Celandine

This herb can be used to soothe the eyes.

Chamomile

Dock

Similar to sorrel, the leaves can be chewed up and applied to soothe scratches. To apply, chew it into a pulp, and lick the juice onto the wound, and then spit the remains of the leaf out.

Dried Oak Leaf

Most readily available in autumn, the leaves are stored in a dry place, and can stop infection when applied.

Feverfew

Goldenrod

A tall, plant with bright, yellow flowers. When chewed into a poultice, it is good for healing wounds.

Honey

A sweet, golden-colored liquid that is made by bees. While difficult to obtain without being stung, it is great for soothing infections, sore throats, or cats who have breathed smoke.

Watermint

A green, leafy plant found in streams or damp earth. Usually chewed into a pulp and fed to cats with bellyache.
