The apothecary was the one who supplied all the medicinal need of the people.
He was knowledgeable in the use of herbs spices and was, in a sense a
"physician pharmacist." The knowledge of herbs and plants allowed him to mix concoctions to aid people
in recovering or maintaining their health. Knowing how they effected the body
allowed him to prescribe and mix the right combination of things for each
problem.
This is by
no means intended to replace medical care or advice -- only to supply people with the
information they need to choose for themselves. The site does not employ a
physician or pharmacist and therefore cannot offer any true advice beyond a
description of the products and their intended use!
This is intended to be a natural health "mall." These sites carry all-natural
products or products intended to maintain or improve health through natural
means.
