Barmacy explores the centuries-old intersection of healing and intoxication. Across the world, alcohol has been used to preserve herbs, extract medicine, and deliver relief — from African herbal spirits and Chinese medicated wines to South American aguardiente tonics and European bitters. This gallery presents the evolution of alcohol-inclusive remedies, examining how different cultures balanced chemistry and belief. A curated Barmacy Menu showcases regionally inspired treatments and ingredients, bridging ancestral practice with modern standards.
