Diseased and Cures
Many herbs you can use together to cure an ailment. The treatments are in no particular order, but their components (the actual herbs) are in the order of what should be applied first. (i.e., Broken Bones: the Ragwort-Berry poultice should be applied first, then Goldenrod Juice, etc...) 'Ingest' means eat. 'Use externally' or 'Apply externally' means use externally or apply externally. If you don't know what that means go back to second grade.
Catchweed Protect freshly applied poultices by sticking this over the area! Apply externally.
