Talking About Ouchie Bleedies

*Gavroche*

Gavroche was not kept waiting long. In fact, it seemed that Dorian had noticed the time and had come to meet him as fast as his little legs could carry him. Gavroche couldn’t help but chuckle at that. The boy looked as though he’d need proper grooming later. The tiny winged male resisted the urge to reach out and remove some of the twigs sticking out of his son’s fur, if only because Dorian seemed so interested and focused on the lesson and learning about the bark that Gavorche had gathered.

“Yes, you do, and we’re even going to work on applying it as well. First things first though, you’re going to have to learn what it is. This is bark, specifically white willow bark. The willow trees where you can harvest this bark grow in moist soil, near riversides or creeks. There is a creek right outside this territory by the name of cattail creek, where I harvested this bark. It is a handy medicinal item to have around.” Gavroche drew in a breath.

“The bark is made into a poultice for cuts and other wounds. I’m going to show you how to do that in a moment, and then we’re going to work on applying it as well.” The tiny winged man smiled. “I know I’m tossing a lot of information at you son, so if you need me to repeat anything, let me know. Now… the bark, as I said just a moment ago, is good on cuts, but it can also be used to ease the pain of arthritis, headaches, and cramps, and cure colds. You have to be careful, however. Allergies to willow are not uncommon and if you ignore this, in extreme cases, you can cause your patient to have internal bleeding.” Gavroche explained.

“Now, let that sink in. As you can see the bark is useful. I want you to repeat back to me where you can find it, and what it is most commonly used for. This repetition will help you remember about the bark.”
