Bellows root

Bellows root was a common forest plant that possessed emetic properties used in medicine, found in the Wood of Sharp Teeth and the Western Heartlands.

Description
Bellows root could be crushed and drank in a tea form in order to provoke vomiting in the imbiber, human and dragon alike. Bellows root looked similar to another plant – maiden's milk, that possessed antitussive properties.

History
Long before the, bellows root became a part of history when the logging camp of Hornhollow at the edge of Wood of Sharp Teeth was visited by a senile red dragon Craum Straug, whose dire caught lit the settlement ablaze. A traveling minstrel, Aznee Fraystrings, was tasked with removing the dragon and thought that he could prepare maiden's milk tea to help the wyrm like it did help his elderly uncle once. Aznee, however, made a mistake and made a bellows root tea instead, causing the dragon to vomit the tea out along with his draconic flame breath, incinerating the minstrel instantly. This vomiting fit eventually killed the geriatric dragon.
