Asian Apothecary

1999
Asian Apothecary is a site that contains information about Asain herbal remedies that are used to either cure or make certain ilnesses less irratating. We have included and introduction to the website to explain more about Asian Apothecary in general. Our website contains information on the history of eastern herbal medicine, which can give the patient and viewer of the website an idea of how effective Asian remedies really are. Along with the history, we have compiled four sections in which ayurveda is explained, the influences Asain herbal remedies had on Western medicine, how religion is involved in eastern medics, and the Chinese role in Asian herbs. Aside from the history section, we have compiled a district entitled "Asian Pharmacy," which explains to the viewers of the site the actions of the numerous Asian herbs in different illnesses and provides a guide that tells people how to apply these herbs in certain situations. Throughout the site, there are many pictures of different herbs that can help people distinguish one kind from another.
