Dr Chill has strain-specific hemp oil products that act differently, to support individual needs in a thoughtful, tailored way.

As we reach the middle of the school holidays, some of you might need a bit of calm, or maybe invigoration. Whatever you need, the Dr Chill hemp oil stall has the solution.

When you step up to the Dr Chill stall and see the full range laid out, it can feel like a lot at first – different colours, different names, different intentions. But the philosophy behind it is simple.

Each certified-organic hemp oil product is crafted from a distinct hemp strain, each with its own unique cannabinoid profile. This allows for more personalised support, whether you’re looking to improve sleep, aid recovery, lift your mood, or find a sense of calm or focus throughout the day.

Wellbeing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and these strain-specific products are designed to support individual needs in a thoughtful, tailored way.

Relief – Sleep & Recovery: commonly used in the evening to support restful sleep and post-day recovery.

Uplift – Mood Support: a mood-enhancing option suitable for both day and night use.

Focus – Clarity & Cognitive Support: often used during the day to support concentration, clarity, and overall cognitive performance.

Calm – Nervous System Support: deeply relaxing and suitable for day or night, commonly chosen for stress, tension, pain, and general nervous system support.

Dr Chill also offers a pet oil suitable for animals, including dogs and cats. It can support anxiety, hyperactivity, inflammation, and joint issues, particularly in older pets.

For more targeted relief, the high-strength balms provide a stronger option for sore muscles and joints.

If you’re unsure which product is right for you, the best place to start is a conversation with Ziggy or Rachel at the stall about how you’re feeling and what kind of support you’re looking for.

Find Dr Chill every Tuesday from 7am to 11am at New Brighton Farmers Market, and every Friday from 7am to 11am at Mullum Farmers Market.
