Abby raises her hand. "Muggle herbalist use Dodder as a laxitive. I believe the gillyweed would be useful in a laxitive potion. It would be used dried, and would be chopped fine before adding to the potion. The chopped dodder should also be mixed with honey before being added. The gillyweed would also be useful in a potion for hip problems such as what Professor Kazimeriz is currently experiencing. In that case, I believe the gillyweed should be fresh not dried, added to the potion whole and allowed to simmer in it. The Gillyweed would then be removed before the potion is bottled. The potion should be good to help with inflamation of the sciatica nerve and the joint as well. In the case of joint inflamation Gillyweed is also added in a salve that is rubbed on the inflicted area. In that case, the gillyweed is rough chopped before being added to the potion. The gillyweed also help with absorbing the excess water from the potion helping it to turn into a salve."
