22/01/1469 Herbs' Benefits


Herbs' Benefits

The Sussex Council is currently organizing a herb gathering event. We talked to Dr. Jank also known as "Doctor of Dover" and we asked him benefits of herbs.

1) Thank you for taking the time with me, sir. First of all, could you introduce yourself?

I was born in the small village Launceston. My parents was working for the local landlord there as gardener and my mother as maid. Later we moved to the landlords Mansion in Barnstaple and as it often goes I was following my father in the garden everyday. From here my interest for flowers and plants started. Our landlord Mr. Barnett was very interested in botanic and I was his student from my young years. He learned me to write and the books was about botanic.

Mr. Barnett was studying at the University of Devon and litle me was following him as his servant. I was sitting endless hours hearing about flowers, herbs and their use and effects After some years I was alowwed to participate in the debates at the university and after many years I was a full skilled Physician. I started out as Doctor in a small cottage and soon I had many patients. Later I moved to Dover in Sussex.


2) As it is known, the Sussex Council is holding a herbs gathering event these days. So, what do herbs do? What are herbs' benefits?

Ohh the benefits of herbs are many and different from plant to plant. Some works against headaches other against fever etc. I think we in the nature can find herbs against any illness if we use these herbs correctly(If you take to much you can die).

For me the interesting part is to combine different herbs to a potion which can heal illness. Today we can heal 4 deceases. In the last years the Physician found out to make philters. Those philters gives you an effect in 24 hours, it could make you stronger in Strenght, Charisma, Intelligence and you recover faster, hehe yes, even recover hangovers.

Yes its true that the Sussex Council have a herbs gathering event. The original idea came from one of the best Physician in Sussex Rowan Ashenheart. How about we make alot of philters and put in stock and use them in time of war. Our troops could be stronger and could recover faster after a battle. So now we collect herbs in Sussex.


3) I have understood that some potions give soldiers strength and help heal their wounds. What herbs are needed to make this type of potion?

Ohh you think of philtre of vitebrawn which increase the persons strenght. For that filter you have to mix 30 Majoram potions.

To list up a very long list of receipes for all the Philter would be borring. You can read much
more on Medical College. (Cooperation of all physicians in the world)

Heres the complete list of Philters:
Up-and-at-em: 5 fewer days of unavailablility.
Disintoxication: Significantly reduces level of inebriation.
Vitabrawn: 50 bonus strenght points for 24 hours.
Pixie Dust: 50 bonus Intelligence points for 24 hours.
Freshstart: 50 bonus Charisma points for 24 hours.
Boulassenberg: Allow you to feel smooth very quickly.
Panacea: Increases your fitness.
Hightea: Increases by 1 point the percentage you get when learning at the University.


*Thank you very much Dr. Jank for the informative interview.
