The London Apothecary, Gracechurch, UK

 

  Based on the TV/DVD Video, the London Apothecary this book begins with Early American Apothecary, pin pointing tried and true home elixirs, liniment, and simple toiletry formula’s we all grew up to love.  The author first takes you back to Early American apothecary, discussing the history, basic ingredients, and marketing angles of products such as Badger Balm, Bag Balm, ChapStick, Gold Bond Powder, Nivea, Old Spice Formula, and many more.  A truly intriguing and easy to understand read.  Packed with recipes and formula's each one having U.S. and Metric standards of weights and Measurements. (80 pages.) 

 

      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.  The book also saves you money--telling you were you can get what ingredients locally.   To purchase Spiral Bound Book click below:  You will also automatically be returned to the PDF version upon payment so you can start indulging!  $18.95  (PDF below is offered at $14.95)

    

    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.

 London Apothecary  Mabel White’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. (87 Pages.)  Registered National Library of Canada, Ottawa, ISBN 0-9689836-6-9.

     The book is made up of five main parts:  A review of The Masters, such as Culpeper’s and Napier’s, Bath and Body Works, Burt’s Bees, and then transcends into Early American Apothecary, London Apothecary, Focus Area’s of Ailments ranging from arthritis, diverticulitis, eczema to psoriasis to name a few as well as how the UK Herbalist approach such, and then into workable recipes and formula’s that are the best ever produced by Mabel White.  The fifth and last part is the “Formulatory” that embraces the turn of the century concepts, with the UK influence and also hammers out the fastest and quickest method to make all of the basics, including, but not limited to:  Bath Bombs/Seltzers, Infusing Herbs in Oil, Beeswax Salve, Lip Balm Sticks, Body Crème, Foot Crème, Hand Crème, Cleansing Milks and White Tiger Muscle Rub to name a few.  To Purchase e-Book click below: $14.95 *Be ready to save this PDF to your hard drive upon completion of payment.  The PDF will come up instead of "thank you."

     The London Apothecary also has a fun side that the author found inventible and contagious when visiting the UK.  Arriving in the UK a bit skeptical to herbal healing, she first noted a bottle of “Fairy Cleaning Liquid” in her hotel room.  Right away she knew she could not keep it a “totally serious” trip and was enchanted with the foreign land.  Thus she includes formula’s such as “monster spray” fairy dust” and “castile toilet cleaning balls” to give tribute to the true magic of the UK, where all great apothecary was born.

     

     Previous Mabel White formula books, such as The Bathroom Chemist and The Self Apothecary, 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!

 

The London Apothecary: Gracechurch DVD/Video is now available for purchase.  This video takes you along on the UK trip with Mabel  and does touch upon some health and herbal subjects we are not “supposed” to talk about in the states.  Since it was filmed in the UK, visual topics are more broad range than allowed in the book.  In the DVD Mabel starts by showing you how to protect all of your raw materials to naturally extend shelf life for at least six more months, beyond other toiletry making techniques.  The DVD/Video is $19.95  (Out of Stock)
