SMALL PHARMACY, NATIONAL REACH
If you’ve arrived here, it’s not your first attempt to get relief from pain or treating specific conditions. Alternative medicines aren’t a first-line prescription and eligibility must be assessed.
If your doctor has prescribed you alternative medicine, you can get your prescription filled instore or by post for all locations in Australia.

Working with healthcare professionals
Our team develops a collaborative and supportive relationships with healthcare professionals to help ensure the optimal wellbeing of our patients. Through open communication Essence Dispensary bridges the gap between a healthcare practitioner and pharmacies as a specialist alternative medicine dispensary.
We see patient care as a shared journey between healthcare professional, pharmacist, and patient. We know when it’s time to give patients a nudge to consult with their healthcare professional when on a treatment plan.
Essence Dispensary’s network of healthcare professionals is built on rallying around shared goals and enhancing the overall patient experience. As specialist pharmacists, we educate patients through our specialised alternative medicine knowledge.
YOUR PHARMACIST, DHARNI
Essence Dispensary was founded in late 2023 by pharmacist, Dharni Khatri, driven by a clear calling to specialise in alternative medicine.
Both profession and belief led Dharni here.
Dharni’s roots in a Hindu household deeply influenced her holistic approach to wellbeing. She grew up seeing the efficacy of Ayurvedic medicine and learning about the power of the mind-body connection through hypnotherapy.
Today, she practices a holistic approach to life with yoga, breathwork, mindfulness and meditation. These experiences enrich her relationships with patients to create a deeper way to achieve better health and wellbeing.
Your one-stop shop
The Essence Dispensary team understands the importance of using the right tools in the right way for efficient medication use. We know that using the wrong tools or using medication incorrectly can be a costly mistake in terms of time, money, and hope.
We're committed to spending the necessary time with patients to demonstrate proper medication use techniques, and help them to set a positive mindset for their treatment plan.
Our alternative medication range is extensive and high-quality, available in-person or conveniently delivered by express post anywhere in Australia.
