Concoctions that were made in [[apothecaries]], or as used in [[traditional medicine]], rather than nourishment or pleasure (in which case it would be [[cookery]] or [[cuisine]]). In a medical context, such concoctions have largely been superseded by [[modern medicine]].<br /> <br /> In modern usage, the term may refer more loosely to any mixture of various ingredients, including [[soups]] and [[cocktails]], or abstract ingredients, such as [[design]] elements in [[architecture]] or [[fashion]], or an elaborate [[wikt:excuse|excuse]]. <br /> In such uses, the term often retains a [[connotation]] that the mixture is strange, unusual, or elaborate.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Chemical mixtures]]<br /> [[Category:History of pharmacy]]<br /> [[Category:Biologically based therapies]]<br /> [[Category:Traditional medicine]]<br /> {{二次利用|date=14 October 2024, at 12:55}}</div>
