Overview[edit | edit source]

A Smart shop typically sells a variety of products including herbal supplements, vitamins, essential oils, incense, and books on related topics. Some smart shops also offer services such as biofeedback, neurofeedback, and counseling. The concept of the smart shop is rooted in the health food store movement and the idea of using natural products and alternative therapies to enhance physical and mental health.

Smart shops are known for their extensive range of natural supplements and herbal remedies. These can include vitamins and minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, probiotics, enzyme supplements, and herbal teas. Many of these products are marketed as being beneficial for specific health conditions or for improving general well-being.

In addition to supplements, smart shops often sell a variety of other products related to alternative culture. These can include incense, essential oils, candles, books, and music. Some smart shops also sell psychedelic substances, although the legality of these products varies by country.

Services[edit | edit source]

Some smart shops offer services such as biofeedback and neurofeedback, which are types of therapy that involve monitoring and modifying physiological processes such as brain waves, heart rate, and muscle tension. These therapies are often used in conjunction with the products sold in the shop to enhance their effects.

Legal status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of smart shops and the products they sell varies by country. In some countries, such as the Netherlands, smart shops are legal and regulated by the government. In other countries, such as the United States, the sale of certain products commonly found in smart shops may be restricted or prohibited.
