Apothecary

 

There are many preparations in my apothecary to choose from.  I make all of my medicine. Whenever possible I use organically grown herbs from local farms. For those not grown, I harvest from stands I’ve tended for multiple years, always taking into consideration the long term care and biodiversity of the land.

 

 

 

Below is a list of herbs in my apothecary.

Labels mean:

fresh – tinctured with grain alcohol at 1:2 80-95%
