Your guide to a well-stocked wellness stash

How to build a better medicine cabinet.

Explore everyday wellness essentials that meet a higher standard →

While some might say that the heart of the home is the kitchen, we propose another spot: the humble but oh-so-crucial medicine cabinet. Whether you’re facing a scraped knee, a late-night cough, or a bout of seasonal allergies, having vetted remedies on hand makes all the difference for your family. And when it’s time for a restock, Grove has expert-approved options for every type of ailment, with cleaner, body-safe ingredients that don’t skimp on efficacy. So you get the very best of nature and science, combined.

Essentials for everyday

Stock up on remedies for the unexpected

Build your base of go-to solutions for every symptom and minor ailment in the book:

-For cold and flu care, choose multi-symptom formulas made without artificial dyes, high-fructose corn syrup, or parabens. For less severe cases, be sure to grab some plant-powered options with elderberry, zinc, and vitamin C to support immune function.[1]

-For cough and sore throat, we love herbal cough syrups and throat sprays made with honey, marshmallow root, or echinacea — all powerful, natural ingredients capable of gentle relief without unnecessary additives.[2]

-For nasal and sinus support, especially during allergy season, grab some new saline sprays and non-medicated rinses to help relieve congestion without harsh decongestants. They’re great for all ages!

-For pain and fever relief, keep acetaminophen or ibuprofen on hand, but try pairing them with natural topical solutions like arnica cream or magnesium rub for muscle aches and tension.[3]

Preventive measures

Immune and digestion support

Because everyday health starts with a nourished, balanced foundation. Explore Grove-approved supplements to help strengthen your whole family’s daily wellness routine:

-Try targeted multivitamin formulas for every age, and help fill nutrient gaps and support everyday energy and immunity.[4] Look for options that are third-party tested and free from artificial flavors and sweeteners (P.S. all multis at Grove are).

-Incorporate probiotics for better gut health. A healthy gut not only supports digestion, but also your immune system and mood.[5] Choose shelf-stable strains tailored to either adults or children.

-Get vitamin D and zinc —these two immune allies support defense against viruses and inflammation, especially important during colder months.[6]

-Have natural remedies for occasional tummy troubles. We like supplements and teas containing chamomile, ginger, and peppermint, all plant-based ingredients that can soothe upset stomachs naturally — plus, they’re safe for kids when used appropriately.

Tailored wellness wins

Keep kid-friendly wellness on hand

When little ones get sick, safe and effective options matter more than ever. Here are some things to keep in mind when restocking your kid-formulated wellness products:
-For medicine like cold and fever relief, seek formulas free of synthetic dyes, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives. Grove carries options made with natural flavors and transparent ingredients you can feel good about.

-For occasional sleep support, try melatonin gummies or sprays formulated in kid-safe dosages. They can help reset routines when illness or travel throws sleep off-track.[7]

-For kid’s preventative health, look for products formulated for little ones, from probiotics to multivitamins. Often, they’re in easy-to-take formats like gummies and become easy additions to a morning routine.

-One more key tip: separate and label. Make life a little easier and have separate containers or shelves for adult and kid formulas, plus label bottles for extra clarity. You’ll thank yourself the next time you’re searching for medicine at 2 a.m.
