Bush LeavesBush Leaf, or Bush Leaves, Dreaming is inherited from Abies fathers side. The bush leaf grows in a swamp near sandhills close to the Utopia region, in Abies grandfathers country, and is valued for its healing properties. The leaves are used to treat many ailments, including colds, headaches, and sores. They can be made into a paste and rubbed onto the affected area or mixed with water and drunk as a remedy.
