۶ Herbs

Tall stemmed thistle with a sharp smell and dark leaves. When dug up and washed off, it is chewed into a pulp, and put on wounds inflicted by rats to keep them from becoming infected. Can also be used on infected rat bites to lessen and heal the pain. 
A leafy and delicious-smelling plant which is rarely found in the wild. Mostly found in Twoleg gardens. Best cure for Greencough. 
This herb strengthens the heart when eaten, and is mainly found in Twoleg gardens.
Sweet smelling plant, which has large leaves, which are almost fern-like. When the leaves are chewed, the juice can be placed on wounds to prevent or heal infection. The roots can be chewed up and eaten to cure bellyache. 
Put on a wound to soak up and stop (or slow) the bleeding. It may also be used to bind broken bones. 
A flowering, dandelion-like plant with yellow or white flowers. The leaves are chewed into a pulp, and given to cats with difficulty breathing. This plant grows well around wet terrain, and can commonly be found around lakes or rivers.
Large leaves and small, bell-shaped flowers, which range in color from pink, to white, and also purple. Its fat, black-colored roots, when chewed into a poultice, can be used to repair broken bones, or to soothe wounds.
Similar to sorrel, the leaves can be chewed up and applied to soothe scratches. To apply, chew it into a pulp, and lick the juice onto the wound, and then spit the remains of the leaf out. Dock is most commonly found around the forest clearings and does not grow as well in the mountain area.
Most readily available in autumn, the leaves are stored in a dry place, and can stop infection when applied. 
Small bush with flowers like a daisy. The leaves can be eaten to reduce body temperature, especially cats with fever or chills. Also can heal aches and headaches. This herb can be found along any body of water, such as lakes or streams.
A tall, plant with bright, yellow flowers. When chewed into a poultice, it is good for healing wounds. 
A sweet, golden-colored liquid that is made by bees. While difficult to obtain without being stung, it is great for soothing infections, sore throats, or cats who have breathed smoke. 
A tall, bristly-stemmed plant that grows in marshy areas, like ShadowClan territory. The leaves can be chewed into a poultice, and applied to infected wounds to help treat them. 
Juniper berries grow on a bush with dark green, spiky leaves. The berries are purple in color, and can soothe bellyaches, help troubled breathing, and calm down any anxious cat. This herb grows solely in dry places.
A small, purple, flowering plant that cures fever. 
The leaves are best collected at sunhigh, when they are dry. It soothes a cat's belly. 
A low-growing flower that is bright orange or yellow in color. The petals or leaves can be chewed into a pulp and applied to wounds as a poultice to stop infection. Marigold is most commonly found near bodies of water.
The only remedy for ticks, mouse bile is foul smelling, and is stored in moss. When dabbed on a tick, the tick falls off. Smell can be masked by wild garlic, or by washing paws in running water. If accidentally swallowed, can leave gross taste in mouth for days. Made out of a mouse's stomach.
Small black seeds that are shaken out of a dried poppy flower head. They can put a cat to sleep, or soothe shock and distress, but is not recomended to nursing queens. They are given by wetting the paw, pressing on them, causing them to stick to the paw, and then having the sick or injured cat lick them off. Poppy seeds are quite common in general, and can almost be found anywhere in the forest.
This herb is used to bind broken bones.
The leaves, when applied to a wound, can bring down swelling. The spiny green seeds can be given to a cat who has been poisoned by crowfood, Twoleg waste, or other toxic objects. Nettle is quite common around the forest, and can be found almost anywhere.
The tansy plant has round, yellow leaves, and a very strong smell, making it good at disguising scent. It is good for curing coughs, but must be given in small doses. This herb can be found both near bodies of water as well as in the Twoleg gardens.
This herb can be eaten to calm nervousness and anxiety. 
Two leaves of different colors which must be eaten before a warrior/apprentice journey (e.g. to the Moonpool). The dark green leaf stops hunger. The other leaf, of an unknown color, gives the cat strength. Both taste extremely bitter. A certain poultice made from several different leaves is a variation of the traveling herbs.
A green, leafy plant found in streams or damp earth. Usually chewed into a pulp and fed to cats with bellyache.
When rolled in, it can help prevent infection. Especially good for rat bites. Due to its strong smell, it is good at hiding the scent of a certain Clan, better disguising cats on raids. 
Poisonous Herbs!Mentioned when Fireheart is with Cloudkit and Cinderpaw and Cloudkit almost eats some deathberries (see below for the latter). Also known as deadly nightshade, this plant is very poisonous, and can kill even the strongest warrior!
