Medicine and herbs have been used by most tribes throughout both Pyrrhia and Pantala.

Known Medicine and Herbs

  • Swordleaf Root helps with headaches,[1] as Thorn took it herself.
  • Brightsting cactus juice heals the venom of SandWing tail barbs.[2]
  • Kinkajou took smokeberries while she had a wing injury. She stated that these berries gave her the weirdest hallucinations.[3]
  • A RainWing medic was putting moss and cobwebs on a shelf.[4]
  • Cricket uses a plant stimulant to unfreeze Swordtail after he is paralyzed by a HiveWing nerve toxin.[5] It was light green, which Blue describes as the same color as grass[6] and was turned into emerald steam with flamesilk from a lamp, then inhaled by Swordtail. It had some unusual side effects, such as making him stronger, faster, crazier, and much more reckless.[7] It also turned his eyes and silk emerald green.[8]
  • Sundew uses a plant that induces sleep.[9] She had Cricket use it on some guards.
  • When the Librarian is bitten by a bullet ant, Sundew gives her a few dark green leaves and tells her to chew them up and put them on the sting area, which eases the pain and makes her tongue feel really weird.[10]
  • Sundew has a bundle of moss that she says can "soak up an entire pond."[11]
  • Sundew has some plants that are described as "shiny red, mottled with yellow streaks and curved in around itself so there was a hollow in the middle and a point at one end." Sundew tells Cricket to crush it under Swordtail's nose. When she does, it emits a horrible smell that made her eyes water. It woke Swordtail up.[12] These were later identified as "Corpse Flowers."[13]

Other Examples

  • Peril used her firescales to burn the venom of a dragonbite viper out of Clay's leg.
  • RainWing venom from related RainWings cancels each other out, turning the venom into a harmless gloppy black mess.
  • Tranquilizer darts are used to keep patients sleeping. The RainWings say that it comes from a certain frog, and lasts for a few hours.
  • When Qibli was hit by frostbreath in the arm when fighting with Winter, Thorn calls for water and hot coals, evidently to make warm water to slowly melt the frost off.
  • On Pantala, Queen Wasp used the breath of evil to mind control the HiveWings and now some SilkWings and LeafWings.
  • The so-called "Heart of Salvation" was thought to be the cure to the othermind, but was revealed to be the breath of evil when Sundew and Mandrake attempt to grow more of it.[14]

Enchanted Objects

  • Diamond's five narwhal horns that heal frostbreath wounds.[15]
  • Turtle's river rock that heals surface wounds.
  • Darkstalker enchanted a flower to heal Flame's face[16] and a stalactite to heal Stonemover.[17] These enchantments were not item-dependent.
  • Both Darkstalker and Turtle enchanted their scales to be invulnerable to attack. However, Turtle's enchanting of his scales was an accident.
  • Anemone enchanted Kinkajou's skyfire rock to heal her (along with a love spell).[18]

Known Hospitals and Medical Centers

  • The RainWing village has a hospital "healer hut" where the Dragonets of destiny took Webs for treatment. It was mentioned that the healers were great at healing scratches from tree gliding and other rainforest-related ailments, but they could not figure out how to heal Webs.
  • In Possibility, Winter, Moon, Qibli, and Turtle take Kinkajou to a medic when Shapeshifter severely injures her. The medics are a MudWing named Mayfly and a SandWing named Meerkat, and it is said that they are the best in Possibility.
  • When Luna starts feeling sick because of her metamorphosis, Blue asks if she wants to go to the doctor, implying that there is a hospital in Cicada Hive.[19]
  • Queen Ruby turned the arena of the sky palace into a hospital particularly for soldiers who were hurt in the War of SandWing Succession.[20]
  • Jade Mountain Academy is known to teach Healing and Herbs.
