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.

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.
