A Tour around our Home Apothecary

I thought some of you may be interested in seeing our Home Apothecary or "The Little House of Healing" as Vellvin and Rogan named it.

It has been a very exciting venture to be able to grow in this area of Natural Healing for my family.
I have been interested in natural remedies since I was a young girl but never had the opportunity to access the ingredients.

Since moving here I not only have access to supplies but I am also  gaining much knowledge to use as well.
Amazingly enough in this house was a room that was simply a 'nothing room' that I was able to convert to our Home Apothecary.

So on with the tour! I will simple list what is on our shelves and guide you through ☺

HI, this is so inspiring, thanks for sharing! I only just discovered your blog and I find you and your family very encouraging. I'm pregnant with my 5th baby and from South Australia. I was wondering - have you done any courses in naturopathy or herbology or have you just figured all these remedies out from you own home research?
