Traditionally spaces for healing within the community, apothecaries took a holistic look at health, giving their patients personalized prescriptions and practices to heal both body and mind. But today's consumers who want to enhance their wellbeing and prevent the adverse effects associated with fast-paced, busy lifestyles - including stress, insomnia and digestive problems - are missing this vital middle ground between perfect health/wellness and going to a doctor. The Modern Apothecary combines nature and science to restore calm to modern-day lives. This beautifully packaged book inspires and informs the reader by reviving the science-backed potions and rituals of the past and exploring the essential role these practices have in alleviating common complaints and ailments of today. The Modern Apothecary also reveals how the readers can seamlessly weave these principles and routines into their everyday life, to support their wellbeing - in particular the key pillars of health: sleep, balance, movement, focus, and diet.
