Medicine

A medicine cat's main job is to heal their fellow Clanmates of their wounds and sicknesses. They have many ways of doing so, mostly through herbs and berries kept in the medicine cat's herb store inside their den. The Clans' understanding of medicinal herbs stems from Cloud Spots and Dappled Pelt's knowledge from the mountains and the ancient Tribe from when they gathered herbs in the valleys, which expanded with new herbs once they arrived at the forest territories. The expansion of medicinal knowledge exponentially grew after StarClan established the role of medicine cats, and the original five medicine cats shared their findings for various ailments with each other. Years later, medicine cats continue to share their discoveries with one another at the half-moon meetings.
The following is a list of known herbs in the Warriors series.

==Trivia==
*It was revealed by Vicky that she used Culpeper's Herbal Remedies by Nicolas Culpeper to get the information for the herbs.
*Catmint was originally called catnip in the first arc, but it was changed to catmint by The New Prophecy.
*Watermint was originally spelled as "water mint", but it was later changed to "watermint" in subsequent appearances. It is called "water mint" again in Long Shadows.
