BOTANY BOOK
~ About Medical Herbs ~

As you may know, there are many plants that have medical effects. Since ancient times, humans have been healing wounds and diseases using various plants.

In this book, we're going to sample three herbs that grow around the Raccoon mountains and give their outlines as examples of those plants with medical properties.

Each herb has different colors and different effects as medical plants: the green one recovers physical strength, the blue one neutralizes natural toxins, while the red herb does not have any effect by itself. The red herb is only effective when it is mixed with other herbs.

For example, if you mix this herb with the herb that recovers physical strength, the recovery effect will be tripled. By adjusting the amount and experimenting with these three herbs, you can create various kinds of medicines but I'll leave the details in your hands because that's the best way to acquire true knowledge.

～薬効をもつ植物について～

人類は太古から様々な植物を用い、傷や病を癒してきた。
本書ではこの薬効を持つ植物の例としてアークレイ山地周辺に自生する三つのハーブを取り上げ、その概要を述べたいと思う。
アークレイ山地周辺に自生するハーブは、緑色、青色、そして赤色のものと、三つの種類が存在し、それぞれに異なる薬草としての効用がある。
緑色のものは、人の体力を回復させ、青色のものは、動物等から受けた毒を消す事ができるといった具合だ。
但し、例外的に、赤色のものは、単独で用いても何ら効果を生み出さない。
薬草は古くから調合する事で、様々な効果を発揮してきた。
例えば、緑のもの同士の調合はわずかだが、回復の効果が上がる事が確認されている。
もしかしたら赤色のハーブも調合で何らかの効能が表れるかもしれない･･･。
