"You know, you never can have enough Healing Herbs. Would you like another?"
Shopkeeper, Shining Wisdom

"Basic botany knowledge could save your life someday."
Claudette Morel, Dead by Daylight

Now sank she weeping at the side
of Beren, and sought to stem the tide
of welling blood that flowed there fast.
The raiment from his breast she cast;
from shoulder plucked the arrow keen;
his wound with tears she washed it clean.
Then Huan came and bore a leaf,
of all the herbs of healing chief,
that evergreen in woodland glade
there grew with broad and hoary blade.
The powers of all grasses Huan knew,
who wide did forest-paths pursue.
Therewith the smart he swift allayed,
while LĂșthien murmuring in the shade
the staunching song that Elvish wives
long years had sung in those sad lives
of war and weapons, wove o'er him.

He found him still unconscious where he had fallen, and weak with loss of blood. Gently he lifted him up and carried him across the valley to the foot of the range of hills. Here he cut a shelter within a thick clump of bushes, and made a bed of branches and laid Konyek upon it. Then he hurried away to look for certain roots, and the bark of the cassia tree. When he returned, he made fire, and when the twigs he had cut were burning, he poured a little of his precious water from a gourd, and boiled the roots of the plants in it. Then he bathed Konyek's wound and covered it with the healing leaves. Night fell, and he waited anxiously by his side, for he saw that the boy was very sick.
