It's hard to remember every herb used in the book so I'm in the process of creating a guide and I hope it'll be of use to all medicine cat's of Skyclan and Earthclan.I've also underlined the use for the plants to make it easier along with description.


Borage Leaves-To be chewed and eaten. The plant can be distinguished by its small blue or pink star-shaped flowers and hairy leaves. Great for nursing queens as it helps increase their supply of milk. Also brings down fever.

Burdock Root-A tall-stemmed, sharp-smelling thistle with dark leaves. A medicine cat must dig up the roots, wash off the dirt, and chew it into a pulp, which can be applied to rat bites. Cures infection.

Catmint aka Catnip-A delicious smelling, leafy plant that's hard to find in the wild; often growing in two-leg gardens. The best cure for Greencough.

Chervil-A sweet-smelling plant with large, spreading, fernlike leaves and small white flowers. The juice of the leaves can be used for infected wounds, and chewing the roots helps with bellyaches.

Cobweb-Spiderwebs can be found all over the forest; be careful not to bring along the spider when you take the web! Medicine cats wrap it around an injur to soak up the blood and keep the wound clean. Stops bleeding.

Coltsfoot-A flowering plant, a bit like a dandelion, with yellow and white flowers. The leaves can be chewed into a pulp, which is eaten to help shortness of breath.

Comfrey-Udentifiable by its large leaves and small bell-shaped flowers, which can be pink, white or purple. The fat black roots of this plant can be chewed into a poultice to mend broken bones or soothe wounds.

Dock-A plant similar to Sorrel. The leaf can be chewed up and applied to soothe scratches.

Dried oak Leaf-Collected in the autumn and stored in a dry place. Stops infection.

Feverfew-A small bush with flowers like daisies. The leaves can be eaten to cool down body temperature, particularly for cats with fever or chills.

Goldenrod-A tall plant with bright yellow flowers. A poultice of this is terrific for healing wounds.

Honey-A sweet, golden liquid created by beed. Difficult to obtain without being stung, but great for soothing infections or the throats of cats who have breathed smoke.

Horsetail-A tall plant with bristly stems that grows in marshy areas. The leaves can be used to treat infected wounds.

Juniper Berries-A bush with spiky dark green leaves and purple berries. The berries soothe bellyaches and help cats who are having trouble breathing.

Lavender-A small purple flowering plant. Cures fever.

Marigold-A bright orange or yellow flower that grows low to the ground. The petals or leaves can be chewed into a pulp and applied as a poultice to wounds. Stops infection.

Mouse Bile-A bad-smelling liquid that is the only remedy for ticks. Dab a little moss soaked in bile on a tick and it'll fall right off. Wash paws thoroughly afterward.

Poppy Seed-Small black seeds shaken from a dried poppy flower, these are fed to cats to help them sleep. Soothes cats suffering from shock and distress.Not recommended for nursing queens.

Stinging Nettle-The spiny green seeds can be administered to a cat who's swallowed poison, While the leaces can be applied to a would to bring down swelling.
