Exploring the rich history of pharmaceutics, we delve into the life and contributions of Nicholas Culpeper, an English physician known for his herbal remedies. In Turku, Finland, we visit the fascinating Pharmacy Museum and Qwensel House where we are transported back in time to witness the evolution of pharmaceutical practices. The museum showcases an insulin production plant that revolutionized diabetes treatment (C017 / 9435). As we wander through its rooms, we marvel at the collection of ancient medical tools and potions (Room). The old laboratory equipment reminds us of how far science has come in advancing healthcare (Old l). In this captivating museum, our attention is drawn to a time-release drug capsule under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) – a testament to modern drug delivery systems. We also encounter intricate molecular models representing HIV antibody therapy (F006 / 9622; C018 / 9193), highlighting groundbreaking advancements in treating infectious diseases. Pharmaceutic history intertwines with scientific progress as we appreciate both traditional remedies and cutting-edge innovations. Join us on this journey through time as we uncover the past and present wonders within the world of pharmacy.
