Sprout & Geraltine

I’ve been trying out some herbal poultices lately—nettles, comfrey, that sort of thing—to speed up healing after a scrape. Do you ever use any plants on the trail to help with cuts or bruises?
Geraltine Geraltine
I keep a handful of things on my belt—nettles are useful for bruises, but I prefer comfrey for deeper cuts because it actually heals faster than a curse. If a plant smells like a battlefield I leave it out, but a bit of sage or chamomile can calm the itch and keep infections at bay. Just remember, even the best poultice won’t replace a proper wound dressing if the cut is bad.
