Dandelions are NOT just a weed(I hate that word, honestly). The leaves make a great green to add to a salad. All parts of the plant can be dried and used for tea(though you must be wary of roots grown in less-than-optimal soil). Dandelions are known for being high in nutrients, helping with cardiovascular health, and impoving your over-all immune health.

Sometimes it’s hard to read fanfic when you’re studying herbalism.. when they have the character preparing a tincture to use that same DAY!!?
Baby those dried herbs need to sit in that jar with high proof alcohol for at LEAST a month!
That’s why before the use of calendars ppl use to prepare their tinctures either on the new moon or full moon. A a full moon cycle is usually 28 days or so. And they would give the moon names so it’s easier to remember when/what month said tincture was bottled.
This is also why herbal medicine is prepare in small batches. You have to take your time preparing your bottles. Making sure everything is clean so you don’t end up with mold. Diluting your grain alcohol. Heckkk knowing when to pick your herbs for max potency! Drying your herbs! That takes a lot of time too!
I didn’t mean to rant lol

Since dragons blood resin comes from a species of tree that is threatened, I’m working on a recipe to mimic the aroma of it
It’s not perfect, but these ingredients in combination get pretty close, no matter if it’s a tincture, oil, tea, or candle
In order of most to least, though it can be changed to individual preferences
Vanilla
Star anise
Citrus (preferably blood orange or grapefruit)
Bay leaf
Pear
This list is done without specific correspondences in mind, and only meant to replace the aroma of dragons blood resin

How do you dry yours medicinal plants to preserve? Just let it dry by itself?
There's several ways I know!
If you're just simply drying it at home, the best way is to hang them, just tie a few of the same together and have them hanging in some sort of shade. They should not dry in direct sunlight, as this will make them lose their color and they'll deteriorate faster.
It's also recommended to dry the whole stem, leaves (and flowers if you have flowers) together, and then only to break them apart when you're storing them; apparently that makes all of the oils inside of the plant preserve better in it's dry state!
Other ways you can dry plants is to just set them on top of some clean cloth, with good spacing so they're not on top of each other, or you can set them on top of some newspaper. If I have a big amount of herbs to dry, I'll set them on top of a bedsheet, and then hang the bedsheet or put it somewhere in shade to dry.
The professional way to dry plants is to set them in a space with a dehumidifier; this way they'll look as good as fresh when they're dry, without losing any color! I've never tried that, I've only heard about it.
I've seen some people set the plants inside of the dehydrator; I've also never tried this, but I hear it makes them very crunchy and easy to crush into powder.
This is a trick specifically for humid areas; if your air is so humid you can't set something to dry, you can put the herbs in paper bags, again with good spacing, and the paper will suck out the moisture.
That's all of the stuff I know! I personally have been hanging them dry in my kitchen, and it's worked great. I noticed they dry faster if they're in the air, than on top of cloth/newspapers. Have fun drying plants!

Man, it is going to be weird when I start working more earnestly at leveling SAM after playing PLD for so long. Mostly positioning. Was a tank in WoW for AGES, then came to FFXIV and am tanking as PLD, so breaking that habit might be tough.
. . .
Or not considering I have off-tanked a lot.
But it's not the same thing...

Familiar with Spiral Rain?
I was doing some plant research which spiraled into witchy research which brought me here! I was curious if anyone has experience interacting with Spiral Rain and their company/blog and how it was. And also if anyone has seen their resources on their website, because it is EXTENSIVE! Pages of herbs and their uses and informative blog posts, especially for people like me who are still learning the basics. They seem wonderful, and have a shop where you can buy supplies as well, although I’m really only researching ATM.

Fascinating flora #1.
Dandelions
I’m going to start with my favorite. Every time I talk to someone about dandelions, they bring up a different facet of why this plant is amazing.
Their flowers support pollinators- dandelions have wide flat flowers with the pollen close to the outside. This means they can be pollinated by just about any pollinator species. Their leaves do an especially good job of supporting caterpillars before they pupate.
They’re a diuretic, and may be helpful to passing kidney stones.
They have so many nutrients. So many. Calcium, iron, potassium, vitamins a and c. Their flowers have antioxidant properties, the whole plant has anti inflammatory effects.
They may be bitter, but add a rich flavor profile when baked into a quiche or seared into a sauce along with spinach, or cooked in a stir fry. If you enjoy the bitterness, that’s valid, but if you don’t, there’s many ways to cook parts of this plant. The flowers are more sweet. Every single part of the plant is edible save for the seeds, and there’s so many recipes that can be found from herbalists, cooks, green witches, and really anyone who likes to cook with plants.
Their roots act like drills and break apart hard soil for other plants to grow. They bring up valuable resources from deep in the sediment, such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.
They reduce erosion- their roots can go down to fifteen feet. They’re pioneer plants, among the first to move in after a disaster such as a fire or flood.
Now, for the witchy parts.
Consuming this plant is not just healthy and nutritious, it raises your intuition, and aids in divination. The plant itself is frequently connected to divination.
The puffs are said to grant a wish if you blow on them and release the seeds.
Their flowers are a huge sun correspondence, their deep roots are a good representation of earth, and the seeds are connected to air and spirit.
Their roots are also a symbol of protection, good to carry with you or place on a windowsill.
