Kavala padded down to the isolation lab, still in her nightshirt and with thick wool socks on her feet. Her hair was unbound and there was a fussy toddler sleeping on one hip. Tasival had promised to watch his little sister so that left Ralac to be wakeful and fretful all by himself. I’adel of course slept through the night almost immediately as an infant and still did well into her toddler years. A couple of the Imperial Watchers were asleep in the room with Tasi and I’a…. so Kavaka knew at least one of the dogs would fetch either herself or one of the kelvic twins if there were problems.
So the toddler snoozing on her hip was deposited on a long low couch in the lab, well away from the chemicals, where Kavala could keep an eye on him. She was doing two things today in the lab. First and foremost she was solving Ralac’s problem which was growing pains literally. He was getting so big so fast that she was unable to do much about his particular medical problem. And that problem was his bones were growing faster than his muscles were. Stretching was helping, but not nearly enough because when he went to bed he was fussy, restless, and when asked he’d explain his legs hurt. Looking at them with auristics, she could see why.
The Konti turned around and studied her son. No pain would go untreated, not with a healer of her caliber around. No child should suffer. So in order to help, she had to do two things. First her solution had to involve making something that treated pain. That was easy enough. The second thing was that it had to do something in its treatment that would speed along healing. Massage was a good follow up to help stretch the muscles and cease their pain. So in that line of thinking, she could make a natural philter in the form of a lotion or cream to massage into his skin. But at the same time she could also infuse it via philtering with her gnosis for solving aches and pains and that should be a lethal combination designed to kill his pain.
Kavala smiled. It was a perfect plan. Quickly she took out her notebook of recipes, turned to a blank page further in the back, and got out her pen and ink. She wrote “Ralac’s Muscle Relief Cream” on it. Then she quickly worked out a recipe, selecting from essential oils she had on hand and materials she had ready access too at The Sanctuary.
Kavala smiled at the finished recipe, noting that all her planning was done. It was exactly what she needed for Ralac and indeed was something she could sell to clients for their animals who had similar problems. It was time to take out the rest of her equipment and get going on the manufacture.

Ralac’s Muscle Relief Cream
Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup Coconut Oil
• 2 teaspoons Beeswax
• 5 drops Camphor oil
• 5 drops Peppermint oil
• 5 drops Eucalyptus oil
• 5 drops Clove Oil
Melt the coconut oil and beeswax together in a small cauldron over a small burner and stir until melted. Concentrate on tapping ones gnosis for pain relief and bruising/muscle aches and infuse the mixture with that power. Let the mixture cool a few minutes then add the essential oil drops.
Put in a container (or series of containers) and allow to cool completely. When it is completely cooled it will be a solid rather than liquid. If mixed properly the minute it hits warm skin…it will liquefy again due to the coconut oil. Thus making it perfect for massaging onto sore muscles and joints.
