Objectives
Obtain 11 Mao-Willows.
[Mao-Willow] x11
Description
A dry bandage doesn't do much good, other than maybe keeping bugs out of the wound. In some camps, that's the best you can hope for.
Not in my camp, though.
I prefer to make a paste from whatever soothing herbs I can find, and layer that between bandages. The most soothing herbs I've been able to find in the field are the Mao-Willows from the fields in the northeast. If you run into any, bring them back.

Notes
Pick up 
[25-35] Natural Antiseptic and [25-35] The Field Armorer before heading out. Don't focus on these quests to the exclusion of others—they're long-term gathering quests. The main chain starts with [25-35] The Motives of the Mantid and [25-35] Set the Mantid Back from Tai Ho.
Head northeast to the Underbough to start killing mushan and tigers and looing Mao-Willows. Saliva drops in units of 56-79. Shell fragments drop in quantities of 8-12, and willows are gathered individually.
