An Apothecary is an old name where you could buy remedies and ingredients to make them. It is a largely forgotten art which will be to our detriment in the near future.
In today’s world the Apothecary has been replaced by the money hungry pharmaceutical companies who are not as concerned for your welfare as much as making a profit.
In my perambulations through the ethersphere of the internet, I find many sources of things that can be made at home, simply, cheaply and just as effective as expensive mass-produced remedies.
This page will list things of interest to the people who want to know, who want an alternative to the poisons currently available on store shelves.
