Already in the Greek and Roman era, the Latin terms apotheca and medicamentarius were used to mean a warehouse or store that handled medicines.

In medieval Europe, medical treatment was carried out in monasteries, which always had an attached herb garden and a dispensing room, and the dispensing monks often also served as physicians.
