Some Plotties naturally possess therapeutic or healing properties. Depending on the plant these abilities can include: Relaxing, antidepressant, analgesic, antibiotic, antiviral, etc. For the most part, Plotties will be willing to share their properties with humans and other Plotties without hesitation, specially if their bond is strong.
A Plottie can use its medicinal properties simply by touching the affected area. The chemicals will be transferred into the recipient through their permeable skin. Feeling a change in temperature (hot or cold) in the area is common while the healing is in process.
Plotties use a lot of their energy when they use their therapeutic skills, so it's normal for them to feel exhausted afterwards. Because of this, it isn't recommended to use them more than once per day. Some Plotties may find it in their nature to want to help more than once but this could prove fatal to them.
For better results, it's very important for the Plottie to be in good health. A sick Plottie will not only be unable to use their properties efficiently, but it might die trying. Proper upkeep of their substrate, sleep and sun-bathing habits contribute to a Plottie's good health.
Plotties are not meant to be used as a main treatment for chronic or severe conditions as the exhaustion would kill them off in a matter of days. Using them occassionally or during emergencies is acceptable.
Warning: Some Plotties are toxic or could cause allergic reactions if you are hypersensitive to their chemicals. Some Plotties can also be very poisonous to other Plotties, humans and animals. Please handle toxic Plotties with care.
