Royal Embrocation

Royal Embrocation

Royal Embrocating would have been a liquid based on an alcohol, maybe similar to an Aspirin Liniment. We used  Elimans  for strains and bruises. Aspirin has been known of for thousands of years it is derived from the bark of the willow.  Most drugs can be found in nature, from the deadly nightshade and the foxglove’s digitalis, to evening primrose, eucalyptus, opium from the poppy and so on. 

All the labels and veterinary medications were a gift from Annamarie Comben.
