What is the advantage of handcrafted cosmetics and medicines?
Nostalgic pharmacy atmosphere, perfect cleanliness and silence. A pharmacist in a snow-white robe and a cap sits behind a glass showcase. Visitors with recipes. There was something unusual about that medicinal smell and the way pharmacists used to make drugs. They didn’t just take it off the shelf, but cook it according to a recipe written in Latin.
It has always been magic for me to watch my mother walk into this light-flooded room, take the barbells from the rotating shelves, weigh something, dissolve and mix something, and from this potions, drops and powders are obtained. My childhood was spent in a pharmacy …
In modern pharmacies, a huge number of drugs are placed on the shelves, and the assortment dazzles. However, there is almost no magic left when a pharmacist prepares prescription drugs.
Almost – because in our time there are still pharmacies that have retained unique specialists with colossal experience in the manufacture of medicines. Moreover, they also prepare cosmetic products.
It would seem, why? Now medicine and pharmacy have made great strides, and there is no need to manufacture drugs. But not everything is so simple. What’s so special about ?
The doctor can draw up a prescription for making a medicine, taking into account the age, concomitant disease and individual characteristics of the body. This is especially important when it comes to young children and the elderly.
Prescription cosmetics are also more effective. At the consultation, the cosmetologist can prescribe those components that will help you achieve the desired effect. And experts in the pharmacy will prepare a cream, balm, mask or other means using these drugs.

In this case, we are talking not only about affordable prices, but also the high quality of drugs. Their recipes were developed by outstanding doctors, whose names have forever been preserved in the history of medicine. And our doctors are still willing to prescribe such drugs, which confirms their effectiveness. The drug making process is complex and time consuming, only a specialist can make drugs and perform a complete analysis.
What is considered a relic of the past in our country is considered a step forward in many countries of the world. Both Western and Eastern medicine are inclined to believe that the treatment should be selected strictly individually, because the body of each of us is unique. The production of medicines and cosmetics according to the prescriptions of doctors is becoming a connecting thread between the difficult work of a doctor and the painstaking work of a pharmacist. This is the whole philosophy of providing quality medical care to the patient.
