Caring for oneself should be simple. Help Remedies is here to, well, help.
By removing the "gaudy graphics" from their 100% recycled paper pulp packaging, Help Remedies wants to prove that first aid need not be complicated. We appreciate the stripped-down look of their products but we're even more in love with their wit...
Help Remedies is all over the right track. Not only are their packaging materials greener than most medicinal products but they're also pitching into the bigger picture. 5% of any profits made from sales of the pain reliever and bandages are "returned to charities that help people without healthcare get healthcare."
The silly side of the company also sells T-shirts, in which you can customize your own 'Help' request. Or, if you're looking for a virtual remedy for feeling aggressive, dumb, evil, or topless, visit the very clever Help I'm bored section of their site.

Help, I am paying a lot for witty packaging.
I buy my bandages in a paper box and pain relief in a plastic bottle which can be deposited into my city's recycling program.

i think this stuff can be recycled too, peacelily. And why not pay for the packaging...it's cute, and a lot less obnoxious than some packaging.
