Willow

there is no record to establish when plants were first used for medicinal purposes, the use of plants as healing agents as well as clays and soils is ancient. Dioscourides, a Greek physician of the Roman army, prescribed extracts of willow bark for joint pain.

coming, Indy was getting older and deserved to finally retire from the show ring. But what was I going to do? I couldn’t afford my own horse, there weren’t any horses advanced enough for me to ride, let alone learn anything from. Then there was Willow. Willow was a gorgeous, 13 year old mare with a dark, polished coat and statuesque figure; but she had a few “minor” corks.

Over the next couple days, Jayson and Willow took it easy. They walked a majority of the way to save their energy for when they would have to pass through the city. They would reach Tiger City in only a couple hours now and the pair had both come up with different tactics on how to pass through with as little detection as possible. “Are you feeling okay, WIllow? You’ve barely said a word in the last day or so.” Jasyon said while glancing over at her. He studied her face for a bit, pieces of her
