Making remedies is a craft. 
Knowing what to make is the skill.

You don’t need more herbs — You need a system.

What Is an Apothecary?

It's more than a collection of herbs.

An Apothecary is a working system of herbal medicine — the place where plants become something you can actually use.


For some, it’s a shelf of jars.

For others, it’s a cabinet of tinctures.

For practitioners, it may be rows of formulas ready to dispense.


But at its core, an apothecary is simple: it’s where knowledge and plants become medicine.

What You'll Learn

  • How to make herbal remedies you'll use
  • Matching herbs and preparations to real needs (pharmacology)
  • Apothecary planning and management: 
    • scheduling (working with the seasons)
    • supplies
    • plant ID and herb gathering (wildcrafting)
    • production
    • pricing and dispensing
    • organization

Clarity saves more money than any discount ever will.
Stop buying more — Start using what you have.

We Start With Where You Are

The first classes are not about giving you more information.


They’re about getting you oriented.


Inside these first lessons, you’ll:
  • take a clear look at your current apothecary (or starting point) in Starting or Expanding Your Apothecary – First Aid and Beyond
  • get grounded in what you want to build and what you will need to do it in Apothecary Planning
  • create a realistic, step-by-step plan in Syncing Your Apothecary with the Seasons (and beyond)


No guessing.

No overbuying.

Get clarity and direction.

Then You Build
With Purpose

From there, we move into the craft itself.


You’ll learn how to:

  • make herbal preparations with intention

  • understand how and when to use them

  • organize and manage your supplies

  • work with the seasons instead of reacting to them


And importantly...


You’ll develop a system you can actually maintain.

Start With Your Herbal
First Aid Kit

One of the most practical ways to begin is with a core herbal first aid kit.


Inside the course, you’ll follow a clear, systematic (and surprisingly enjoyable) approach to:

  • building your first kit from scratch or rounding out what you already have

  • identifying the most useful remedies to keep on hand

  • integrating first aid into your larger apothecary


This becomes your foundation — something immediately useful, not theoretical.

You’ll Learn to Work With

  • Everyday conditions: allergies, digestion, sleep, mood, headaches, and immune support (cold, flu, infection)
  • Acute care: burns, sunburn, bites, stings, cuts, bruises, and inflammation
  • Chronic patterns: blood sugar imbalance, pain, circulation, and musculoskeletal issues
  • Whole-body systems: digestive, nervous, respiratory, lymphatic, skin, liver, kidneys, and more
  • Foundational herbal skills: preparation methods and how to match herbs to patterns

Plus, get to know herbs like:
  • Dandelion, Red Clover, Yarrow, Oak
  • Calendula, Yellow Dock, Holy Basil

Who This Is For

  1. The collector with no system - You have herbs. You have jars. You might even have a shelf. But you’re not sure what you actually need, what you’re missing, or how to make what you have work together. This course gives you a plan.

  2. The herbal student who wants practical skills - You’re studying herbalism — through The Library, a year program, or on your own — and you want to turn that knowledge into something you can actually use at home. Build Your Apothecary is where theory becomes medicine.

  3. The practitioner formalizing their dispensary - You already work with herbs in your practice — as a nutritionist, bodyworker, or health professional — and you want a more organized, intentional home dispensary. This course gives you the system and the seasonal thinking to maintain it long-term.

Frequently asked questions

Is this right for complete beginners?

Yes, for the right kind of beginner. If you’re brand new and still deciding whether herbs interest you, our Starting Path may be a better first step. But if you’re already drawn to plants, experimenting on your own, and want a real system behind what you’re doing this course was built for you.

How is this different from The Library or the Year Programs?

Build Your Apothecary is practical and hands-on — about building a functional home system, not studying clinical theory. The Library is a deep archive of 90+ courses. Year Programs are structured curricula with defined sequences. This course complements both.

What do I get each month?

One new live class and Q&A plus the recording and a new section of the growing workbook. Plus ongoing Q&A support throughout. See the calendar for live class dates.

Do I need a lot of herbs or supplies to start?

No — part of what the course does is help you figure out exactly what you need and what you don’t. “Stop buying more” is the starting point, not the ending point. Class #2 helps you assess exactly what you need.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel anytime from your account. If the course isn’t what you expected in the first 30 days, email for a full refund — no forms, no hoops.

Teacher

Alberto Carbo, RH (AHG)

Alberto is a clinical herbalist, educator, and father of 3, who teaches people how to use plants as medicine and connect more deeply with nature. His path began in the garden and deepened through his experiences in Peru. Today, he combines his knowledge of plants, people, and practice to create herbal preparations and teach others how to use them in everyday life.

The Apothecary, or the making and keeping of herbal medicine, is where the herbalist converges their knowledge of plant identification and materia medica. More than just herbal extracts, the Apothecary is truly the bridge that herbalists craft between medicinal plants and those in need.

- Alberto Carbo, RH

Each month adds a new class, handout, and workbook section. The longer you stay, the
more your apothecary — and your archive — grows.

Whether you’re starting from scratch, working with a scattered collection, or refining an existing practice...this is where you bring it together.
