❁ Tinctures/Concoctions
Quote:A variety of alchemical mixtures for various medical uses, or more if you are creative. Upon inquiry they can provide much more, for those that know what they want. Custom orders, solutions to problems... It may take a while for them to puzzle it out and provide something for your ailment.
. ♢ Bloodmead
Potently sweet mead using blood (of what origin they will not say), preserved by alcohol from fermented honey. Tastes of copper, sickly sweet cane, and a bitter finish from a plant venom used to preserve the blood and prevent it from coagulating into a sludge. Palatable to undead, deadly to humans, and varying levels of consumable for everyone else. Without their own distribution centre, it is sold only by the barrel. Cloudy brown in colour.
♢ Bloodletting Tincture
Made by carefully diluting "snake" (allegedly) venom to (mostly) nonlethal levels. Used to treat blood clots, in the brain, the heart, or major arteries. Easily deadly if used incorrectly.
♢ Blood Coagulate
A mineral and biological calcine. Thickens the blood, to be used VERY sparingly in those that have trouble clotting. Often thickened into a paste to use on bandages, it can stem bleeding.
♢ Wolfsbane Dilute
Diluted to less than a thousandth, it's meant to be mixed with drugs, analgesics, or anaesthetics. It counteracts the high tolerance of therianthropes by weakening their natural healing factor, making the drugs more effective. The dose is very particular, and if not perfectly measured can knock a lycan on their ass.
♢ Fungal Decay
An agent that kickstarts decay in biological matter, plant or flesh. Useful for accelerating composts, or other less savory uses.
♢ Henna
A thick brown paste that requires quick use before it dries out. Used for mehndi, it dyes the skin red to brown depending on how long it is applied, and can also be similarly used to dye fur and hair. If the doctor likes you enough, they may even take commissions on designs.
♢ Theriac
AKA Venice Treacle, an electuary, salve or inhalant; the doctor rarely gives their exact formulation out, but some can discern the scents of cinnamon, myrrh, turpentine, nutmeg, and sweet honey. At the very least.

❁ Ingredients/Reagents
♢ The physician does their own collecting and harvesting, when they find the time. They will take requests for reagents, if they are confident they can obtain it, either themself or through one of their connections.
♢ Herbs, fungi, offal, available dried, preserved, pickled or cured.

❁ Hand-Carved Pipes
♢ The physician likes to keep their hands busy. On top of being a more than competent surgeon, capable of very minute, fine-detail work, they further hone their dexterity by (among other things) whittling. This often takes the form of small carvings of figures, but more often they make pipes, which they sell alongside their own unique smoking blends -
