When prepared properly with willow bark, the resulting mixture is known to ease pain and even speed the natural healing of minor wounds.

This has allowed apothecaries and herbalists in the region around the Bloombriar forest to ingratiate themselves with a wider community, as well as make them notably more wealthy.

Numbskin Tonic

Recently, less-reputable alchemists have uncovered a new combination of herbs that further increase the painkilling properties of Lifebloom potions. When ingested these numbskin tonics allow imbibers to ignore even the most grievous injuries. This use is seen by many as a bastardization of the curative lifebloom potions, but has done little to stop the spread of the new tonic on the black market.
