production process, Young Living™ essential oils are incredibly potent. In fact, a plant's essential oil is far more powerful than its original botanical form. (For this reason, experts recommend only using a few drops of an essential oil at any one time.) Since a single bottle will last you for quite some time, it is a great investment in your family's health and wellness.

Essential oils can be used in a variety of different ways and for a variety of different reasons. Common uses include topical application, aromatic diffusion, and (in some cases) dietary consumption. When used correctly, essential oils offer many different advantages, including physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits. Thanks to their powerful intrinsic qualities, they can also be used as natural alternatives to the harsh chemicals found in many of today's cleaning and beauty products.

 Get Your Essential Oils At The Lime In The Coconut!

Compounding to Relieve Allergy Symptoms

Most Midwesterners welcome the cooler fall weather but some allergy sufferers are less enthusiastic. In Missouri, cool nights can mean ragweed pollen is in the air. Ragweed, the biggest fall allergy trigger, generally begins to release pollen in August and continues into September and October and it’s possible this is the cause of those dreaded allergy symptoms. The ragweed pollen season occurs at a time when children, and school employees and administrators are going back to school. This is a common time for upper respiratory infections (colds) to make their debut and it can be difficult to determine whether symptoms are indications of allergies or a cold. Typically, cold symptoms lessen after 7 to 10 days, so if your runny nose, itchy, watery eyes, headaches and fatigue continue, you may be suffering from fall allergies.

At Lime in the Coconut Compounding Pharmacy we know that allergy sufferers need individual treatment options. We prepare personalized medications based on your specific needs. We can assist your physician by mixing the recommended prescriptions together to create a specialized treatment. Here’s more about allergy symptoms and how your Lake of the Ozarks Compounding pharmacy can help alleviate those symptoms.

Allergy symptoms may include: runny nose, itchy nose, nosebleeds, itchy throat and ears, sneezing, nasal congestion, burning, tearing, itchy eyes, cough, headaches, sinus infections, ear infections or ear pressure, asthma, and fatigue, poor sleep or snoring. Not everyone has all symptoms, that’s why our individual treatment options will address and respond to the specific immune reactions your body is having to the allergy.

At Lime in The Coconut, we have the capability to compound custom medications to treat many of the conditions associated with allergies. Our team specializes in formulating topical creams and gels, eye drops, nasal and throat sprays and easy to swallow capsules. We carefully prepare sinus and allergy medications in the form of liquids, washes and nasal sprays and can compound one pill with several different active ingredients if your general practitioner requests such treatment. 

Also, consider CranioSacral therapy as a means to reduce sinus symptoms and headache associated with seasonal allergies. This massage therapy focuses on releasing tensions your body could be experiencing as a result of pollen in the air, and provides effective relief and reduction for some allergy symptoms.

Are you tired of sniffling, sneezing and blowing that nose of yours? We can compound custom sinus medications to treat your allergic reactions as needed. Not only can the benefits of compounding improve your allergy symptoms, but will also enhance your overall health.  Let Lime and the Coconut  Compounding Pharmacy help you find relief so you can stop carrying around that box of Kleenex and get back to feeling your very best. We want you out enjoying this beautiful fall weather as healthy as possible!

Compounding Can Provide Pain Relief

September is Pain Awareness Month, and we're guessing you're just as aware of your pain this month as you were last month. Living with chronic pain can be a struggle that you would probably rather do without. This is exactly why the Lime in the Coconut Compounding Pharmacy continues to do what we do.


There are more than 100-million adults in the United States suffer from chronic pain, which is more than cancer, heart disease, and diabetes - combined. There are many different types of chronic pain that can be experienced, and we're going to show several ways that the Lime in the Coconut can help.

 Types of Pain We Can Treat
As the only compounding pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks, we have many options to help you treat your pain. Our methods are just as unique as you are because we create your medications for you and your specific need. Here are just a few of the different types of pain we can treat:
  • Migraines
  • Arthritis
  • Nerve Pain
  • Muscle Pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Sports Injuries

Pain Management Formulas
Because we realize that every single person is different, we pull from a variety of different pain management formulas. We use a variety of pain formulas because want to find a solution for your individual needs. Here are a few formulas that we can utilize:
  • Nerve Blocking Agents
  • Muscle Relaxants
  • Analgesics
  • NSAIDs
  • Combination Drugs

 Custom Delivery Methods & Dosages
The advantage of compounding creams is that we can customize and provide an alternate method of delivery. We can combine the ingredients of traditional oral pain medications in a topical gel, cream, or spray form that you can then apply directly to the site of the pain. For migraine sufferers, pain medication may be administered through nasal sprays or flavored troches or lozenges. These dosage forms bypass the gastrointestinal tract, and may provide optimal results without the side effects.

Because our patients vary in size, symptoms, and pain tolerance, commercially available medications often do not provide an appropriate dosage strength. Through compounding, we can customize a medication to the exact amount needed.

 Pain Dosage Forms
Different pain can require a different form of medication. In addition to the ingredients, the way the dosage is delivered has a big impact on the effectiveness of your pain medication. At our compounding pharmacy, we can put common pain management formulas into a variety of different dosage forms, including:
  • Transdermal Creams
  • Topical Creams, Ointments, & Gels
  • Troches (lozenges)
  • Mouth Rinses
  • Extended Release Capsules
  • Transdermal Gels
  • Suppositories
  • Nasal Sprays
Treating Pain In a Unique Way
You are unique. Shouldn't your medicine be too? At the Lime in the Coconut Compounding Pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks, we work with you and your healthcare professional to create a medication that can treat your pain. With September being all about Pain Awareness Month, make this month the time you address your pain. Let the Lime in the Coconut assist you with this!

8 Best-Kept Secrets For Healthy Aging

Aging gracefully - it's something we all want to do, but also something that very few of us feel that we know how to do. We hold on desperately to our youthful appearance, possibly a little frightened of what the future holds for us if we somehow fail to maintain the youthful looks and mind we have been blessed with for the first half of our lives.

Though aging may be a somewhat daunting prospect, it is a natural process that all people (providing they live long enough) will go through. At The Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy, our job is to help people age gracefully and healthily. In honor of Healthy Aging Month, we're sharing some of our favorite tips and tricks in this week's blog post.

 1. Stay Active
Maintaining an active lifestyle is one of the most important things you can do to not only age well but also to promote longevity. Our bodies operate under a "use it or lose it" modality; if we don't make it a point to stay active as we age, we may lose the ability to do so altogether. Walking, biking, swimming, hiking, yoga, and kayaking are all great examples of fun ways to stay active.

 2. Quit Smoking
Smoking is infamous for being terrible for your health, and for good reason. Smoking is closely linked to lung cancer and frequently contributes to asthma, emphysema, and other respiratory diseases. Because of nicotine's highly addictive qualities, it can take several attempts to fully break the smoking habit. However, it's an essential step towards achieving a long, healthy life.

 3. Eat Healthy Foods
Contrary to popular belief, a healthy diet can actually be delicious. It may mean substituting some of your old staples for more fruits, veggies, and whole grains, but you will likely feel so much better that the trade-off should easily be worth it. You can pick the exact diet that works best for you, but as a general rule, you should try to avoid consuming too much red meat and foods that are extremely salty, sweet, and/or processed.
4. Stay Connected
Feeling connected to your friends, family, and/or community is an integral part of aging gracefully. Older adults who lead rather solitary lifestyles are much more likely to develop dementia or Alzheimer's, or pass away earlier. If you live alone, it's important to break up the solitude by volunteering or scheduling frequent visits with friends and family.

 5. Quit Drinking
Enjoying alcoholic beverages is a favorite pastime for many people, especially here at the Lake. While the occasional drink here and there may not have too dire of an effect, consuming too much alcohol can lead to serious health problems such as chronic liver inflammation and jaundice. Your liver is responsible for breaking down harmful and/or unnatural substances in the body, but if it becomes overworked from too much alcohol consumption, it may no longer be able to do its job.

 6. Get Plenty Of Sleep
Somewhere along the line, "successful" Americans began to pride themselves on their incessantly busy lifestyles. Sleep became viewed as a luxury, rather than a necessity. However, the truth remains that sleep is vital to our health. Adults typically require seven to nine hours of sleep per night to maintain optimum health, but most of us get much less than that. Inadequate sleep can inhibit our immune system and make us more susceptible to mental challenges such as irritability and depression.

 7. Avoid Stress
Stress is one of the most abundant and chronic health challenges our society faces today. Stress causes numerous physical and psychological problems, ranging anywhere from headaches to depression, and studies suggest that symptoms like these affect well over half of all Americans. Chronic stress keeps our body in a constant "fight or flight" response state, which weakens our adrenal system and makes us more susceptible to illnesses.

 8. Take Control Of Your Health
Don't wait for a healthy lifestyle to magically manifest - take active steps to work towards achieving optimum health as you age. Our compounding pharmacy in Lake Ozark MO will be here to help you in any way we can. In addition to our compounded medication in mid-Missouri, we offer a variety of over-the-counter vitamins and supplements to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
