Apothecary
The Herbal Barge Apothecary is there for people can drop in, access herbal medicines without needing to book a one to one consultation. It is a retail outlet of various over the counter-herbal preparations, and raw ingredients; somewhere to pick up repeat prescriptions, to chat and seek advice. Free 15 minute consultations are often available and the drop in apothecary may be your first port of call if you are wondering if herbal medicine has something to offer you.

Please note the Herbal Barge Apothecary is currently only doing occasional tow path pop ups. Please look to the calendar for details.
