Swaying Willow's interest in herbalism started when he was young, using his imagination to combine herbs and plants together he would eagerly try to feed his packmates when they got sick. He was a puppy- it was cute! His family endulged his interests, but not enough to risk themselves eating dandelions and thistles.
But with age comes skill and wisdom, and he was trained to identify and use plants that would actually help. He still likes to try new mixes though, to his packmates' concern.
