This useful medicinal plant, if properly prepared, promotes general healing from a variety of injuries in a manner similar to deep well water. Though somewhat inferior to deep well water in terms of efficacy, the roots of certain species of gum-barked ash trees maintain their potency for many months, a distinct advantage over healing water, which loses its healing properties within hours after being extracted from the ground. In addition, the practicality of digging a well in the deepest wilderness tends to be questionable at best. Though many Arvian plants tap into the world’s magic energy, these particular species store said energy more stably within their root system. As heat degrades the medicinal effects, best results are obtained by brewing roots into a cold tea. Though in non-critical situations, the slight loss in efficacy is compensated by the superior flavor served hot.
