The main part of The London Apothecary takes you to the UK to see what simple ingredients and remedies are allowed “OTC” (Over the Counter) that are generally not seen, and/or not allowed in the United States.   Some basic materials are available in the states, but restricted as to what “labeling” they can be sold as for no clear reason, offering the reader more to ponder about.  Deborah Dolen's book also saves you money--telling you were you can get what ingredients locally.   Click here to purchase hard book and here to purchase eBook version.  See Deborah Dolen filming in London photos on Flickr!

 

 

Paring the old tried and true formula’s, with modern technology such as a microwave instead of the old “double broiler method”  and using a hand held mixer instead of arduous stirring,  the author makes even more simple the “make it yourself” elixirs, liniment, and simple toiletry formulas.   Beyond making “creation” and clean up easier, The London Apothecary also brings to the table new and exciting ingredients that have merit and are well known and loved in the United Kingdom and have been since the recording of time.  The London Apothecary  Deborah Dolen's newest and greatest book.  Learn Early American and UK Apothecary formulas and recipes that stood the test of time.  Easy to make, this book uses modern technology to speed things up.

Sample Formula

Syrup d'Pastor:  A Readers Formula Submission We Love! based on The London Apothecary

Hya! I don't know if you want to use it or not, but I been making this batch like crazy for about 3 weeks here...take a whole white onion, slice into rings, add some fresh chopped garlic, add some cinnamon, red pepper flakes, and a bit of oregano.  Add it all to a pot, and dump a container of honey to cover it all.   I then put it on lowest setting and occasionally sort of mash it/mix it -- you will see the onion and garlic sort of slowly shrink in the honey. after a few hours, strain it and put in a jar to keep in the fridge. This makes the best cough syrup, and I use it on the whole family, as much as they let me shove it in their mouth-about 2 tablespoons each time.  Also add to herbal tea, and towards the end, I dump leftovers over chicken or pork and bake it in the oven.

The other thing I do is take vodka, and add lavender, eucalyptus, and white camphor, and spray it all over the house and bedding and kitchen/bathroom surfaces."

Other books by Deborah Dolen

Previous Mabel White DIY formula books, written by Deborah Dolen include The Bathroom Chemist and The Self Apothecary, and The Beekeepers Digest are recipe, technique and formula heavy, offering a broad creative range. They are also pretty much a prerequisite if you are new to making your own toiletries, where The London Apothecary formulatory is more advanced, having a newer and definite focus on perfected techniques of making the actual base balm, natural wax jelly, lotion, and truly hard bath bombs.  In part due to newer methods discovered during 2004 and 2005.  We know you will enjoy this book and it will be a basis of your library!  Have fun!
