armada expansion: healing

Gossamer worked to gather some of the bark, wincing a little at the bitter flavor and strong odor. The greyish brown bark was useful but not terribly pleasant to gather if one had to use their mouth. Her ears perked up as Ophelia gave her the ok to share a little bit about cramp bark. She hoped the others would share so she could learn about new herbs as well. "Cramp bark, as you might guess, helps with cramps, spasms and convulsions. I find it best given as a decoction or tincture." She fancied the tincture herself to help mask the bitter flavor.

Once satisfied with her haul she continued looking about, pausing as she heard Ophelia mention something about vipers. "Vipers?! Where?" She bounded over towards Ophelia wondering if her sister had found a hibernating snake in the sand but instead spied an interesting plant. "Oh, nice find, what's that?" She was surprised to see a plant flowering in this bitter cold.
