Herbs, Spices and Medicinal Vegetables

The Herbal - - - d171: Random Herb

Appendices - - - DMG

There are hundreds of different vegetable flavorings and seasonings
which were or are reputed to have medicinal and/or magic properties. It is
not within the scope of this work to detail all of these herbs and spices,
particularly as regards their description, habitat, and the many uses
claimed for most. An alphabetical listing with one or two comments on
each is presented. The dedicated herbologist will have to pursue his or her
research in scholarly texts.

It is suggested that you use the above list as a guide to which herbs, spices, or vegetable you will require for various magical effects desired from potions,
scroll inks, and other magic items.
You may add to or delete from the list as you desire.
Reputed folk uses are not detailed with respect to magic in most cases, as this decision is the purview of the DM.

You may add to or delete from the list as you desire. <(DMG.221)>

aconite
(monkshood, wolfsbane, friar's cap, etc.) sedative/drives off werewolves
Q. What is the effect of wolvesbane on
lycanthropes?
A. The effects of wolvesbane in the Basic Game are clearly defined in the Dungeon Masters Rulebook, p33. In the Advanced Game, we suggest that wolvesbane has a similar effect upon were-creatures to that of garlic upon vampires -- the lycanthrope will recoil if the wolvesbane is presented boldly. It will not be driven off, but will hesitate for 1-4 melee rounds before attacking.

Somewhere at the back part of the 1979 DMG for ADandD 1st edit. is a list of natural herbs as medicine.
When I saw and read that info., I started using oregano for my teeth because it is a germicide and painkiller.
Pepper is good for sprains and I think something else, but I forgot.
Is that list of medicinal herbs true for real life?
If it is, you might want to try some of those natural remedies listed instead of unnatural medicine for your health.
I have noticed that doctors don't give all the info. that is cheapest and the most useful.
Your 1979 DMG for ADandD 1st edit. has helped me in real life and it might help you.
Just choose a herb that you think matches the symptoms that you have and that doesn't have any side effects that you can think of.

As I recall, the list of herbal remedies was taken from actual books listing such natural medicications.
In that vein I do plan to check into chelation therapy soon.

The effects of wolvesbane in the Basic Game are clearly defined in the Dungeon Masters Rulebook, p33. In the Advanced Game, we suggest that wolvesbane has a similar effect upon were-creatures to that of garlic upon vampires -- the lycanthrope will recoil if the wolvesbane is presented boldly. It will not be driven off, but will hesitate for 1-4 melee rounds before attacking. (Imagine #14)		Mountains. China, Greece, India, Japan.
