Medicine

The Ashu-niqot mushroom, an ancient fungus found throughout the planet, is currently used all over Ecbeth as a currency. Boiled and grated, it can turn into an edible paste or a building material. Ecbethians need to consume Ash (short for "Ashu-niqot") regularly in order to keep their skin from thickening and hardening over time.

Healthcare

Healthcare for Ecbethians is mainly involved with the ailments of the shedding and the skins. As they need to shed their bodies throughout their lives, healthcare practitioners are required to make sure no amount of dead skin is left on the body, as it can cause infections.

Nutrition

Ecbethians require mainly a plant-based diet to survive, and therefore are not used to eating animals. That being said, they have religious, medicinal and familial rituals which have and continue to involve cannibalism.

Ecbethians don't drink, they absorb water through their skin. Their pores act as pipes which suck water in. Thus the importance of baths, which take central stage in most (if not all) settlements on Ecbeth.
