Elixir of the Ivory Guardians
Cleansing Earth & Cooling Aether

This simple paste aligns the alchemy of the kitchen to polish the temple's gates. Coconut oil (moistening earth) binds baking soda (abrasive mineral) and peppermint (cooling aether) to lift impurities without disturbing the natural humors. Use a pea-sized amount daily; store in a cool, dry vessel for up to three moons.
