Herbal Boosters

Description
Adds two types of herbal medication to treat illnesses and infections. They will not grant immunity the way penoxy does, but they will increase blood filtration. The concentrated version will also act as a mild painkiller.
You may also craft an antiparasitical concoction that will protect from gut worms and muscle parasites for two days. The concentrated immunity booster and bulk recipes for all three must be made in the drug lab.
All recipes require nothing but basic growable crops. If you set up some berries, herbal meds, rice and smokeleaf you're set to make all of them.

I realise that the very basic nature of the ingredients make the boosters rather cheap and tried to balance that by making the effects last a fairly short time. Feel free to throw suggestions at me about better balancing.

This mod should not conflict with anything, but please do report unexpected behaviour.

The durations are fairly short, since those are meant to be low tech, the antiparasitic lasts a bit more than 2 days, the normal booster a bit more than a day and the concentrated one almost two days.
The way to set those durations is a bit funny. I'm low key pondering more advanced versions but there's so many lovely medication mods out there already. I personally supplement with bed rest for food poisoning, food poisoning cures and the teas/coffees from vanilla brewing expanded.

How long do these drugs last? There isn't a number of hours next to the health effects on pawns, at least for the concentrated immunity booster it doesn't

I can definitely do that, thanks for the poke!

The Herbal Immunity Boosters aren't craftable at the drug lab. the concentrated ones are, but if you still want to craft the herbal ones, you have to keep a clunky, annoying "crafting spot" on the floor rather than just use the bench like you should. Can this be fixed?
