It works on a twofold level. It allows the body to become balanced again and offers a note of focus to counter the uncertainty of frenzy's haze. Calming the nerves from overstimulation, lowering heart rate, relaxing muscles, and offering clearer perception on the world.
In a less tangible way, it also soothes the spirit, as it reflects the intended effects onto one's companion so that it is of mutual benefit, and calming them down as well while it offers comfort to one's own soul. Think of it as a sedative crafted to avoid drowsiness, one that brings the self back to center. The process, ingredients, and interactions I know from what my own companion has told and taught me, as well as many rounds of trials to achieve where we are now.
There is also a neighbor that was cultivated to ward off the cursed energy effects that uses it as a base, and that one was a collaboration between me and two others. Both are perfectly safe, as I have ingested them both and still write to you now.
I see. So most of what you know is through self-testing and what your youkai knows, huh? And it sounds like it's mostly something that affects the brain. Psychosomatic?
[He was pretty sure that was the right word.]
And your able to pretty closely communicate with Hibiki these days?
Psychological. Psychosomatic means that the symptoms only exist in your head. But regardless, that's not the case, as it could not work without the physical components attached. It has to work in tandem with the body and spirit alike.
It cured those out of their mind from the Lake Spirit's fury, I saw it work time and again, even for the most bloodthirsty.
[Wujiu would have killed her if she hadn't shoved the antidote into him. this she knows.]
As to my relationship with Hibiki, we are as close as we ever have been. They have been a boon in adjusting to this society, and we exist in a harmony.
Just my circumstance is a bit of a strange one. It's why I asked about Hibiki. Do you mind asking them if they think it might have any different sort of effect on a guy like me?
"The effects may actually be extended for him, since less of himself fights for harmony with the other." So they said verbatim. Do note that Hibiki said "may", and it is no guarantee. Ultimately, this is a hypothesis, as everyone reacts to the same medicine differently - most differences are just too minute to notice.
We'll have to do some tests - mainly, you trying different versions of the medicine so I can ensure there are no side effects. I always like to be sure I'm giving the safest possible version out.
[He felt his own hesitation with that. The instinctual part of himself that knew better than to get too close to a doctor. The innate fear that his world had imbedded in him that if people found out about him he would be despised, ostracized, or worse.
He had spent too long keeping things on the down-low for his own self-preservation.
But this was important too. The effect of the aura felt light, just as they always had, but with all he had endured over the past year he knew better than to risk it.
He didn't want to hurt people that didn't deserve to be hurt.]
They shouldn't. All it will be is me making a few versions of the medicine for you, and you tell me how you feel and if you like or dislike them. Very simple.

Bastard's under some strange idea that he think'd do me some good though.
But before that I'm more curious about how it works.

Damn.
Wrong word.
Fuck. Well, time to try and remember that for any future reference.]
All right. So it's weird spirit medicine that also has physical effects.
[Okay.]
Just.
Wanted to make sure.
When you say it eases your youkais spirit, does it conk them out temporarily or make them drowsy to any degree?

Do you need some?

So it might work even better?
Shit. If that's the case than I'll take as much as you can fucking give me.
[Interesting. So it sounded like a happy pill version of the youkai power inhibitors that existed in his own world.]

It shouldn't take too long, if you're willing.
