The Lore: She is a rugged mountain dweller that thrives in high altitudes where the air is thin. She has a reputation for being the first responder of the plant world because she specializes in physical trauma. She enters the scene specifically to get blood moving when it has pooled and stagnated under the skin.
The Gifts: High concentrations of sesquiterpene lactones, which are natural compounds that reduce swelling.
The Magic: Known to stimulate white blood cell activity to help the body process congested blood (bruises) faster. She acts as a topical anti-inflammatory that signals the nerves to stop guarding an injured area so the muscles can relax.
The Ritual: Apply a pre-made gel or massage an oil infused with her flowers directly onto the skin. She is an external-only friend and should never be used on broken skin. Apply strictly on bumps and aches that live beneath the surface.
A Companion For: Those dealing with bruises, sprains, or swelling from the physical tumbles of life or after heavy activity. Anyone recovering from physical shock or surgery who needs to clear inflammation from their tissues.
The Spell:
A golden star from the mountain peak,
To find the spots where the bones are weak.
Sweep out the blue and the purple stain,
To mend the impact and heal the pain.
