Definitely NOT considering styrofoam. Thanks for your ideas Ellen.

I would really hate to see pieces of Styrofoam floating around my room. It would be emotionally distressing.
I’m doing what you’re doing but we live in much smaller quarters. We’re moving to even smaller ones. So this is my plan:
Get boxes that are the same height as the drawers where you will keep the remedies.Drawers and shelves are both OK. Buy them at the dollar store or in bulk online. Or even use cardboard boxes if they’re available. But they have to be small. Put the bottles in Ziploc bags. You can get all kinds of different sizes to suit your needs. Then stand up the bags in the small boxes. The boxes are needed to keep bags standing. I usually stand up the bag that is next to the bag that I’m taking out. That way it’s easy to find where I should return the remedy when I put it away. They are lined up in alphabetical order. Still, less confusion is always better for me.
I usually close my bags. But it’s really not necessary if you have bottles. The idea is to keep the same remedies together regardless of potency. Because I use plastic boxes, I also close the boxes. Of course, all of these containers need to be labeled. But I wouldn’t label the boxes in too much detail. After all, they’re going to be moved around as my remedy collection changes.
I think Styrofoam would be a pain in the neck.
In Japan we have pillows stuffed with plastic beads. I guess I could use those instead of Styrofoam. At least they’re heavy enough so they wouldn’t come jumping out of the drawer where the remedies are kept.
Best,

Ellen

If you are concerned, you might consider "medical grade foam".

I don't know if you saw my post about the storage boxes I found.

They are plastic with numerous drawers and can hang on the wall if desired.

Mine have 15 drawers each and hold the standard blue tubes lain down.

They are designed for small parts like screw and nuts and washers but
work well for the remedy tubes. For bottles of liquid I have several
lidded plastic containers that are deep enough for the bottles. They, too,

come in different sizes I assume the UK has something similar

Oh! I never heard of that - will look into it and thanks Leilanae.
