An Assortment of Medicinal Matope Plants

[Minsuil]

The Cake Mage of Sheep

Can I add a plant with no known medicinal use? Appleberries are Sorrel's favorite but she's never gotten around to testing the roots or leaves for medical value. Come to think of it, I have yet to decide if appleberries are a plant like a strawberry plant or a bush like blackberries. I should think about this and decide soon.

Yeah, sure, why not. XD

Added some plants:
[✿] Snakeroot An upright plant that can grow to be very tall, they grow clumps of small white flowers. Often found in the dryer areas of the swamp, this plant is poisonous and prolonged exposure or ingestion can cause death. Despite this, the roots can be chewed into a mash that is useful in treating snake bites.
[❦] Willow The leaves and bark of willow trees can be chewed to relieve aches and fevers. Willow is essential and no healer/medic kin should be without it!
[❦] Nut Sedge These tall grasses grow along the banks of rivers, but can also grow in dry land. They can, and often do, grow taller than Kimeti. The stem has a unique triangle shape and can be eaten to treat nausea. The tubers of the plant that grow on the roots can be eaten or burned. The ashes of the burnt tubers help with bruises.

But lavender totally has medicinal uses! It's good for insomnia! ouo

These have been traditionally used to catch fish quickly and easily. XD Later I'll do some research and figure out which ones would be more common in a swamp for you to add to your list, but I figured it'd be good to share the page. :3

His main interest is in the stories of Matope, which he has carefully transcribed in pictographs on the walls of his cave, but he also takes a more-than-passing interest in the practical uses of different kinds of plants, and openly shares his knowledge with any kin who ask.[/size]

Added some plants:
[✿] Deathcap A white mushroom. As it ages the cap will flatten and it gets lighter in the rain. It grows within a distinctive swollen, sac-like base. Beware, even a bite can mean death.
[✿] Milkweed This plant as a distinctive seed pod and a strong smell. It is named for the poisonous white juice inside the plant. If eaten in large quantities it will cause death, but otherwise exposure will only result in a rash.
[❦] Poppy A flower with four to six petals and colors ranging from red, to pink, to orange, to the occasional lilac. After flowering, the seeds within the seedpod can be used as powerful painkillers but it is quite rare in the swamp. Try looking in relatively dry places.

Added some plants:
[❦] Cat's-Eye A rare plant that can grow up to a Kimeti's knee. It has a clump of leaves around an erect stem upon which a clump of silver hairs and yellow-throated flowers grow. It is said it only grows where silver is in the ground below. Some say it can cure moonsickness.
[❦] Ignatia A tree that grows a fruit in the shape of a pear. It has a slightly waxy texture and is said that it can treat depression and grief.  

[Mennykins]

[[size=13]✿[/size]][size=11] [b]Bleeding Crown[/b] A poisonous breed of mushroom that is only found at the mouths of caves in wet, humid areas. Eating one will cause swelling, blindness and in many cases, death. It is identified by its purple tip that fades to red with a white stalk.[/size]

[[size=13]✿[/size]][size=11] [b]Mire Root[/b] A root deep from the muck and mud of the swamp, difficult to find. Most noticeable from a single, thin white stalk that grows from the seed with small, plum-colored leaves. If eaten, it causes violent hallucinations, seizures and foaming of the mouth. Often, it is fatal. [/size]

[❦] Tangle Thorn This thorny vine grows into ball-like clumps. Though getting to the roots unscratched can be quite hard, the roots themselves are a panacea. Chew for stomache aches, head aches, and general pain relief.
