Roots and Rhizomes

Some of the herbs Kavdaya kept in her stock had gotten moldy, which made sense considering the mild winter they had experienced around here. Solveiga listened closely as the kinds of herbs they needed were described. Colds, bleeding, and birthing. Marigold would be easy enough to find, and it would help with the sore throats brought on by most colds. As far as birthing, Solveiga truthfully had no idea what to look for. She would need to ask. But bleeding meant they would need "...yarrow." Kavdaya said, as if completing her thoughts. Solveiga nodded a bit and watched carefully as Kavdaya harvested the plants, snipping the stems with smooth and practiced movements. "Well," the girl began, trying to formulate an answer for her teacher.
"I know of some herbs that help with general pain," Solveiga replied softly. "Cannabis, for example, and meadowsweet. But I don't know the name of the herb used for the pain of childbirth." She wished she did. But that was why she was a student and Kavdaya was a teacher. So Solveiga stayed alert, ready to absorb all the knowledge she could. "Motherwort stimulates contractions, though, right?" Definitely a good herb to have in stock, and fortunately it could be easily found in the Vericona Plains. Solveiga, admittedly, had also used a bit of motherwort on herself during this past season. She had learned from her mother that it could help with the discomforts of a female being in heat. |
