🧠 Real Wisdom: Less Is More
A truly useful home pharmacy is about quality, not quantity.
You don’t need 80 products — you need the right 12–20, stored properly and used intentionally.
📦 Storage Tips
- Keep in a labeled bin or drawer, away from light and humidity
- Note expiration or opening dates with a marker
- Print a cheat sheet with usage & dosages (especially for oils and charcoal)
