 Herbalry is a critical need of both the Dragonhealing and the Healing Crafts. Many holders and cotholders will also have knowledge of the herbs of their area, especially if there is not a resident healer. Herbalry entails far more than simply knowing which herbs are poisonous. An herbalist on Pern would have an extensive knowledge of how and when to harvest the herbs, preparing them for use, the properties of each plant, as well as treatments for ailments, tissue damage, and miscellaneous problems. Specializing in herbalry is a choice open to both Dragonhealers and Healers. For an Herbalist, part of their responsibilities would include maintaining a stockroom in addition to collecting herbs and plants and preparing them. While not every healer specializes in herbalry, all healers and dragonhealers will have some background in the use of herbs, the depth of which depends on the rank and turns of study. This section contains a basic guide to herbalry on Pern from harvesting to herbal remedies. **Please note that I am not a doctor or any sort of medical professional.
