As a seasoned nurse, herbalist, and founder of a wellness brand, I’ve taken a deep dive…

Baldur's Gate - Halsin x Astarion Fanfic: 'Always there to Travel the Same Path which One Walks' -  Part 2 - 'Beginning of the First Path' (Act 1) (Spawn Astarion Route)

----------------------------------------

Notes

This chapter deals with introducing and bringing everyone together hence the title 'Beginning the First Path'

Astarion due to their Tadpole and other reasons has lost all memories of him and Halsin sharing time together so that will be explained in further chapters

Asdalen as also lost his memories in the process.

The new character mentioned by description will be explained in further chapters

Short chapter

------------------------------

Location – River Chionthar, the Ravaged Beach - Destroyed Nautiloid - Mid-Morning

Astarion's P.O.V:

Reassured by the Archdruid called Halsin, after he gives me a healing potion to speed up my Healing Factor – noting internally the potion has a faint aftertaste of honey and oak – I watch from the grassy verge where he’d told me to remain in such studious way, I gone to interject but a firm, stern glare and one hand being held up in front of my face effectively shut me up.

Damm, Archdruid, who does he think he is?

Though a benefit is the healing potion has acted more quickly than my healing factor.

Settling myself down on the grassy ledge above where the destroyed Nautiloid lays down below, I reach one hand into the travelling pack for the flask of wine and a cup to pour myself a glass – even though it may taste like ash to my tastebuds.

Another crackle of magic in the air nearly sets my hair standing on end, a large roaring sound of what sounds like a bear and finally, the sight of my ‘siblings’ escaping the ravaged beach area with their metaphorical tails tucked between their legs.

Bringing the cup of wine to my lips, I take a sip finding it’s not wine, but in fact it is blood mixed with a pinch of Nutmeg.

 How strange? Whoever left this traveling pack behind certainly knows about Vampires. Blood mixed with pinch of Nutmeg, could get addicted to this.

Relaxing on the grassy ledge, I see below from my vantage point the Archdruid Halsin is beginning to talk with the Barbarian female Tiefling, a Cleric – summarising from the way the half-elf acts around others – and the Wizard wearing robes of lilac seems to radiate strange, dangerous mystical energy around him.

Up on a long ridge on the other side, a sight of two figures coming down the hillside of it to the destroyed Nautiloid draws my attention away from the group below me.

The reason being one of them is dragging one of my ‘siblings’ Leon by his hair, with Dalyria trying to placate with a tall black man to let her ‘Brother’ free before he burns to crisp seeing already flakes of Leon’s skin are peeling off.

Typical, it had to be these two to be the ones left behind. Well, Astarion, you better head down and introduce yourself then.

----------------------------------

Location - Emerald Grove, Western Heartlands, West Faerun – After Mid-Morning

Asdalen’s P.O.V:

“Brother, are you alright? I was so worried when….”

“Listen, Archdruid Halsin, I apologize but…...I…Why are you calling me ‘Brother’?”

 The Archdruid Halsin begins to ask me, only to step back when I ask that question looking at me with his face going white as a sheet, a trembling hand coming up glowing with golden energy before exploding in a bunch of dead leaves and eyes starting to glisten with tears.

“I…Oakfather, why has this happened?......” He begins to say, only to mutter the rest of his sentence under his breath and beginning to pace back and forth until stops to look at me in such a way it makes my chest ache at the sight of it.

Is the reason he called me ‘Brother’ is because I remind him of someone else? Why does it feel right though when it calls me that. Are we related in some way?

Finding I don’t know what to say to him, I head over to where a Blacksmith is talking to Karlach – a female Barbarian Tiefling – about her Infernal Engine seeing the male sand-coloured Tiefling is thinking about something, his clawed hand stroking his chin in deep thought.

“I have an idea. It might work with some Infernal Iron.” The blacksmith tells her, reminding me of a piece of metal I’d picked up when exploring around the destroyed Nautiloid that reach into the traveling pack to get it out.

“Here. Will this do, Blacksmith?” I ask, holding it out to the sand coloured Tiefling who immediately takes it off my hands inspecting the piece of metal feeling Karlach, giving me a quick hug so she doesn’t burn me.

“Yes!!!? Thank you, I can work with this….Hang on…” the Blacksmith replies, turning to his anvil where placing on the metal on top reaches for the hammer heating up in the coal-fire to begin hammering it.

Sparks occasionally fly, a metallic ring echoing every-time he brings the hammer down to shape it – his muscles bulging with the effort, sweat forming and fierce concentration showing on his face – until stepping back to admire his handiwork.

Lesia, who’s been playing in the centre of the grove comes walking over to stand beside me along with someone else joining us: a Tiefling with light green-blue eyes, short-cut blue and black dyed hair and a silver looped-shaped earring and curved horns.

“Dammon, brother.” She says, making him turn his face followed by embracing the female Tiefling in his arms with “LITTLE SISTER!!?” reassuring Karlach, who’s expression had been briefly one of jealousy at the sight of the new Tiefling gives out a gentle sigh of relief at the fact the young Tiefling is Dammon’s sister.

----------------------------------------------

Location - Emerald Grove, Western Heartlands, West Faerun – Still Mid-Morning

Astarion’s P.O.V:

“I…...Archdruid, sorry to ask you of this….is there somewhere I can lay down?”

“Is your head hurting?”

Lifting my head up, I look at the Archdruid Halsin who turns slightly to face me at the top of the flight of stone-carved steps leading into the hidden areas of the Emerald Grove – the sleeping areas where most of the Druids would stay in during the heavy winter months that would hit West Faerun  - to look at me.

“Not really. It’s…just so can mull over what has transpired, darling.” I reply, a flirtatious tone forming in my voice and stepping myself closer to Halsin, who gives me a look he’s not amused by it.

Those beautiful, bold brown eyes ringed with gold showing a hint of displeasure, that it feels oddly fun to rile the Archdruid up this way.

“I think a rest would better suit you instead of flirting this way, Astarion Ancunin.” Halsin states to me, descending the stone-carved stone steps with no backward glance. His mistake, so descend the stone-carved steps to confront him.

How does this Archdruid know my full name!!!? I never told him!!! So how…!!!??

Slipping the dagger into my hand from my sleeve, nearly reaching him it’s the sudden sense of something that draws my attention away from him.

Curious, I stop in my pursuit of Archdruid Halsin to walk over to the area finding more stone-carved steps leading down to what must be another secret area.

Something about it though feels familiar – like I’ve been to the area at some point in my life, but I know I haven’t – placing a hand on the curved wall wondering should I descend into the bowels of Emerald Grove to figure out what is calling out to me.

Healthy spiced apple cider is a comforting and aromatic beverage perfect for autumn and winter gatherings. It harnesses the natural sweetness and flavor of apples, combined with the warm spices like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. These ingredients not only enhance the taste but also bring a wealth of health benefits that make spiced apple cider a preferable alternative to sugary sodas and artificially flavored drinks.

Preparing apple cider in a healthy way involves utilizing fresh apples and natural sweeteners, ensuring the drink remains low in added sugars while maximizing nutrients. Apples are known to be rich in antioxidants, which help combat free radicals and prevent cellular damage. Furthermore, they offer an excellent source of dietary fiber, promoting good digestive health.

The spices used in spiced apple cider aren't just for flavor; they contribute significantly to the drink’s healthful properties. Cinnamon, for instance, is known for its anti-inflammatory and blood-sugar-lowering effects, while cloves offer antibacterial properties. Nutmeg brings its own benefits, including promoting digestion and enhancing skin health. These warm spices can also stimulate the immune system, making spiced apple cider a functional beverage choice during the colder months when immunity might need a boost.

Another advantage of spiced apple cider is its warming qualities. Enjoying a hot cup of this cider can help to ward off the chill, creating a cozy atmosphere for any fall or winter gathering.

Exploring Coffee Additives: Enhancing Your Brew with Flavor and Health Benefits

Coffee, a beloved daily ritual for millions, is a versatile beverage that can be enjoyed in countless ways. While some prefer their coffee black, others enjoy experimenting with various additives to enhance the flavor, texture, and even health benefits of their brew. In this blog, we’ll explore popular coffee additives and how they can elevate your coffee experience.

1. Milk and Cream

Classic and Creamy: Adding milk or cream is perhaps the most common way to mellow the bold flavors of coffee. Dairy options like whole milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream create a rich and creamy texture, while non-dairy alternatives such as almond milk, oat milk, and coconut milk offer a lighter, plant-based option.

Nutritional Boost: Non-dairy milks often contain added vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy choice for those looking to reduce dairy intake.

2. Sweeteners

Sugar and Honey: Traditional sweeteners like sugar, brown sugar, and honey add sweetness to coffee, balancing its natural bitterness. For a more unique flavor, try raw or unrefined sugars, which add a subtle molasses note.

Natural Alternatives: For those seeking a healthier option, stevia, agave nectar, and maple syrup offer sweetness with lower glycemic impact, making them popular choices among health-conscious coffee drinkers.

3. Spices

Cinnamon: Sprinkling a bit of cinnamon into your coffee not only adds a warm, sweet flavor but also offers health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and blood sugar regulation.

Nutmeg and Cloves: For a festive twist, nutmeg and cloves add a spicy depth that pairs wonderfully with the natural flavors of coffee, especially during the holiday season.

Cardamom: A staple in Middle Eastern coffee traditions, cardamom imparts a citrusy, floral flavor while aiding digestion and providing antioxidant benefits.

4. Flavor Syrups and Extracts

Vanilla and Caramel Syrups: Popular in many café-style drinks, these syrups add a sweet, indulgent flavor to coffee, turning a simple brew into a dessert-like treat.

Natural Extracts: Vanilla extract, almond extract, and hazelnut extract are great for those who want to add flavor without the added sugar of syrups. A few drops go a long way in enhancing the aroma and taste of your coffee.

5. Butter and Oil

Bulletproof Coffee: Adding butter and coconut oil or MCT oil to coffee, known as Bulletproof Coffee, has gained popularity among those following keto and low-carb diets. This rich and creamy concoction is believed to provide sustained energy, mental clarity, and satiety throughout the morning.

Health Considerations: While this coffee style can be part of a balanced diet, it’s important to enjoy it in moderation due to its high calorie and fat content.

6. Protein and Collagen Powders

Protein-Packed Coffee: For fitness enthusiasts, adding a scoop of protein powder to your morning coffee can be a convenient way to fuel your workout. Opt for a flavor that complements your coffee, like chocolate or vanilla, for a smooth and satisfying drink.

Collagen Benefits: Collagen powder, which is tasteless and dissolves easily, can be added to coffee to support skin, hair, and joint health, making it a popular choice among those looking to enhance their beauty routine from the inside out.

7. Superfood Additives

Cacao: Rich in antioxidants and a natural mood enhancer, raw cacao powder adds a chocolatey flavor to your coffee, making it a delightful and healthy indulgence.

Turmeric: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric can be added to coffee for a golden-hued drink that’s both flavorful and beneficial to your health. Pair it with a pinch of black pepper to enhance absorption.

Mushroom Extracts: Adaptogenic mushrooms like chaga, reishi, and lion’s mane are becoming popular coffee additives for their potential health benefits, including immune support, stress reduction, and cognitive enhancement.

8. Alcoholic Additives

Coffee Cocktails: For a more adult twist, adding a splash of whiskey, rum, or liqueurs like Baileys or Kahlúa can turn your coffee into a delightful evening drink. These boozy additives are perfect for special occasions or a cozy night in.

Conclusion

The world of coffee additives offers endless possibilities to customize your cup of joe to your taste preferences and health goals. Whether you’re looking to sweeten, spice up, or boost the nutritional value of your coffee, there’s an additive out there for you. Experiment with different combinations to discover your perfect brew and enjoy the enhanced flavors and benefits these additions bring to your daily coffee ritual.

Ayurvedic Use of Nutmeg: The Spice That Heals

Nutmeg, known as Jaiphal in Ayurveda, is a spice with a rich history and deep significance in traditional Indian medicine. Renowned for its aromatic qualities and potent healing properties, nutmeg has been used for centuries to treat various ailments, improve digestion, and enhance overall wellness. This blog explores the Ayurvedic use of nutmeg, its benefits, and how to incorporate this versatile spice into your daily routine for optimal health.

What is Nutmeg?

Nutmeg is the seed of the fruit from the Myristica fragrans tree, native to the Spice Islands of Indonesia. The spice has a warm, slightly sweet flavor and is commonly used in cooking, baking, and traditional medicine. In Ayurveda, nutmeg is classified as a heating spice, meaning it is believed to increase internal warmth and stimulate the digestive fire, known as Agni.

The Ayurvedic Properties of Nutmeg

In Ayurveda, each herb and spice is understood through its Gunas (qualities), Rasas (tastes), Virya (potency), and Vipaka (post-digestive effect). Nutmeg is described as having the following properties:

Rasa (Taste): Sweet, Bitter, Astringent

Guna (Quality): Light, Dry, Sharp

Virya (Potency): Heating

Vipaka (Post-digestive Effect): Pungent

These properties make nutmeg particularly beneficial for balancing Vata and Kapha doshas, though it should be used with caution for those with a dominant Pitta dosha due to its heating nature.

Health Benefits of Nutmeg in Ayurveda

Nutmeg is a powerhouse of therapeutic benefits. Here’s how this spice contributes to overall health and wellness:

Digestive Aid: Nutmeg is highly effective in stimulating digestion. Its warming properties help kindle the digestive fire (Agni), making it useful for treating indigestion, bloating, and constipation. Nutmeg is often used in Ayurvedic formulations to promote digestive comfort and to alleviate discomfort related to Vata imbalances, such as gas and bloating.

Sleep Aid: Nutmeg is well-known for its sedative properties, making it a natural remedy for insomnia and sleep disorders. A pinch of nutmeg powder mixed with warm milk before bedtime is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy to promote sound sleep. This simple remedy is believed to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and induce a peaceful night's rest.

Pain Relief: Nutmeg's anti-inflammatory properties make it effective in relieving pain, especially in conditions like arthritis, muscle pain, and joint stiffness. It is often used in Ayurvedic massage oils to provide relief from pain and inflammation. The spice can be made into a paste and applied topically to areas of discomfort.

Oral Health: Nutmeg has antibacterial properties that are beneficial for oral health. It can help fight bad breath, prevent tooth decay, and reduce the risk of gum disease. Nutmeg oil is a common ingredient in Ayurvedic tooth powders and mouthwashes.

Respiratory Health: The warming and expectorant properties of nutmeg make it an excellent remedy for respiratory issues like colds, coughs, and bronchitis. Nutmeg helps clear mucus and relieve congestion, making it easier to breathe.

Mental Clarity: Nutmeg is considered a Medhya herb in Ayurveda, meaning it supports cognitive function and mental clarity. It is believed to enhance memory, reduce stress, and improve concentration. Nutmeg oil is sometimes used in aromatherapy to uplift mood and ease anxiety.

Skin Health: Nutmeg is beneficial for the skin, particularly in treating acne and blemishes. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help reduce the appearance of acne and promote a clearer complexion. Nutmeg can be mixed with honey or milk to create a soothing face mask.

How to Use Nutmeg in Your Daily Routine

Incorporating nutmeg into your daily routine is simple and can be done in several ways:

In Your Diet: Nutmeg can be added to a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, desserts, and beverages. A small pinch of nutmeg powder in your morning coffee or tea can add a delightful flavor and provide the health benefits associated with this spice.

As a Sleep Remedy: As mentioned earlier, mixing a pinch of nutmeg powder with warm milk before bedtime is a traditional remedy for promoting sleep. This soothing drink not only helps you sleep better but also aids digestion.

Topically for Skin Care: Nutmeg can be used in homemade face masks to treat acne and improve skin texture. Mix nutmeg powder with honey or milk to create a paste, apply it to your face, and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off.

Inhalation for Respiratory Relief: Add a few drops of nutmeg oil to a diffuser or a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam to relieve congestion and improve respiratory health.

In Massage Oils: Nutmeg oil can be added to carrier oils like coconut or sesame oil for a soothing massage. This is especially beneficial for relieving muscle and joint pain.

Nutmeg in Modern Ayurvedic Products

Today, the benefits of nutmeg are harnessed in various Ayurvedic products available in the market. These products incorporate nutmeg’s healing properties into formulations designed for different health concerns, from digestive aids to skin care treatments.

At SarabHerbs®, we offer a range of Ayurvedic products that utilize the therapeutic properties of nutmeg.

Before diving into the integration process, it’s essential to understand the basics of Ayurveda. Ayurveda focuses on maintaining balance between the body, mind, and spirit through natural methods, including diet, herbal remedies, and physical practices.

The three primary doshas are Vata (air and space), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (earth and water).

Morning Routine

Wake Up Early: According to Ayurvedic principles, waking up early, ideally before sunrise, aligns your body with the natural rhythms of the day. This practice helps you start your day with calmness and clarity.

Tongue Scraping: Upon waking, use a tongue scraper to remove toxins and bacteria from your tongue. This simple practice is believed to enhance taste and improve digestion.

Oil Pulling: Swish a tablespoon of sesame or coconut oil in your mouth for about 15–20 minutes. This practice helps detoxify the body and promotes oral health.

Meditation and Yoga: Spend a few minutes meditating and practicing yoga to center your mind and energize your body. In Abu Dhabi, numerous centers offer guided sessions, making it easy to incorporate these practices into your routine.

Spices and Herbs: Incorporate Ayurvedic spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger into your meals. These spices have numerous health benefits and enhance the flavor of your food.

Regular Meal Times: Eating at consistent times each day helps regulate your digestive system and maintain energy levels. Aim for three balanced meals, with lunch being the largest and most substantial.

Self-Care Practices

Abhyanga (Self-Massage): Perform a daily self-massage using warm herbal oils. This practice nourishes the skin, improves circulation, and calms the nervous system. For a more thorough experience, you can book an Ayurvedic Massage session at a wellness center in Abu Dhabi.

Herbal Supplements: Use herbal supplements prescribed by an Ayurvedic practitioner to support your health. These can help address specific concerns such as stress, digestion, or immunity.

Adequate Sleep: Ensure you get 7–8 hours of quality sleep each night. A regular sleep schedule and a calming bedtime routine, including avoiding screens and drinking warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg, can improve your sleep quality.

Evening Routine

Wind Down: In the evening, engage in relaxing activities such as reading, listening to calming music, or spending time with loved ones.

Light Dinner: Have a light, easy-to-digest dinner at least two hours before bedtime. This helps prevent indigestion and ensures a restful night’s sleep.

Reflect and Plan: Spend a few minutes reflecting on your day and setting intentions for the next day. This practice can provide mental clarity and a sense of purpose.

FAQs

Q: What is Jamaican Rum Punch made of?

A: Jamaican Rum Punch is a vibrant cocktail made from a mix of rum (often dark or white rum), fruit juice (like pineapple, orange, or lime), a sweetener (such as simple syrup or sugar), and sometimes a dash of spice (like nutmeg or cinnamon) for added flavor.

Q: Can I use any type of rum for Jamaican Rum Punch?

A: Yes, you can use any type of rum you prefer. Traditional recipes often call for Jamaican white rum for its potent flavor, but dark rum can be used for a deeper, more molasses-like taste. Some recipes even use a combination of both to create a more complex flavor profile.

Q: Is Mango Nectar the same as mango juice?

A: Mango nectar and mango juice are similar but not the same. Mango nectar is thicker and may contain added sugar or sweeteners, whereas mango juice is usually thinner and made from pure fruit. For cocktails, mango nectar provides a richer mango flavor and sweetness.

Q: Can I make this drink non-alcoholic?

Q: How can I adjust the sweetness of my Jamaican Rum Punch with Mango Nectar?

Q: What's the best way to serve this tropical drink?

A: This drink is best served over ice in a large glass, garnished with fresh mango slices, lime wheels, or a sprig of mint for an extra pop of color and freshness. For parties, consider serving it in a large punch bowl with a ladle so that guests can help themselves.

Q: Can I prepare Jamaican Rum Punch with Mango Nectar in advance?

Q: Are there any variations to this recipe I can try?

A: There are numerous variations you can try. Experiment with different fruit juices like passion fruit, guava, or even coconut water for different tropical tastes. You can also play with the ratios of rum and mango nectar to suit your flavor preferences or add other fruits for garnish or infused flavors.

Nutmeg is a spice that is traditionally found in a variety of cuisines. It has a distinct flavor and aroma that can be used to enhance the taste of just about any dish. Nutmeg is also known to possess medicinal benefits, many of which are due to the presence of certain compounds, like carbon, found in the spice. One of the lesser known benefits of nutmeg is that its cuts have carbonaceous properties, making it a great natural remedy for wound healing.

When a cut or wound is made, the damaged skin will often ooze a clear fluid. This is a sign of inflammation in the area and can lead to infection if the wound is not treated properly. Nutmeg cuts, however, contain carbon particles. These particles combine with the ooze from the wound to form a protective seal, preventing air and bacteria from entering the wound. This helps to heal the wound and eliminates the risk of infection.

In addition to providing a natural barrier for wound healing, the carbon particles in nutmeg cuts can also help to reduce inflammation and promote faster healing. By reducing the inflammation in the area, the healing process is expedited. This can help reduce the risk of infection and scarring, both of which are common complications of any wound.

The carbonaceous properties of nutmeg cuts also provide other benefits, such as relieving pain and itching at the wound site. The particles can act as a natural anesthetic, numbing the area and thus providing relief from discomfort. They can also reduce itchiness, which can help stop the spread of a wound-related infection.

Overall, nutmeg cuts can be an effective treatment for minor wounds. By providing a protective seal over the wound, as well as anti-inflammatory and pain relieve benefits, nutmeg cuts are a great option for wound care.
