New at Wheatsville


Herbalogic natural herb drops are modern updates of classic liquid herbal tinctures used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) created by Austin-based Third Coast Herb Company. Read on to learn about three new formulations, now available.


Herbalogic natural herb drops are modern updates of classic liquid herbal tinctures used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) created by Austin-based Third Coast Herb Company. The company's founders, Jeanine Adinaro and David Jones, both licensed acupuncturists, saw a growing interest among their patients for natural alternatives to synthetic drugs. However, they found the practice of Chinese herbalism—a health tradition with more than two millennia of documented wisdom—was often difficult to communicate to U.S. consumers.

While visiting China’s Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jeanine and David were struck by how accessible and accepted herbal therapies were among average citizens, and the two decided it was time for someone to bridge the gap between traditional Chinese herbal practice and the health culture of North America.

In 2007, they started Third Coast Herb Company and launched the Herbalogic line of concentrated herb drops with formulas modified for Western tastes and culture. Shortly thereafter, they collaborated with herbalist Dr. Zheng Zeng to further develop and refine their formulas, resulting in nine Herbalogic products used to support the body's natural response to low energy, sleeplessness, stress and tension, minor muscle aches and pains, poor mental concentration, PMS mood swings, menopausal hot flashes, nervous worry and agitation, and issues related to seasonal allergies.

Wheatsville is happy to now offer three of Herbalogic's newest formulations: Fixed Focus, Flashback, and Peacekeeper.

Don’t wanna turn on the oven? You can even cook it on your hot BBQ grill, just be sure to put the cover on!

And if you’re the do-it-yourself type, our bakers are now making fresh pizza dough for you for you to make your own pie! Look for raw dough balls in our grab’n’go cooler, just $2.99 each!

Speaking of toppings, an easy solution is to graze our salad and olive bars, gathering already-prepped peppers, onions, olives, pepperoncini, mushrooms and more, and allowing each of your dinner guests to top their pizza with their favorite items! Along with your dough and veggie toppings, grab a can of Muir Glen Organic Pizza Sauce from the grocery aisle (one can has enough sauce for four pizzas!), your favorite shredded cheeses, and some sausage or bacon from our meat department, and you’ve got a personalizable pizza party to be reckoned with!
