As its name suggests, Capitol Hill’s new SugarPill is not your typical apothecary.

Want to satisfy your sweet tooth? Check. Trying to hunt down pink Himalayan salt? Check. Looking for something to soothe that cold you’ve been battling? You can find that, too.

‘I wanted to open up something a little bit unusual, not just a pharmacy,’ explains owner Karyn Schwartz, who is eager to share her passion for natural medicine. Her house blends, including Clear the Airways Bothersome Cough and Northwest Herbal Cold and Flu (about 7 bucks), are made from ingredients like elderberry, marshmallow leaf, mullein, anise, and peppermint.

SugarPill isn’t just about getting over bad feelings. You can now drink the chocolate elixir of Marie Antoinette’s court. Schwartz’s favorite treat is a line of historic drinking chocolate from the KaKawa Chocolate House; the recipes are carefully researched for accuracy.

More of a savory, less sweet? Find just about every gourmet salt under the sun: pink, gray, black, coarse, finely ground, etc; slab, packaged in sweet glass bottles, or in teeny, adorable tester tins.

And when there is nothing to cure and no craving to satisfy, SugarPill also offers a selection of beautifully wrapped soaps, girlie perfumes, delicate glassware, and greeting cards.
