Erani pawed through her herb stock, looking for something more to teach him, but looked up at him as he voiced his question. She sighed, shaking her head. ?I don?t know. Maybe if I?d paid him more attention. Kept a better eye on him? Maybe he wouldn?t have left.? Her ears drooped slightly, before she turned her head back to the herbs she was looking through.
?I?ve a game to teach you. My mother taught me this one. It?s a sort of memory game. When we go out to gather herbs once this storm streak ends, I will teach you all the herbs I know that we pass, and name their uses. However, the next day, we will go the same way, and I will name them again, but I won?t name all the uses. It?s up to you to catch the missing uses and fill them in correctly.
?I want you to play the game all the time, as you?re wandering through Valhalla, or any of the other lands. Test yourself. If you find any plants that I haven?t taught you, but you feel they might be useful, bring them back, or take me to them. I may know it, but it?s not growing in Valhalla, so it?s always a good idea to note places where plants that don?t grow in Valhalla might be outside of the pack borders.?
She smiled at him. ?It?s quite a fun game, it trains your eyes to be alert for plants we need, and it?s entertaining.? She looked down at her chosen arrangement of herbs. Marigold, Meadowsweet, and Horsetail.
She?d used Horsetail on the Tortugan Leader, Kaien, to heal his sprained leg. Meadowsweet, to cure her own headaches. Marigold for surface pains, and to prevent infection. It had aided well in alleviating Blitzkrieg?s fever as well.
?Now. These three are Marigold, Meadowsweet, and Horsetail. Horsetail is a particularly interesting plant. The collagen in it helps to bind wounds back together. Dried Horsetail powder can be applied to cuts and bruises. It can also stop nosebleeds and reduces the coughing of blood in some diseases.. It helps with sore throats as well.
?Marigold is one of my favorites in severe injuries. It prevents infection, eases muscle spasms, and deals with fevers very well. It can be used on burns, as well as frostbites. Sprains, and light to heavy bruises are also well treated with this plant. It treats worms as well, and excessive bleeding so it would do well for a new mother who is experiencing too much loss of blood.
?Meadowsweet is excellent for treating aches and pains, particularly those of the joints, arthritis, and bad headaches. It also helps in relaxing the muscles, aiding sleep and getting rid of Insomnia. It?s also a wonderful fever reducer.?
She let him study the plants closely before she put them away. From the waning light outside, and the flashes of lightning being brighter, she deduced that evening had arrived.
?Well, that concludes the lesson for today. There?s a deer in that back Alcove if you?re hungry.? She stretched and rose to her paws, nodding to the Alcove she spoke of. Then she padded to her sleeping Alcove and peered in at the slumbering black male that was the mate she loved. He?d been hunting so much, she didn?t blame him for sleeping all day. Her tail swept through the air and she smiled, before turning back and going to the herb pile. She picked out a few fronds of Lavender and carried them into the Alcove she?d chosen for him. Setting them on the moss, she left his Alcove and came over to the deer to take an evening meal.
