What a Day!

Her nod was firm, like she was supporting, agreeing and confirming his words all at once. He chuckled at her decisiveness, head tipping and smiling easily at her. Was it a genuine offer? He was still smiling as she spoke, agreeing to his offer and then saying she would try her best to remember it all. In the end that was really all he could ask of her after all. So he started by leaning down and nosing through the bundle he had already collected. "Well these four plants are the ones I've already found around here and I could always use more if you could find them..." He said as he settled onto his haunches and then began pointing to each as he spoke. "This green leafy one is Turmeric and it's used to help people with pain. It is chewed and it helps dull the pain as well as helps keep inflammation down. This one with the white flowers is Valerian and it needs to be dug up because eating the root can pretty much tranquillize someone. It helps is I need to fix broken bones or dislocated joints..." He hadn't done much of that since he had been here but it was easy enough to remember. He had only grabbed those two so far for for pain relief but they were the two he probably needed the most. "This one with the fluffy leaves is called Yarrow. It can be chewed and then made into a past to put onto wounds to stop bleeding. Then these red peppers here... If at all possible don't put them in your mouth and pick them up by the stem. I've only found one here so far luckily. But they are very spicy. It can be rubbed on wounds to stop bleeding or it can be eaten to help stop internal bleeding. Think you got that so far?" He was smiling still, trying to give the description of each plant, its use and how to use it in the simplest way possible. |
