◦WildClan Medicine Cat Herbs◦These are different than the ones in the book so please use these when roleplaying. List made by Erιѕ Alvα .
- Aloe Vera - Low-growing, spiky leaf. Chewed to pulp and applied to rashes, burns, or legions. Eaten to soothe bellyache.
Angelica- Very tall plant with tiny clusters of white flowers and a purplish-green stem. Rubbed on chest for chest infections and greencough, and eaten for fever reduction. - Basil - Bushy, waxy leaves that grow in disproportional fours. Eaten to treat fever, cough, or sore throat. Can be wrapped on the eye for various eye issues.
- Brahmi - Tiny, clover-like plant with tiny white roots. A strengthening herb. Given before long travel or chewed and fed to weak newborns. Effective when the pulp is applied to swellings.
- Charcoal - Black charred plant remains, normally from an old forest fire. Eaten to induce vomiting. Can also be rubbed on spider or snake bites to try to absorb the poison/venom.
- Cinchona Bark - A large bush (or small tree, depending on who you ask) with broad, veiny leaves and reddish-brown bark. Bark is chewed and swallowed for treatment and prevention of serious or extreme fever. Chewed and applied to porcupine quills to dull the pain and help removal.
- Cinnamon - Strong-smelling, brown stalks. Eaten for heart issues. Poultice used for inflammation and to prevent infection.
- Cobwebs - Webs from a spider, normally old or abandoned. Can be best found in dark and secluded areas. Used like a cloth on open wounds to stop bleeding. Applied to healing wounds to keep medicine in place or protect the wound.
- Daisy - Small plant with a circular, iconic white flower with many petals and a yellow center. Found nearly everywhere. Dark oval leaves are chewed into a paste to apply to aching joints. Can also be eaten to prevent joint pain when traveling.
- Dandelion - A memorable yellow flower with long, weak, hollow stems. A half moon after the weed blooms, the yellow flower turns into a white sphere of minuscule smaller flowers that blow away in the wind. Is extremely, annoyingly common. The liquid within the hollow stems is applied to bee stings to help them get better. Leaves can also be eaten to treat pain but taste awful.
- Ephedra- Low-growing, grayish grass with long, thin stems. Smells vaguely of sulfur. Eating it causes the mind to become sharper, the muscles to be pushed harder, the lungs to be opened more, and body heat to increase. In short, used for battle performance. Is highly addictive. Adverse effects include nausea, short temper, paranoia, and insomnia.
- Fennel - Has very tiny yellow flower clumps on thin stalks. Very thin and spiky leaves. Grows wild in most temperate areas. Easily found around streams and on the coast. Juice can be consumed for treatment of chronic coughs (Whitecough mostly) and ease the pain of Blackcough. Eating fennel suppresses hunger. Also helps pain in hips.
- Ginger - Knotty, brown root attached to tall, water-loving reeds. Eaten for nausea, muscle weakness, and soreness. Occasionally given to elders to keep their minds sharp.
- Holly - Plant with shiny, dark green, spiky-edged leaves and plump red berries. Found almost anywhere woody. Berries are very poisonous
- Honey - Golden and sticky liquid made by bees and found in their hives. Taken with bitter herbs to get them down easier. Mixed with some poultices to make them hold to wounds easier. Can be given to kits without someone to suckle from as a nutrient substitute. Is very good for smoke-damaged throats. Also gives energy.
- Lemongrass - Very citrus-smelling, very long grass that wards off insects. Poultice applied to treat and prevent infection. Smell is also very soothing.
- Mandrake - Low-growing, bell-shaped plant of greenish-brown color. In small amounts, leaves can be eaten for extreme pain and as a sedative. Is hugely toxic and hallucinogenic. Berry is the most toxic part. Juice from the ripe berry can be rubbed on claws and used offensively.
- Marigold - Found in wet meadows and along streams. Showy dark-green plant with a very large buttercup, usually red or yellow. Infusion of flowers prevents seizures. The poultice can be applied to wounds to prevent and fight infection. Can also be used for inflamed joints.
- Mint - Low-growing plant with downy and serrated leaves. Leaves can be anywhere from green to purple to yellow but keep their white fuzz. Very sharp, minty smell and taste. Found anywhere that is wooded and rugged. Rubbed on a dead body to hide the scent of death. Also can be eaten with food or rubbed on a queen’s belly when her kits are having trouble suckling.
- Mouse Bile - Stomach bile taken from a dead mouse. Used to remove ticks and fleas from pelts.
- Nutmeg - Small tree with green to light-brown bulbs. Brown ‘nuts’ crushed and eaten for diarrhea, nausea, stomach pains, and toothache. Warning: induces miscarriage and too much will cause violent hallucinations.
- Oak Leaves - Dry leaves are taken from the forest floor. Best found in Leaf-Fall. Poultice chewed and applied thickly on wounds to stop an infection from spreading.
- Stevia - Weed-like, basil-like green plant with toothed leaves and small white flowers. Eaten to gain or lose weight, to raise the blood sugar after drowning or near-drowning, or chewed and put on the nostrils to awaken an unconscious cat.

- Tamarind - Tall, swampy tree with distinct, brown, hotdog-looking peanut fruit. Fruit can be fed in small quantities to queens to help milk production. Can also be turned to a pulp and fed to motherless kits. Caution with use, as it is a laxative.
- Tumeric - Long, narrow, waxy leafed plant with tall stalks and central pinecone-like flower. Eaten as treatment for many internal issues, such as internal infections, food poisoning, or indigestion. Also rubbed on wounds or sores to cleanse them.
- Vanilla - Brown-black stalks with light yellow flowers. Poultice applied for inflammation. Placed or rubbed on bodies to disguise the scent of death. Parts of the plant might be put in nests to help sleep and anxiety issues.
