To research a medicine requires that you have all the required ingredients for a particular medicine (noted in the table below) and a Quern-stone to investigate it in. Any medical ingredient can be investigated to learn a medicine recipe however since some ingredients can be used in more than one recipe, to avoid complication in determining which medicine will be investigated use the following to guarantee the resulting medicine:

• Poppy Flower - Injury Medicine
• Ginger Root - Food Poisoning Medicine
• Aloe Leaf - Burn Medicine
• Echinacea Flower - Virus Medicine

When the first medicine is successfully investigated the tribe will have the Medicine Skill.
