Medicinal Alchemy

The most prominent form of healthcare in Alwaus, medicinal forms of alchemy are typically offered in the forms of potions or tonics with the aim to assist and bolster the body's natural recovery systems against injury, infection, and disease. Offered by alchemists and unregulated apothecaries alike, the medicine offered by the products offered in this shops make those that can procure them the most valuable and well-respected me members of most communities. King, Lord, and Peasant alike would do well to speak politely to their local healer, least they find themselves in dire need of their assistance in the near future.
A base level of medicinal alchemy can be expected in any corner of Alwaus, with most cultures having some level of rudimentary medicine available to them. A skilled forester is even able to gather the appropriate flora from the local wilderness, effectively ensuring some for of treatment is available anywhere. Of course there is a significant difference between a trailmade poultice of mashed mushroom and elfroot than a set of properly distilled Health Elixir.
The process of identifying the medicinal benefits of alchemical flora comes to most cultures as naturally as any foraging skills, while mainstream alchemist and apothecary shops have a more structured and collaborative approach to the medicinal fields. New discoveries are either treated with excitement or suspicion - varying largely on the reputation of the person or group who announces the discovery. This gives the apothecary community a rather disjointed connection across the continent of Alwaus with some new tonics and potions spreading to all Thirteen Kingdoms with a single year, while other discoveries remain isolated in local communities; regulated to a "local cure".

Utility

The benefits of medicinal alchemy cannot be overstated. Beyond assisting the body's natural recovery for cuts, bruises, and sprains - the medical poultices and tonics can provide a level of healing and recovery that rivals that magical recovery offered by some forms of spellcasting. An army without Herbs of Healing is useless in prolonged conflicts, as their forces will quickly begin to falter to infection and Bloodrot. 
The benefits extend beyond military application of course, with the day to day injuries inflicted by harsh agrarian and industrial lifestyles often leaving workers injured for weeks or even moths without the medical treatment offered by local alchemists and apothecaries.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing is based on the fundamental applications of alchemy with the specifics of each process varying based on the receipt for each individual potion or tonic.
