So there's a lot of info on growing food and whatnot in solarpunk settings. But is there info on medicine? Like, is there anything that's both scientific but DIY on making your own medicine past just basic herbs? But with ingredients you can grow or process yourself?

I'm not very knowledgeable about medicine at all, so I might be missing obvious things.

Beyond basic herbs, it could get risky. Usually, the intervals between no effect, healing effect, and deadly effect are small. Often, chirality gives you a mixture of good medicine and deadly enantiomers (cf. Thalidomide scandal). Not to say, basic herbs can be quite powerful. Mint is a known potent painkiler, chamomille has great antiinflammatory effects.
