How to get Medicine

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the role of Medicine is very important and can be very useful. In this guide, we explain how to find, make and use Medicine.

You can buy a Medicine from the Nook's Cranny for 400 bells (if you've set up the Bell Boom Ordinance, the Medicine will cost 480 bells). However, if you want to make it yourself, you'll need a DIY recipes plan. 

How to get the DIY recipes for Medicine

It's enough to get stung by wasps for the very first time. Shake the trees until a wasp nest appears in front of you. Don't take your net out to get stung. 

Then head off to talk to a villager. Seeing your face full of stings, the villagers are sure to help you by offering you the DIY recipes for the Medicine.

To prepare the Medicine, you'll first need the DIY recipes for the Medicine, a wasp's nest and 3 weeds. 

Further advice and uses of the Medicine

• Medicine allows the player to heal his wasp sting after shaking a tree.
• Medicine can also be used to treat a sick villager. A villager is ill when he/she walks around his/her house in pyjamas and seems to be shivering. You can also learn that someone is ill by talking to other villagers. * Treating a villager with Medicine can increase your affinity and friendship!
• If you're stung by wasps, don't hesitate to talk to your villagers - they'll either be scared or laugh at you. On the other hand, some villagers may come to your aid by offering you Medicine. 
• Treating villagers with Medicine will allow you to progress with the Miles Nook quests associated with these events or actions.
• You can also wait until the following day to visit, as the villagers seem to recover after just one day.
