“Why Apothecary Guarantees Your Success
in Making Herbal Remedies...”

Learning about herbal medicine doesn’t have to be complicated.

When I got started years ago I didn’t know where to start. And it was frustrating. I tried a few books — but something was missing.

All I wanted was someone to show me the basics so I could get started the right way… Like an “Easy Button.” I was a busy dad and had no time or money to waste on hours and hours of study.

Today there’s too much conflicting free information online, it’s overwhelming! Online courses, certifications, hundreds of books, social media… Who has time for that?

And worse yet — it’s hard to know who you can trust.

After helping tens of thousands of budding home herbalists over the last 20 years, I created the perfect place to begin.

Apothecary EMPOWERS YOU to successfully make your own herbal medicines at home, quickly and easily, and it’s FUN!

Our Simple Herbal Learning System guides you every step of the way.

Not only will you stock your kitchen with essential herbs and supplies, you’ll also learn how to make the 15 Core Herbal Remedies.

From teas and tinctures to syrups and salves, your kitchen will be transformed into a natural pharmacy that you and your family can rely on for years.

The Medicine Maker’s Cookbook guides you through building your home apothecary. It includes simple access to every remedy video via your smartphone. You also have the option to view the videos through the website. We show you exactly what to do and when to do it so you never get overwhelmed. You never have to worry about being unsafe or making a mistake.

Swipe through all 15 Core Remedies
you’ll make in Apothecary.

1-chamomile-tea-with-roses-vanilla

There’s a reason that we start with tea… because most people don’t know how to properly prepare it. Learn to make the best herbal tea possible that is more healing for your entire family… and costs less.
2-lemon-balm-oatstraw-infusion

Get vitamins and minerals from nourishing plants instead of synthetic pills. You’ll have the satisfaction of always knowing you’re taking natural ingredients. This is a calming and relaxing blend, perfect for settling your nerves after a long day.
3-immune-building-astragalus-chai

Welcome to Rosalee’s secret to making herbal medicine taste delicious. Brewing a pot of this chai every day will keep the doctor away during cold and flu season. This blend also helps with digestion and inflammation. Brew up chai in 15 minutes, keep it in a thermos, and enjoy all day.
4-elderberry-spiced-syrup

Would you rather spend $22 for a tiny store-bought bottle of elderberry syrup or only $7 to make a much larger amount? This is incredibly simple. Elderberry syrup stops viral replication and powerfully supports the immune system. It's easy to keep in your fridge and awesome on pancakes!
5-garlic-honey

A two-ingredient cough remedy. Over-the-counter antihistamines and expectorants can be dangerous, so why not combine the best natural antimicrobial foods we have? Not only can you pronounce the ingredients, you already have them in your kitchen.
6-fire-cider

Rosemary Gladstar’s classic remedy that is wonderful for congestion, sore throats, and to heat up winter chills. Safe to take by the spoonful for chronic situations. Adding fire cider to homemade salad dressings is preventative and food-as-medicine at its best.
7-echinacea-tincture-throat-spray

A first aid kit for your purse or kid’s backpack. Do you buy those little bottles of tincture for $15? Did you know you can make an entire jar of any herbal tincture for that amount? This is one of the most well-known herbal remedies, and not many know that its uses stretch beyond colds and flu. Also, make a travel-sized throat spray.
8-echinacea-glycerite

Some folks can’t have tinctures with alcohol, or perhaps they don’t want their young kids using them. Learn how to correctly prepare non-alcoholic tinctures. Your new glycerite and tincture making skills are transferable to any herb.
9-ginger-lavender-massage-oil

Make a homemade massage oil that smells amazing! A wonderful way to learn how to make your own herbal oils. This recipe increases circulation, modulates inflammation, and relieves tension and pain. Your friends will ask you for this year after year.
10-healing-herbal-salve

Imagine the perfect gift to give to your friends and family. This travel-sized herbal salve is great for scratches, minor cuts, rashes, cracked skin, insect bites, minor bruises, scrapes, and bumps. A magical first aid kit in a jar and a fun project to make with kids.
11-soothing-calendula-lip-balm

You probably know that many lip balms contain petroleum. If so, then you also know the natural ones are expensive. You’ll be amazed how simple and cheap it is to make your own 4-ingredient lip balm. Includes a bonus labeling template to make your own private label lip balm and give them away as gifts!
12-chamomile-peppermint-compress

An ancient herbal remedy, and yet so few make compresses. As simple as making a cup of tea, a compress can help headaches, rashes, hives, fevers, itches, and pain. If you can find hot water and the herb you need, you can make a compress wherever you travel.
13-trikatu-pastilles

A classic Ayurvedic remedy that strengthens digestion and helps with stuffy sinuses. Did you know you can make your own pills with just herbal powders and honey? Simple, yet powerful.
14-artichoke-orange-bitters

Drinking them before a meal is a traditional way to promote digestion. Bitters are sure to become an enjoyable part of your daily meals that improves your digestive health.
15-tumeric-golden-milk

Chronic inflammation, heart health, liver health, and brain health. There’s not much that turmeric doesn’t help. However, you can only eat so much curry. Rosalee’s take on this traditional recipe is a fun and frothy treat that the whole family will enjoy.
You also get instant access to the Apothecary website. This means that you can start right away while you wait for your Medicine Maker's Cookbook to arrive in the mail. The Apothecary site contains every video and recipe in the cookbook in addition to some amazing bonuses that are listed below.

Wondering how much of an
herbal remedy to take?

Herbal Dosage Strategies Video Class

What about the four herbs
that are not in the book?

Alchemy of Herbs: The Lost Chapters

Comfrey, Calendula, Echinacea, and Plantain. There just wasn’t any more room in Alchemy of Herbs for these amazing herbs. We felt it was only proper to provide four new and extensive chapters worthy of being printed in Alchemy of Herbs. Consider these PDFs the “lost chapters.”

Success Stories from Apothecary...

“Literally changed my life”

Apothecary along with the book Alchemy of Herbs has literally changed my life. It inspired confidence in my ability to safely add herbs to my life. It has helped me understand the difference and how to make a wide range of herbal media ranging from salve, teas, oxymels, syrups, tinctures, and a lot more. I have since applied those techniques to make herbal remedies other than those in the series.

“Easy-to-follow steps means that you don’t become overwhelmed”

The Apothecary series has been a tremendous bonus on getting started with using this awesome book for my beginning herbal journey. So much information and it’s been distilled down to easy-to-follow steps so that you don’t become overwhelmed. And may I just say that their customer service has been above and beyond stellar. Very happy with my purchase of the book and the Apothecary series.

“I feel like I'm in a friend's kitchen”

You can find out about herbs in books and online, but what I like about Apothecary is that the information is given in an informal and easily digested way. When I watch the videos, I feel like I'm in a friend's kitchen sharing an herbal experience. Their presentation allows learning new ideas in a relaxed and yet fully knowledgeable way. Thank you!

A lot of learning for the money

I really appreciate the amount of teaching that you share that doesn’t cost a great amount of money. You have shared many recipes that I have been able to use and a lot of teaching on the many different herbs for medicinal use that I have applied. I am on a very low income, but I have been ably to purchase a couple of your learning bundles that aren’t out of reach for me to buy. You have been a blessing to me! Thanks.

“A place you can trust”

The book, Alchemy of Herbs, the Apothecary website, and LearningHerbs’ website — it's a valuable package of information. I am looking forward to years of quality support and exploration. I came across LearningHerbs in an effort to find information that would help me rekindle my health and stumbled onto a path of learning that is opening up a new world for myself and everyone I love. This is where you want to be; this is a place you can trust.

Even the “herbally experienced” can benefit

I’m fairly experienced with making herbal remedies, so I was a little skeptical about purchasing Apothecary. Surprise, surprise, my old skills were reinforced, and I learned a bunch of new things, too! Best of all, I have an amazing video library that I can refer to again and again. The PERFECT complement to the book Alchemy Of Herbs.

“Passion, honesty, and comfort”

Over the years I have collected many herb books, gone to seminars, and viewed so many videos. Some are good and some just want your money. What I love about John and Rosalee and I am sure many more that make Apothecary happen is the passion, honesty, and comfort in coming into your home to share and teach. I feel they both really care about giving this amazing information to us so we can stand in this world informed, healthy, and ready to share this healing work through herbs that will make a difference in lives. Thank you so for your giving, knowledge, and time!
