Mindwort

The yellow flowers of this plant are easy to spot from afar. When used in infusions and powders, it bolsters mental health, so it's consumption is recommended to the anxious and the restless.

Red poppy

The milk extracted from the poppy seed pods is a well known drug. It's perhaps the cheapest and the most effective ingredient for painkilling concoctions, though it has to be used with extreme care - poppy juice can be deadly in large quantities.

Thyme

In some parts of Aldor this herb is also known as pine pepper. When combined with appropriate ingredients, this plant helps with shortness of breath, muscle pains, and recovering stamina.

Henbane

Henbane is terribly poisonous, which is hinted at by the unpleasant smell of its flowers. The seeds are particularly dangerous: consuming them may lead to an excruciating death at worst, or to vomit, tremors, and seizures - at best. Henbane is to be avoided, unless you are an experienced healer who can measure a safe dose usable for treating, among other things, a toothache.

Fleawort

This weed grows in the fields, villages, roadsides, and many other places. Despite being so widespread, it can be used in quite a number of ways. Even peasant children are aware of its healing properties, applying its leaves to small wounds and bruises at every opportunity.
