At present, country of origin COO) labelling is only voluntary, nd according to Complementary Medicines Australia ceo Carl Gibson, underulised. “The industry in Australia is uniquely regulated, seng us apart rom the rest of the world” Gibson aid. COO labelling has created a signicant compeve advantage or local manufacturers in recent years” he said. “Unlike our competors overseas, Australia’s complementary medicine industry is regulated by the Therapeuc Goods Associaon, which requires tringent quality assessments of aw materials and pharmaceucal- grade manufacturing facilies – that dierenaon is incredibly valuable.” Australian origin branding has dominated growth in some CMs hrough Asia in recent months. “We see the iconic green-and- gold Australian Made kangaroo ogo as the most disncve way o promote ‘Australia’s clean and green’ complementary medicines o the world,” Gibson said.

DISPENSARYCORNER
LADIES, there’s a man out there
who may have just solved the
age old problem of your favourite
heels absolutely killing your feet.
Designer Christopher Dixon has
launched double heeled sleos
(pictured below) which he claims
are as comfy as sneakers.
Sure, it looks a lile dierent
but apparently the point of extra
contact between the ankle andcement makes the shoes easier
to walk in by improving weight
distribuon and taking pressure
o the arch of the foot.
Apparently his wife vouches for
them - she wore them so much
she had the heel caps changed
three mes in one year.
So, there it is, double the heel,
double the pain-free dancing!
WE’VE seen some prey out-
there nail trends but this is next
level: furry nails (pictured below).
CND nail polish sent its models
down the runway recently with
faux fur glued to their nails.
A bold fashion statement or
just stupidity? Seems just a lile
impraccal for every day life;
imagine simply trying to washyour hands? No one wants wet,
soggy fur nails!
If this one takes o as a trend
we are going to be seriously
worried.
