Today's two new drawings are of Healer Fairies.
Addia the Healer Fairy gathering Watercress
This is Addia a kind and beautiful Healer Fairy. The Fairies know of many medicinal and nutritional uses of watercress so she is out gathering some. She prepares it for soups, salads, smoothies, sandwiches, and even as a garnish.
Addia also knows the medicinal properties of watercress which are lowering blood pressure, lowering glucose levels. Watercress has also been used to treat coughing and bronchitis. Fairy Healers know that watercress is loaded with antioxidants and therefore they use it to treat conditions like arthritis. Although Faires rarely get degenerative diseases like arthritis, they often change into mortal form and in disguise work as healers, herbologists, nurses, doctors, etc. in the mortal world.
Fairies can change size up to and even surpass mortal size. Their natural height is around 5 inches or so. This is what they do to be in disguise among us mortals. They also can magically internalize their wings so they truly LOOK mortal - albiet very beautiful or handsome mortal. But they are still a Fairy. And yes, there are Male Fairies.
I need to add that Addia is in mortal size to gather watercress. She is wading in the stream. She can fly from site to site where the watercress is growing thick and there she will harvest SOME of it. She is careful to not overharvest so that the plant can stay alive and continue to produce.
Watercress is found in many parts of the world. It usually grows in shallow streams but it has been to also grow in deeper waters. Some people put it in their backyard ponds for it to oxygenate the water for fish.
Talinee the Healer Fairy in a Willow Tree
This Fairy is named Talinee. She is also a Healer Fairy who is also beautiful yet kind and caring. True beauty is on the inside. AND healers - in the mortal world or in the Fairy Realm tend to be kind, caring, and very intelligent.
Fairies are rather closely related to Elves so Talinee has an Elven symbol on her tunic. It is the letter "T" for Talinee - written in Elvish.
Talinee knows that willow trees are a source of some medicines. Aspirin has a common ingredient, salacin, that is found in willow bark. The salicin in willow bark turns into salicylic acid in the body... and THAT is the main therapeutic ingredient in aspirin, So Fairies know that they can use willow bark to treat pain, fever, thin blood, etc. Blood thinning - not bloodletting - is helpful to prevent strokes or heart attacks.
