PEP Natural Medicine - Straw Badge

Please post approval requests here for the Straw badge in the Natural Medicine aspect.

Hello everyone!  As I'm the first to complete the Straw Badge, I thought I would post here for others to use as a reference:

I completed the requirements for the Sand Badge in Natural Medicine under the original rules(journal, 1 harvest(dry & store), and 5 other concoctions).  I then completed the requirements for the Straw Badge Posted Apr 11, 2022, in the Natural Medicine Badge Thread.

You can check out my PEP2 Adventure Log or my personal profile.  The list is long so I've not copied it here but instead listed the quantities of straw BBs completed and those that were also completed at the sand level:

10 Quinn BBs
13 Harvest, Dry, & Store + 1 @ sand
8 Infusions (water) + 1 @ sand
4 Decoctions + 1 @ sand
3 Vinegar Infusions + 1 @ sand
5 Tinctures
5 Salves +1 @ sand
3 Syrups + 1 @ sand
7 Oil Infusions
3 Poultices

Hi! I'm hoping to do most or all of PEP 2 this year and I was wondering about the '40 items from sand list' part. It seems like a lot of work to submit all 40 herbal preparation projects in separate threads - would it be acceptable to collect them in a public access google doc and then submit that once you're done, as long as your pictures/descriptions still meet the requirements?

So glad you have set a goal.  You can do as you describe but to receive PEP badges and badge bits you MUST submit them one by one on the appropriate thread.

Is there anything on the Quinn list that would apply to helping someone get rid of a scar? I have a calendula salve that I am going to help a friend with.
