[left][font=times new roman](Here is just a very simple list of
herbs I [s]copy and paste from goodreads[/s] found online. There
is a better one located on the warriors wiki)
List of Herbs (in alphabetical order):
[color=white]Alder Bark: Bark from an alder tree is good for
healing toothaches.
Blackberry Leaves: This herb is good for bee stings.
Borage Leaves: This herb is used to treat fevers. It also helps
nursing queens bring up their milk supply.
Burdock Root: This herb is used to treat infections, and is
especially good for rat bites.
Catmint (also called catnip): This herb is good for treating
whitecough and greencough.
Celandine: This herb is used to ease pain. It can also be used
to treat injuries of the eyes.
Chamomile: This herb is used to calm a cat in the case of a
nervous breakdown or severe shock.
Chervile: This herb is used to treat bellyache.
Chervile Root: This herb is used to keep away and treat
infections.
Chickweed: This herb can be used as another treatment for
greencough.
Coltsfoot: This herb can be used as another treatment for
whitecough. It can also be used to ease a sick cat's breathing.
Comfrey: This herb is used to put broken bone on the right path
for mending.
Daisy Leaves: This herb is used to soothe aching joints.
Dandelion Leaves: This is another herb used to calm a cat in the
event of a nervous breakdown or severe shock.
Dock Leaves: This herb is used to treat nettle stings. Its
juices are also good for soothing sore paw pads.
Elder Leaves: This herb can be used to help treat sprains.
Feverfew: This herb is used to cool feverish cats and treat
headaches.
Goldenrod: This herb is used in poultices to treat aching joints
and stiffness. It can also be used to treat severe injuries.
Goosegrass: This herb is used to stop bleeding from a wound.
Horsetail: This herb is used to treat infected wounds.
Juniper Berries: This is another herb used to treat bellyache.
It can also be used to calm a cat in the event of a nervous
breakdown or severe shock.
Lavender: This herb is used to treat coughs and fevers. It can
also be used to calm a cat in the event of a nervous breakdown
or severe shock.
Mallow: This herb is used to fight infection. It can also be
used to treat bee or wasp stings.
Marigold: This herb is used to keep wounds from getting
infected. It can also heal sores.
Nettle Leaves: This herb is used to keep down the swelling of a
wound.
Nettle Seeds: This seed is used to counter the effects of weak
poisons.
Oak Leaves: This herb is used to stop bleeding from a wound and
to fight infection.
Parsley: This herb is used to stop the initial flow of milk in
nursing queen. (After kits feed, a queen's milk still flows, and
this herb is used to dry it up so it can be saved for later.)
Poppy Seeds: This seed is used to numb pain and help a cat
sleep. Giving a cat more than two seeds may negatively affect
their health, so be careful.
Ragwort Leaves: This is another herb used to treat aching
joints.
Raspberry Leaves: This herb is used to ease pain during a
queen's kitting.
Snake Root: This herb is used to counter the effects of poison.
Tansy: This herb is used to treat coughs. It can also be used to
heal wounds.
Thyme: Yet another herb used to calm a cat in the event of a
nervous breakdown or severe shock.
Tormentil: This herb is good for treating wounds and countering
the effects of weak poisons.
Traveling Herbs: These herbs are eaten by cats before making
long journeys, such as ones to the Moonstone. They keep away the
pangs of hunger and give a cat strength.
Watermint: This is another herb used to treat bellyache.
Yarrow: This herb is used to make a cat vomit. This action
expels poisons from the body.
Non-Herbal Medicine:
Cobwebs: Cobwebs are used to stop bleeding.
Honey: Honey is used to treat sore throats.
Mouse Bile: Mouse bile is used to make ticks release their grip
on a cat.
Wild Garlic: Rolling in this herb can help to keep infection out
of wounds. It is also good for rat bites.
Other Non-Herbal Treatments:
1. Gently nipping a cat's spine or poking it hard with a claw
tests to see if the backbone is broken. If the subject does not
feel the nip or poke, then the spine is broken. Many times a
medicine cat will have to poke/nip the subject multiple times in
different places to find the break.
2. Licking a cat's fur can help clean wounds, comfort/calm down
a shocked or grieving cat, and warm a cat who has become very
cold. (Lick the cat's fur the wrong way to do this. The last
method is most often used on kits.)
3. Soaking moss in water and holding the dripping moss before a
sick, injured or weak cat makes it easier for them to drink.
Soaked moss can also be used to cool feverish cats.
4. Rosemary/mint can be used to lighten the death-scent of a
dead cat before burial.
5. Using nectar, honey or mouse blood can make herbs sweeter and
more appealing to cats--therefore making it easier to take the
medicine.
6. Holding a swelling wound in cold water takes down swelling.
Cats can also soothe scraped pads by soaking them in water.
7. A cat with weak or hurting muscles/bone can take part in
water therapy. Have them wade in water that is not too deep or
shallow, and eventually they'll get stronger.
8. Having a sick cat wail or yowl keeps their lungs and chest
clear of mucus.
Taking Care of Your Herbs:
Here is how a medicine cat should keep their herbs fresh and
usable.
--If any herbs are wet, leave them out in the sun until they
dry.
--Gather fresh herbs when your stock gets low.
--Leave enough of the herb on the plant you use for gathering it
so it can reproduce
--Check your store often and throw out old herbs or herbs that
have lost their healing qualities.
Other Herbs To Keep in the Medicine Den:
Note: ONLY use these herbs for self-defense against a cat who is
a danger to all the Clans, or if a cat from your own Clan asks
for a quick, painless path to StarClan while on his or her
deathbed.
Holly Berries: A poisonous berry. Cats die almost instantly if
they are consumed. If consumption if not intentional, use yarrow
to get the berries out of the cat's stomach.
Deathberries(Yew berries): A poisonous berry. Cats die almost
instantly if they are consumed. If consumption is not
intentional, use yarrow to get the berries out of the cat's
stomach.
[b]The berries listed above can also be used as traps for
dangerous predators. (Snakes, mountain lions, foxes, badgers,
ect.) Stuff a piece of fresh-kill with these berries and set it
near the predator's den. They will die quickly and painlessly.
