Post subject:  Home/Commercial Remedies in Your Fantasy World
I've been sick the last few days, and been taking a few things, Zinc, etc, sucking on garlic, putting garlic oil in my ears (seriously), etc etc. And so I was thinking, what sorts of remedies are found in Vadra?
What remedies/medicines are in your world? Do they work, or are they superstitions? How do they work and what do they help with? How were they discovered at first? Are there some weird ones, like putting garlic oil in your ears? ;) Is the government friendly towards these alternative medicines, or do they push their own forward instead? Are some of these natural remedies mistaken for magic?

*Not sure if I got this in the right spot, sorry if I didn't* :P

I use a mix of traditional herbal remedies (the ones that I actually use on myself), such as chamomile tea for relaxation, elderberry syrup for immune system boosts, etc. I also have made up a lot of plants, and I make remedies from them (they are similar to the others, just with plants that aren't real). Most of the herbal remedies actually work, but not all of them are common knowledge.

I haven't really gotten into superstition-based remedies, yet. I have the idea that those would be something one might obtain from a fortune teller (the lowest on the "magic users" hierarchy).

That's cool! I'm planning on doing similar things in my fantasy world. :cool:
I like that some of them aren't commonly known. :D
