The field of traditional medicine, although relying on older ways to treay illnesses and diseases, is constantly finding new ways to utilise herbs and fruits and berries in it’s medicinal march. You’ll need to have a creative mind to master the uses of old ones and to conjure up new ones as well, like a spell !

The methods and ways of traditional medicine are different. You’ll need to be able to convey complicated information as what the uses of certain remedies, and the importance of using it on a regular basis to normal people who may not be familiar with certain terminologies.
