Mending Lotus

The Flota'salki, or Mending Lotus is a highly sout after medicinal plant and the main export of the Anah'shii farmers. It is well known for the root of the Lotus to be able to effectively seal and close even large wounds. The plant is very valuable, being a quick and portable way to heal wounds without proper stitching, like in battles.

Use

The Mending Lotus Root is known worldwide for the property of healing wounds, even large ones. The root is ground up into a gel, that when it is applied to a cut or incision, will close the wound and seal it from outside. The first large utilisation of this plant was by the Kiem'Sai, Anah'shii Sword Monks, as a quick and effective way to heal from common sword wounds. The gel would be applied to the cut and it would heal in less than a day, allowing the monks to continue their training. As soon as the knowledge of the Gel spread to Preya, they immediately began importing it for use in their army, and helped the Anah'shii Mending Lotus farmers establish a lucrative trade system, in exchange for a discount on the root.

Farming

The Mending Lotus is carefully grown and harvested by the native farmers. The flower can be natively found in the small deep pools of the Anah'shii mountains and foothills, and that is where the farmers have their farms based. The farmer enters the pond, diving down and carefully slices off the specific amount of root. If the root is preserved enough, it will regrow through its life cycle. The root is then ground up, combined with a geling agent, and then stored, to be sold and shipped out.
