Jewelweed: bushy green plant with slender stems and spotted orange-yellow flowers that grows in wet areas and clearings; rub crushed stems and leaves on skin to ease the irritation of nettle and poison ivy rashes.
Burdock: Bushy green plant with reddish stems, hairy leaves, purple flowers and spiny fruit that grows in poor soils; crush leaves with water to make a poultice for infected wounds.
Thistle: spiny weed with puffy purple flowers that grows in poor soils; brew whole plants into a strong tea to wash insect stings, boils and poison ivy rash.
Pipsissewa: small plant with green and white leaves and clustered pink flowers that grows in dry woodland areas; brew leaves into an antiseptic tea wash for wounds or ingest as a diuretic.
Milkweed: sturdy. hairy green plants with sticky stems and leaves and milky white sap that grows abundantly in both dry and moist soils; apply milky sap to sores to help them heal or use to remove corns and warts.
Common Evening Primrose: leafy upright stem plant terminating in a bright yellow flower which grows in tilled fields or alongside roads and paths; brew whole plant into a tea which can be used as an astringent wash that stops wounds from bleeding.

Basic Burn Salve
Active Ingredients
Aloe vera
Numbing cream
Horsetail
Water drop weed*
Recipe
Use a mortar and pestle to thoroughly crush fresh aloe leaves and water drop weed. Roughly chop horsetail stems and just cover with boiling water - leave to steep for 15 minutes, then drain and cool. Add to aloe and water drop weed mixture. Mix into numbing cream (recipe here). Can be applied liberally to burns following immediate treatment to neutralise heat. Apply thickly under bandages and reapply at each bandage change. Eases pain and aids healing, reduces scarring if used regularly.

Ghost Mushroom Antidote
Description: Colourless clear liquid, recipe makes 2 litres, typically stored in 1L glass bottles
Ingredients:
10 large Marsh Ghost Mushrooms* (or 15 moderate, 20 small)
1 litre strong clear alcohol (high ethanol vodka is best)
1 litre cold spring water
Preparation: Pick the Ghost Mushrooms on a dark, reasonably cold night - the Marsh variety is the only kind that may be used. They may be kept for up to one hour after picking, but after no longer than the hour pack the mushrooms tightly into a glass bottle and pour over one litre of strong clear alcohol - vodka is best.
The bottled mushrooms should be kept in a cool, dark place. Put the bottle in a bucket and pack the bucket tightly with snow, replacing with fresh snow once a day or as needed if the weather is warmer. The liquid should never be allowed to become warm. Continue this process for no less than one month.
After a month the mushrooms will have leached their chemicals into the alcohol, and at this point the properties will be preserved. Strain the liquid and discard the mushrooms. For each litre of liqueur add one litre of cold, clean spring water. Store the resulting mixture in the dark, out of direct sunlight.
Use: This mixture is a strong antidote to many common poisons and should be administered at a rate of 100mL per 50kg of body weight. Higher doses can be attempted if desperate, however the mixture will begin to make people ill at around double the recommended dosage rate.
Shelf Life: Several years if correctly stored

Strong Pain Powder
Description: A mustard yellow, fine powder; recipe makes 2 ounces
Ingredients:
One tsp Troll's Ear powder*
One drop Grade D Duwyv sap, solid*
Small chip of Frost Bear spike*
One tsp Troll fungus*
Preparation: Grind the Frost Bear chip into a fine powder and mix with the powdered Troll's ear. Leave to sit for twenty four hours. This preserves the Troll's Ear so that it can be cooked or introduced to heat without losing its properties.
Grind the solid Duwyv sap into a fine powder and add to the original mix. Dry the Troll fungus thoroughly over heat and grind this into a powder also, before adding to the mix. Put the completed mix into a bag and shake vigorously to combine properly.
Use: Add the powder to wine or tea to mask the flavour. Preferable to large doses of pure Troll's Ear, which most patients will be unable to stomach. Use for moderate to strong pain such as broken bones, large open wounds or post-surgery, keeping in mind that plain Troll's Ear powder is a cheaper alternative for mild pain and in small doses can usually be disguised sufficiently in food. Dosage is a quarter ounce per forty eight hours for adults, half of this for children; effectiveness is comparable to morphine.
Shelf Life: 6 - 8 months if kept dry
