Remedies
Poppy seeds - to use these you have to only chew up and swallow a few seeds. Eating any part of the plant could, in fact, be hazardous to your feline's health. - This can be found in various earthy places.
Cobwebs - to use this you must press the 'webs firmly into the wound to cease the bleeding. Think of it as a mini tourniquet! - This can be found near trees and small shrubs and bushes.
Burdock root - you must chew this up before serving it to a feline. It can be used to prevent infections from things such as rat bites. - Note that you can find this around many shrubs and bushes.
Mouse bile - to use this you should put it upon a moss leaf or some other form to soak it up with. You put it over a tick or parasite, or whatever the case, and it will cause the insect to not be able to breath. It will then recoil and leave its victim and end up dying from lack of oxygen. - To obtain this you need to get the stomach bile from a mouse. It is an extremely foul subject to deal with, so never put it into your mouth unless you want bad taste for a few weeks and possibly some illness as well!
Catnip - a plant as catnip is, it is especially helpful against Greencough and to cure some mild sicknesses. However, too much of it can do a cat badly so keep it in small dosages. - It can be found in random patches.
Thyme - chew this up and feed it to cats to ease their anxieties of everyday life. - It can be found around the forest easily.
Honey - whenever a cat has a sore throat or speech problem a little bit of honey does it well! - This can only be obtained in a Twoleg nest. You can try to fetch it in the wild from a beehive, but it would be quicker and require less medical assistance if you went into a Twoleg's yard or house and snatched some.
Marigold - this is a bright yellow flower that is used to heal sores and wounds. - You can find it around almost any patch of flowers near or around a forest-surrounding.
Chamomile - a special herb mixture of dried chamomile mixed with water, or just the plain leaves, given to a feline relaxes them and their conscience. It can also be used as a sleep aid for those restless little ones! - This is found near trees mostly.
Comfrey - this thick-leaved plant is used to ease the pain of broken bones. Keep this on the wound and eventually you may see an improvement, although it isn't always certain. - You can find these in sandy regions and forest places.
Nettle - the leaves of this plant are used for rash and fever care of the cats. - This can be found in most forest-regions.
Yarrow - when digested this can be used to vomit back up poison or other deadly toxins that were taken in by a feline. It should chewed and swallowed only as it will come back up with whatever is disturbing the feline. - This can be found in any region.
Feverfew - this plant can be used to lessen a head pain. - You can find this white-and-yellow flower in various climates.
Snakeroot - this white bud is used to counter poison. - It is found in various places.

Juniper berries - these berries, unlike that of Yew trees, are used to cure stomach pains and sometimes mild coughs. - They can be found in bushes and shrubs.
Water mint - this herb, obviously near any source of water, is used to cure a bellyache.
Dock leaves - mix then and apply it to fur can make the pelt of a cat very slippery and can help them get out of tight places. - They can be found in various places.
Wild garlic - if you roll in this garlic it will keep out infections of bites and scratches fairly well. - You can find various patches around each Clan.
Deathberries - these bright red berries, also known as Yew, are deadly. When digested the poison inside of them will kill a feline.

Diseases
Greencough - a deadly cough in which occurs mostly during winter and cold months. Without proper care the victim could die very quickly. -Symptoms: coughing, lack of energy, lack of appetite, fever.
Whitecough - although not as bad as Greencough, this cough experiences the same symptoms but in all seasons. It is easily treated though. -Symptoms: coughing, lack of energy, lack of appetite.
Ringfur - a deathly illness. Based off of the Ringworm in our language, Ringfur is that. The cat loses fur along where the fungus is, since it lives on the hair, and the only way to 'get better' is to isolate the feline from the others. The cat will be exiled or else will go under protective care from the medicine cat including spreading mouse bile along the lost fur. Another method is to leave the cat to a Twoleg nest for them to take care of it. Not all cats are returned though. -Symptoms: loss of hair in spots, red wounds, scratching, possibly fever.
Fly strike - known to some as 'maggots', whenever a cat does not stay groomed it will get this disease. The only way a MedicineCat can assist them is by using mouse bile and various washings as in a stream. -Symptoms: grungy pelt, lack of wanting to groom, lack of appetite, scratching.
