A Few Useful Plants - 1



 
 

Marsh Grass

A very common sort of grass that grows along marshes, and bogs. It isn’t entirely too interesting, or multi purposed. It is most commonly used for treating minor cuts and scrapes, to prevent them from festering, but it would do no justice on any major wound.

-Simply administer this plant by squeezing it, and placing it on the wound directly. The juice that comes from the plant will do its justice.

Downs Poppy

The Down's Poppy is an effective anxiety reliever. and is safe for use on agitated children. Can be made into a tea for quick relief of nervousness and tension. A stronger decoction will offer pain relief. It grows naturally throughout the North Downs.

-Steeping the tea for longer than twenty minutes makes it incredibly bitter, and nearly impossible to drink. Any less, and it’s a potent pain reliever.

Blood Rose

The Blood Rose (Also known as Crimson Weed, as it is not actually related to a Rose in the slightest) is a type of milkweed with toxic milky sap that is emetic (Meaning it induces Vomiting) It is very useful, in that it expels worms from the body, brought along by eating foul meat.

 -Best if administered as a drinkable elixir

-Boiling the substance turns the sap into a more palatable paste.

 

Brandywood Mintat (Lover’s Leaves)

This one is fairly multi-purposed, but also rare – It grows naturally in the Brandywood (Obviously), and is a little difficult to use. It requires expert handling to get the fullest of its effects, and otherwise tamper with what exactly, it will do.

-The Salve variant is most useful for minor cuts, and scrapes. It requires being mixed with a common Milkthistle salve.

-The Elixir is commonly mixed with Conhuith, to create a powerful painkiller, or an otherwise useful means of gradually numbing the pain from otherwise long term injuries

- Can also be used for poisons, but such is not so useful
