The apothecary

Every herb

A page of its own for every herb

A picture, what it has traditionally been used for, and its dos and don'ts.

Each page also gives the exact steeping time and temperature and a who-should-avoid-it note, checked by a trained herbalist. No other herbal tea apothecary does both.
