This is a list of herbs in alphabetic order to help anyone RP a medicine cat or medicine cat apprentice for the first time. I like making lists!!!!!! Some word afterward are included to help with some word choice. Its taken from the book by Erin Hunter: "Warriors Field Guide: Secrets of the Clans" I didn't know a lot about herbs so I used the descriptions in the book, sorry if it isn't accurate or not! Herbs to know: ~Borage leaves: To be chew or 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 them into a pulp, which can be applied to rat bites. cures infection. ~Catmint (commonly known as catnip): A delicious-smelling, leafy plant that's hard to find wild; often found growing in twoleg gardens. The best remedy for greencough. ~Chervil: A sweet-smelling plant with large, spreading, fern like 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 take the spider along when you take the web! Medicine cats can wrap it around an injury to soak up blood and keep the wound clean. Stops bleeding! ~Coltsfoot: A flowering plan, a bit like a dandelion, with yellow or white flowers. The leaves can be chew into a pulp, which is eaten to help shortness of breath. ~Comfrey: Identifiable by its large leaves and bell-shaped flowers, which can be pink, white or purple. The fat black roots can be chewed into a poultice to mend broken bones or sooth wounds. ~Dock: similar to sorrel. The leaf can be chewed up and applied to sooth scratches. ~Dried Oak Leaf: Collected in autumn and stored in a dry place. Stops infections. ~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 that is terrific for healing wounds. ~Honey: A sweet, golden liquid created by bees. Difficult to collect without getting stung, but great for soothing infections or the throats of cats who have breathed smoke! ~Horsetail: A tall plant with bristly stems that grow in marshy areas. The leaves can be chewed up to treat infected wounds. Usually chewed up and applied like poultice. ~Juniper Berries: A bush with spiky dark green leaves and purple berries. The berries sooth bellyaches and help cats who have 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 up 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 in running water afterward! ~Poppy Seed: Small black seed shaken from a dried poppy flower, these are fed to cats to help them sleep. soothes cats suffering from shock or distress. Not recommended to nursing queens! ~Stinging Nettle: The spiny green seed can be administered to cats who's swallow poison, while the leaves can be applied to a wound to bring down swelling. ~Tansy: A strong-smelling plant with round yellow flowers. Good for curing coughs, must be eaten in small doses! Note: Tansy's strong smell can keep cats awake if they keep falling asleep so you can give them more herbs! Something from the subeta FFC in Crescent moon Sanctuary! ~Thyme: This herbs can be eaten to calm anxiety and frayed nerves. ~ Watermint: A leafy green plant found in streams or damp earth. Usually chewed into a pulp and then fed to a cat suffering from bellyache. ~Wild Garlic: Rolling in a patch of wild garlic can help prevent infection, especially for dangerous wounds like rat bites. ~Yarrow: A flowering plant whose leaves can be made into a poultice and applied to wounds or scratches to expel poison. Note: I will look this up but this plant (Yarrow) can be eaten to make cats vomit up things like death berries or two leg trash (Oil, see Erin Hunters Book Series: New Prophecy Book ?) One thing you don't do: Deathberries: Red berries that can be fatally poisonous to kits and elders. They are NOT EVER to be used as medicine. Known to us twolegs as yew berries. Beware! Guide To my Color Madness: Things in GRAY are dangerous! Things in PURPLE are flower plants Things in liquid form are in BLUE Things in GREEN are leaf plants Things that deal with berries that don't apply to GRAY things is RED And anything else is ORANGE cause I am bored!!!!!!! What do you think of my total glossary? =]
