Medicinal Herb Elixer

*You pick up a book entitled ‘Herbal Concoctions, by Valdek, son of Marek‘*

Many think of herbs as a quick solution to injuries on the battlefield, or a cure to a sudden illness. It is of no surprise then, that the practice of regularly taking herbal tincture for health benefits, is not the most documented of the herbal disciplines, but I intend to change that! You aspiring heroes out there would do well to take your herbal elixirs daily. A healthy body, after all, can stand firm against many a monster. Standing firm against the monsters means more treasure and more quests.

Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s get started on a simple medicinal herb elixir, ideal for the daily tonification of the body. And did I mention it tastes good? Well, perhaps not as good as a blue slime daiquiri, but it doesn’t taste like medicine, either!

First, you boil some water. You could be at your campfire boiling water from the nearby river, or at your home, or even at the inn of the town you are staying at for the night. When the water is boiling, your herbs should be ready to get drenched. Which herbs? Good question!

Since this is a beginner’s look, let’s start with something simple. Add hot water to the container with ginseng in it, and let it sit for a while. You may want to add honey and/or jasmine for that extra potency and flavor effect. It’s not that difficult! As you get better, you can add what you see fit, but this is a simple combination for a steady increase in vitality. Take dutifully every day, and those king cureslimes will think twice!
