Honey is particularly good at at lowering swelling in wounds and can be used to prevent some infections. Might I ask why?

[justashotaway]

Byerly did not know.

How does it do that?

[indissection]

I’m uncertain. It has medicinal properties, the same as elfroot and other such things. Why was Byerly talking of honey?

[justashotaway]

Riftwatch has been given honey. He offered suggestions for using it.

Does jam do similar things to wounds?

[indissection]

That does sound like him. Jam would likely not - it would be too sugary and may cause problems, plus whatever else may have put in during the making. You can’t be certain of what was used to make it.

[justashotaway]

But honey is also sweet.

[indissection]

But honey can be taken purely. Jam cannot.

[justashotaway]

What other things can be put in wounds? Can berries?

[indissection]

Some, I’d imagine. It depends on the kind of wound.

[justashotaway]

But how do you know?

[indissection]

Reading and practice.
