Did you know … Wheatgrass can help heal a sunburn.

Did you know … Wheatgrass can help heal a sunburn. When the juice is used externally—either applied directly or applied to a cloth bandaged in place—the plant’s chlorophyll has been shown to help re-moisturize the skin, to alleviate sunburn, and to support burn healing*.

But—it’s more important to protect your skin from burns and excessive exposure altogether. Repeated sunburn has many long-term effects, including premature aging—loss of moisture and wrinkling—and increased risk of skin cancer. We encourage you to preserve your skin’s health and vitality, and make prevention a priority.

Always wear a broad-brimmed hat to shield your face when playing in the sun for extended periods of time. Wearing sunglasses, applying an SPF 30 sunscreen to unprotected skin, and avoiding exposure during peak UV times are also recommended.

ACHS Vintage Logo Apparel now available!!

We are proud to launch our vintage apparel line in celebration of 32 years of dedication to excellence in holistic health education. The original ACHS logo was created by our President and Founder Dorene Petersen and a local artist on Waiheke Island, New Zealand in 1978. It was inspired by Dorene's love for the old world apothecary and all that nature's bounty has to offer.

All ACHS apparel is printed locally and sustainably on 100% American made merchandise in support of keeping America working and thriving. We sourced a local screen printer who uses soy-based inks and sustainable practices to produce these truly one-of-a kind pieces.
