Milk Moss
There is a quite useful plant that comes from the Wilds called Milk Moss. It is used by the healers of the Vaitis Elves to create remarkable poultices that can heal nearly any wound short of death.

Uses, Products & Exploitation
If the Healers and Druids would study its properties perhaps they could reverse engineer the way that it works, but they believe nature is too sacred and the Moss is a gift to be used not something to be exploited. If you find yourself among the Vaitis, and recieve a Milk Moss poultice count yourself very lucky indeed.As it is only used for the most grievous of wounds, it is rarely used more than once on a single person so even the effects of multiple uses is unknown. Maybe these effects are recorded somewhere in the records of the Elven Healers but as far as anyone else knows it is perfectly safe.
Ooh, I like this. Whilst it's short, it gets across what you need it to. I might suggest splitting that quote up, though - you could move part of it into a second quote below the Vignette, perhaps? This would aid the readability and make it stand out morning. The milk moss is actually pretty ominous, too. If it's so linked to decay, how does it manage to heal? Do the druids and witches perhaps know something about it that they're not sharing? What would happen if someone were to use milk moss poultices for an extended period of time, perhaps for a mortal wound that festers with curses - would the healing properties begin to reverse? Another question: what's been done to try and figure out why it doesn't consume flesh/kill people?

I moved the quote around, hopefully it's a bit more readable? Also, I think it's exactly the knowledge of its properties that the Druids and Healers are keeping hidden. They won't allow others to study it and won't reveal what studies they may have done themselves. I tried to make that a little more clear this time through.
