Ask me about herbal medicine

[teledhelwen]

I could talk about it all day.

Good to know
And thank you!

Two things I am always looking for.

Plants that stop bleeding, and plants that dull pain (and plants that glow in the dark as a third).

Often, I have to make them up.


I generally look for these in two climates. A cold northern climate, and a warm southern climate.

What would you expect I would find?

 

[Finchbearer]

I’m interested in hearing your answers!

I'm with pmmg. I sometimes will take a browse through plant lore, like browsing a catalog. But when it comes time to write, I invent what the story needs. One of the advantages of writing fantasy.

I hope you found Achillea / yarrow for helping clotting, as I know it’s a coagulant. Glow in the dark plants you could look at ‘moon planting’. Lots of mallows have white flowers that ‘glow’ in the dark - or essentially in the light of the moon.
