Eagerly her first student would bound into the glen, proudly she would watch as the boy offered his bundle of herbs. She was glad to see how much the young boy had learned, but like every wolf he was always learning more. She would smile warmly as he greeted her, the warm feeling of being such a teacher rising up within her. "Hello Sage, hopefully I have something to teach you. It seems you've already taken to the art quite well." she would grow silent but the smile still sat upon her features as her cousin made her way into the clearing. Her voice would greet her, and she seemed slightly unsure of herself. Song would hold back a giggle and instead gently confirm that she should be there, "Hello, Satu! Yes please join us, I'm not sure how many there might be." Satu would shrug, but would hopefully stick around for the lesson. As she looked to the girl another familiar form would make its way into the class, her lovely sister Novella would nuzzle the Oracle affectionately. Song would return the gesture as the younger wolf moved to their cousin. "Hello, sister. Today I'd like to teach you the healing properties of a plant many of you would not look at twice. Considering where we live however I think it's important to know the healing properties of the mangroves." She would look back to the tree behind her for effect. Song really didn't know if anyone else would find their way into the lesson, and would hesitate before she began in earnest. "I don't know that anyone else will show up, so I guess it's best we begin. The first few uses are rather... Similar. If you gather the flowers you can use them as a laxative, while if you ingest the bark it works as a cathartic. The first of which will ease defecation while the later will accelerate it." she would pause for a moment, letting the information sink in, yes it was a rather... Gross topic but you never knew when you would need such information. "The last important healing aspect of our trees is the resin, or in our terms the blood, the scab. This technique is a bit more advanced but after you've gathered the sticky substance find a shallow pool of water or even fill a large leaf with the resin and water. It needs the heat of the sun to activate, but once it has steeped in heated water you can alleviate muscle and back strains. Or even simple back pain." again she would come to a close to let them accept the knowledge. "Does anyone have a question? I'll do my best to answer." such would conclude the amount of information she had on the mangroves.?
