Sure, let’s keep it practical. First, stick to plants you’ve seen working for a while – like comfrey, plantain, and yarrow. They’ve got known antiseptic and healing compounds. Second, always gather only the parts that are safe – leaves, stems, or roots, but not the bark or seeds if you’re unsure. Third, wash the plants in clean water and dry them on a clean surface, then crush or grind them into a paste. Fourth, test a tiny bit on a small skin patch to rule out irritation. Finally, store any leftover paste in a sealed container; keep it away from heat and light. That’s about it – no fancy rituals, just straight up survival medicine.

Sounds good. Just keep an eye on the rosemary – it can be a bit harsh if you’re not careful. And yeah, squirrels aren’t the best medics, so a little extra caution there won’t hurt. Good luck, and let me know if anything goes wrong.
