Even before CE (common era), apothecaries were an important part of early society. The practice of making organic medicine from herbs was also present during the Roman empire. Since the Renaissance took a lot of inspiration from old Rome, they carried on the Roman traditions of medicine made of natural ingredients. During the Renaissance, students who wanted to enter the field of apothecary would be trained as apprentices. This meant that they would be learning from a skilled employer, earning low wages for a certain amount of time. In the 1500’s, the art of the apothecary was starting to be taught in universities as

I also really want to know whether some uses have died out or changed after contact and an increase of integration with the white settlers. For example whether there was a plant mixture to cure or minimize the effects of small pox and whether that same plant is now used for another medicinal purpose as a result of small pox no longer being a threat. It was also quickly touched on the video about providing herbal medication to individuals with known substace abuses problems and asking them to try and substance while taking medication.

In 1862, as the tribulation of the American Civil War unraveled, across the ocean an invasion of European vineyards began. Today, as we look out at the vineyards of the lower Rhône valley and admire their well-ordered appearance of tamed nature, we would not think that this was once a scene of desolation. Yet, in the mid-1860s, vines around Roquemaure, a small town and commune located in the South of France, Rhône, began to dry up and die. Over a span of 15 years, as an unexplainable plague spread across Europe, almost the entire country of France was "phylloxerated.” Withered. Wiped out. Consequences, both economically and socially, for people and organizations around the world were dire. Recovery from this catastrophic episode took
