The Home Apothecary/Medicine Chest

From immune boosting botanicals, to first aid herbals and culinary medicinals, the home apothecary is an important component to any healer's toolkit. We often think of building an apothecary with loads of fancy herbs, but sometimes the mightiest ones are filled with garden-fresh medicines, made right in your home. The tradition and practice of building and tending a home apothecary is one families relied on for many years, before the act of preparing (herbal) medicines was removed from the home.
