Our last visit for our Global Perspectives in Nursing journey was a tour of the German Pharmacy Museum located in the beautiful Heidelberg castle! It was interesting to learn about how sickness and health were related to spirituality. Some cultures still consider sickness and health an imbalance or a balance of spirituality. It was also interesting to learn about how we progressed from natural remedies to chemical pharmaceuticals. There were some interesting theories from centuries ago behind certain cures such as a plant with heart shaped leaves being good for the heart, or remnants from a skull curing migraines.
