'The big question of course – what was going on? I was certain my gallbladder was ruptured where the buckle had forced its way, but what about my liver? Was I slowly hemorrhaging or was it just bile? 

After binding myself tightly I went to fetch herbs for bleeding and “damp” conditions. I needed strong astringents and hemostats. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) was past its prime since it had already flowered but I took it anyway. I always kept part of my nettle patch cut back to prevent flowering so there was plenty of quality material .
