A Glimpse into History: The Traditional Use of Apothecary Bottles
Dating back to the 17th century, apothecary bottles, with their distinctive shapes and often ornate labels, were once a staple in pharmacies and medical practices to store a variety of medicinal substances, including herbs, tinctures, and powders. Each bottle was carefully labelled to indicate its contents, making it an essential tool for apothecaries (the old term for pharmacists) who compounded and dispensed remedies to their patients.
