Lesson One: Poultices

Spirit was quiet but attentive as the training really began. Even if communicating wasn't his strong suit, listening definitely was, and he was nothing if not obedient. Prying himself somewhat hesitant away from his mother's side, he too allows his attention to move to the packet of herbs, sniffing the contents. Spirit nods in agreement to Eulogy's words. The smell of herbs is overwhelming but comforting - it seems to help ground him too, at least for now.

Carefully he adds the first two ingredients to the pot in front of them. Turmeric, an anti-inflammatory. The smell of this one is strong, but not unpleasant, Spirit decides. The ginger is strong too but in a different way. Once he adds both of them, and rips up the eucalyptus leaf as instructed, Eulogy adds the coconut oil. Though he isn't sure how they'll all come together necessarily he feels he gets the gist of what they're doing, and he's interested in seeing the final result, too.
