====The Basics of Herbalism====
Herbalism in its most
basic and practical sense is the
power of plants, properly distilled
and applied, to heal, protect, and
enhance the mortal form. Its
practitioners often approach
it more philosophically; the
jungle elves especially
take a reverential attitude
toward preparing their
concoctions, which they
believe are a union of the
material world and the
divine spirit. An herbalist
is an expert in locating
and identifying plants with
special properties, starting
with those of his home region
and then expanding as he is
exposed to more exotic
species. He learns which
herbs to gather and prepare
for various effects, how to
find specific herbs, and what
conditions are best for producing
high-quality specimens.
