Erani smiled encouragingly as the young wolf thought, then gave his answers. She nodded with each one. ?Yes, even Juniper, though it?s best for Arthritis pain. Wintergreen is also excellent for pain.? She glanced over towards the direction of her sleeping mate?s quiet snores. Then she turned her attention back to Preston.
?Now. Since Aislyn is pregnant, this would be a good time to teach you about pregnancy and birthing care for new mothers. I know, this is an embarrassing subject, but it?s one that needs to be learned.? She smiled, and rose, going back to the herb pile. She began selecting certain plants. As she chose them she named them and their uses.
?Trillium; Apart from being good for treating Gangrene, and that condition is hard to beat, Trillium is wonderful for stopping serious bleeding and hemorrhages often experience in whelping. It?s also called ?Birthroot.? Also, it is good for easing the coughing of blood.
?Motherwort; Taken regularly, three times daily, toward the end of gestation; about the last few weeks, it eases the transitions in the uterus as it contracts and changes to hold new lives. It stimulates Contractions, eases the new mother?s anxiety; my own mother said it was very helpful in her own birthing. It helps prevent miscarriage, eases false labor pains. I?d like Aislyn to start using it once she?s near her time. Though by her size, she can?t be carrying more than one or two. She?d be huge by now if it were a full litter. Ah well, better one than none.
?Wormwood; When a new mother is experiencing trouble, or her contractions are weakened and ineffective, this helps to strengthen them, and speeds the beginning if it?s going too slowly.? At last, she finished and sat back, letting him take a good look at the herbs that would be his tools.
Then she smiled and said, ?As for pups, teething puppies can be given roots from the March Mallow plant, peeled, to gnaw on.?
