A Catalogue of Herbs
The magical world of herbs and their various uses, noted by Amelia Baker. -For aspiring alchemist and those seeking some natural remedies for everyday ailments.
“My dear apprentice... No that sounds a little weird to write on paper, being that you are older than me. My dear friend; here are the notes you requested on the herbs I would have you gather for our next lesson.
Remember to take the gloves I left you. Yes, I chose the vibrant pink ones just for you. They match your cheeks when you blush.
Until next time,
-Miss Baker.”

•Has many medicinal uses, such as anti-inflammatory properties, reduce bruising, swelling and can ease pain.
•Safe to use during pregnancy and is known to ease pregnancy-related discomfort and mood swings.

[Stranglekelp]:
•One of the more dangerous plants on Azeroth, Stranglekelp is a green kelp that grows underwater along most coastlines in shallow waters.

•Tastes very salty.
Swiftthistle:
•Found around Mageroyal and Briarthorn – Take care when harvesting as it is parasitic: wear gloves.
•Very sugary and sweet to taste.
•When added to tea it can produce a short boost to energy.

Aloe Thistle:

Medicinal Notes by Amelia Baker
((These are just some fun ways I have interpreted/gathered information from common herbs in World of Warcraft and their uses for potions for my RP character!))
<Inside the pages of the book looked to be a catalogue of varies herbs and their properties, along with their medicinal effects. The writing looked a bit rushed and there were ink and colourful stains on the pages.> I have finally put together all the properties of the herbs I have found uses for over the years I was left to my own devices. The world offers a lot of natural wonders for us to use but we don't often do. Not that I am knocking healers I just... Lack the capacity to invoke the Light in such ways; but I want to help. Here are my musings, should anyone ever find this book left unattended. Herbs I have frequently used: Stranglekelp – Believed to have poisonous properties. Can be eaten. Strong healing powers. Other herbs can cause different reactions when mixed. Stimulant. Liferoot – Has natural healing properties. Tastes sweet. (Mild hallucinogenic in large quantities.) Peacebloom – Natural healing properties. Smells good. Earthroot – Believed to induce visions. Skin can be used to strengthen elixirs. Aloe Thistle – Can be eaten, though too much consumption causes stomach problems. Can be used as a salve for burns. Ancient Lichen – Soothing properties. Temporary and significant increase for pain tolerance. Briarthorn – Increases the effectiveness of certain herbs when combined. Strong healing agent. Dreaming Glory – Pollen can be used as antiseptic, anti-inflammatory salve. Goldthorn – Nice in tea. Invigorating properties. Burn remedy. Blindweed – Magic-amplifying and conducting properties. Mageroyal – Magical properties. When used with Swiftthistle increases the potency of potions. Swiftthistle – Energizing properties. Stimulant. Healing potion: Combine Liferoot and Briarthorn’s natural healing properties with Stranglekelp as a stimulant to produce a very effective healing potion. Take once a day so not to stress the body. I found this potion very effective for a quick fix for ones body when a healer is not handy. It repairs slowly but it will stop bleeding in a pinch and allow for the body to work its magic. Overuse has seen patients’ heart rate increase dangerously. Perhaps it is best used once a day. Rejuvenation potion: Combine Swifthistle, Ancient Lichen, Goldthorn and Stranglekelp together to produce a potion that will help with wounds while in battle while keeping the patient alert. Over usage will result in heart failure. Ah, this one works very well in the midst of battle. I often find myself tossing them around when someone in the party is wounded - not gravely - and needs to continue the good fight. Helps to for a temporary fix and heightens senses. Like the Healing Potion though, over use has seen people collapse in battle with heart failure. Oops. Mana potion: Combine Stranglekelp with Mageroyal to produce a strong regenerative tonic for temporary increase of magical capability. Over usage could result in addiction. Every spellcaster knows the exhaustion that comes from firing off spells like no tomorrow. The Mageroyal's natural magical properties combined with the stimulant from Stranglekelp has proven to help regenerate your spirit's mana pool for a short time... Alas, I have seen some mages fall to addiction of the constant magic flow. Restrict your usage. Minor injury salve: Combine Ancient Lichen, Dreaming Glory and Peacebloom over open wounds before bandaging. Allow to stay on skin for twelve hours before bathing. Very typical healing salve. Simple, brownish paste, to spread over minor wounds and bandage for a few hours. Why use magic when nature provides? Burn salve: Combine Aloe Thistle, Ancient Lichen and Dreaming glory onto effected area. Allow to heal in open air if not too severe. I am sure my keeper hates and loves this salve. For all the burns he had... It sure helped with the pain and slow healing process. Make sure if bandaging is needed that they are not wrapped too tightly to stick to the salve and cause damage when removed. I really must restock my medicine bag with fresh bandages...
