About This Book
Your grandparents didn't need a pharmacy—they had an apothecary, and Dr. Nicole Apelian wants to give it back to you.
Dr. Apelian brings over 30 years of hands-on herbalism, a Ph.D. in biology and time spent living among the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert to Forgotten Home Apothecary. The book's 288 color pages contain 250 remedies organized by ailment—from a three-mushroom tincture she used to manage her own MS symptoms to a near-lost back salve, a natural sleep aid and a homemade probiotic—each with step-by-step instructions, photos and precise dosages.
For anyone curious about plant medicine or simply looking to reduce dependence on conventional over-the-counter solutions, this is a practical, visually navigable reference to the time-tested remedies that sustained generations before the modern pharmacy existed.
