OMB can be used to fight infection, inflammation, and fever.

The girl was bothered. It didn't affect Stryx much; she made note of the name for the future but kept her head bowed towards the herbs she'd brought, waiting until the patient was closer. Then she was looking over the neck wound as described and, seeing the cut of it and the way the fur matted with the water, gave a little nod of her chin.

It pleased her to be of use. There wasn't a change to the expression on Stryx's perpetually sour face, though. She gathered some of what she'd brought and lay it close to where Arielle now situated herself. Suppose now is the first lesson. She remarks, dipping the withered old man's beard in to a depression of melting snow, just enough to weaken the fine white of the lichen.

This stuff - this beard plant, you can find it all over the woods. Its more green when fresh but you don't want to use it until after, when its come off the tree in clumps. By the time she'd finished explaining this, the mess of beard was soaked through enough to manipulate. Stryx hoisted it, cold and dripping and likely smelling a bit musty, to the wound with her teeth and applied some pressure.

She couldn't talk after, giving Arielle time to adjust to the sensation or ask questions - or, just as valid, make note of Stryx' poor bedside manner.
