Crafting Medicinals

The following table has 14 sample medicinals along with their application, effects, and recipes. Solvents can include oils, water, honey. Crafting any number of medicinals takes 1 watch. All medicinals are bundled (3 to a slot). For example, “Poultice 3/3”.

For creatures afflicted by diseases, combinations of medicinals below may be used to treat diseases, where sensible. Components can be combined in creative ways that the players or referee may determine is appropriate. New components may also be invented and combined for other medicinals.
