Victorian Pharmacy On BBC 2
Posted by Viola Woolcott
I’m just watching Episode One of Four of the recreated authentic 19th century Victorian Pharmacy on BBC 2. You know me, it’s all natural, so I find it very interesting. I’m amazed at what remedies they make with ingredients like the oil of earthworms, opium, a natural cough medicine laced with Cannabis and Morphine. Not to mention the traditional blood sucking Leeches.

You might be interested to know that we still make a traditional cough syrup like that on Victorian Pharmacy BBC2. Napiers Herbal Cough and Chest Syrup is a licensed herbal medicine containing horehound, lobelia, senega, acetum scillae and pleurisy root. We opened our doors in 1860!
