Step into the world of an apothecary, where nature's remedies come to life. The delicate branches of White willow or golden willow, Salix alba, sway in the breeze outside the shop's entrance, inviting you to explore its healing wonders. Inside, shelves are adorned with jars filled with Juniper tree berries and leaves, Juniperus communis, known for their cleansing properties. As your eyes wander further, they meet a display showcasing the strength of Common oak tree bark and acorns, Quercus robur - a symbol of resilience and longevity. A vintage artwork titled "The Pharmacy" from 1912 adorns one wall; it captures the essence of this ancient craft. Your journey continues as you discover a basket overflowing with plump figs, Ficus carica - not only a delicious treat but also renowned for their medicinal qualities. Surrounding you are glimpses into various Medieval shops that once lined bustling streets; each one specializing in unique herbal concoctions. Curiosity leads you towards Ergot of rye fungus Claviceps purpurea hidden behind glass cabinets - its mysterious allure has fascinated healers throughout history. Scotch fir needles beckon your touch; Pinus sylvestris releases its invigorating scent as if whispering tales of vitality. A vial labeled Curare catches your eye - derived from Chondrodendron tomentosum vine found deep within rainforests; it holds both danger and remedy within its grasp. Transported back in time through another artwork depicting a 16th-century apothecary shop: wooden shelves lined with meticulously labeled jars holding secrets waiting to be unlocked by skilled hands. Centella leaves rest gently on yet another shelf – Indian pennywort or gotu kola Centella asiatica is revered for enhancing memory and promoting overall well-being. And finally indigo or nil Indigofera tinctoria reveals its vibrant blue hue, a testament to the art of natural dyeing.
