She can make her own root medicines into salves.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The term herbalist and herbalism tend to conjure up new-age images of a middle-aged woman with white hair in a small shop offering a distraught customer a cup of steaming chamomile tea. (With Enya playing in the background.) Ms. Pino shatters that image. She can make her own root medicines into salves, creams, infusions, tinctures, vinegars, steams, and a dozen other concoctions each one specific to a client’s needs.

This skill was acquired after a ten-year apprenticeship. Only one other person has successfully completed an apprenticeship program at the herbal school she trained at.
