One of the most important pages for Clan cats! Since the dream is set in Hawaii, most of the average herbs (oak leaves, burdock root, comfrey, etc.) are not available. This is a full reference list for native plants that the medicine cats will use. Any reference to non-native-growing plants will be considered null.
Aloe
Broken in half, the juices of the aloe plant is a soothing remedy for bites, burns, and sores. Used directly on the skin or fur.
Awa
The equivalent to poppy seeds, awa leaves can be chewed and distributed to help with pain, imsomnia, and anxiety.
Awahupi
Commonly known as ginger, the juice of the tuber of the awahupi can be administrated with cobwebs to help soothe sprains and cuts. Used by itself, it can help with toothache and stomachache.
Coconuts
Of no medicinal value. When old cocnuts are charred or broken on the shore, they make useful containers for herbs or prey. Otherwise, they are useless since cats cannot crack open ripe coconuts.
Gourds
Similar in use to the coconuts.
Guava
The fruit of the guava tree produces a sticky pink juice from its red-colored flesh that can be dripped in bleeding wounds. It lessens or stops the bleeding, and is doubly effective when bandaged over with cobwebs.
Hau
The stems can be scraped or shredded off by the front teeth and given to nursing queens to eat after or before giving birth. It is used for lessening the pain.
Ha'uowi
The juices from the leaves can be applied to the skin to cure a cat from fleas or to soothe sores or small cuts.
Honey
Though usually hard to obtain because of the bees, honey is the best remedy for throat problems, and is also a sweet treat for kits. The best and safest way to obtain honeycomb is after a fire, when the bees are temporarily gone.
Ilima
The flowers of the ilima plant are chewed by nursing queens to help produce milk. The equivalent of borage leaves.
Kaliko
A dangerous plant. Only the juice of the roots are safe, and are an almost sure remedy for infections. However, the stems, leaves, and flowers of the plant are poisonous, and can kill kits, young apprentices, and some elders.
Koali
The root and stems of this plant are used to make a poultice with cobwebs to relieve pain on wounds.
Koko'olau
The leaves of this plant are useful for many things, including shortness of breath, fever, headache, and upset stomach.
Kukui Nut
Though the oils inside the nut are often hard to obtain due to the nut's hard shell, the juices are perfect for healing sores and infection.
Mao
The flowers and bark of the mao plant are dried, then eaten to soothe stomach pains. It also helps soothe queens after birth.
Mouse Bile
The only remedy for ticks. Dabbing a pawful of mouse bile on the tick will kill it, just make sure to clean your paws off in running water afterwards. Smells bad.

The fruits are used as an all-around medicine. Though it tastes bitter and quite disgusting, it heals infections and deep wounds, and also is a mild pain-reliever.
Olena
The leaves are chewed and applied as a poultice to bleeding wounds. It's also great for when ears are torn; it relieves the pain, but makes the ear slightly numb.
Poi
The roots are painstakingly chewed into a pulpy substance, then given to nursing queens to help produce milk. It tastes horrible.
Ti
The large leaves get very cold after sitting in cool water, so lying them on wounds, aches, or sores relieves much of the pain.
Uala
The chewed stems are good for shortness of breath, fever, nausea, and stomach aches, and also help queens' anxiety. When applied, the leaves soothe bug bites and burns.
Ulu
Also known as breadfruit, the sap from the stems and leaves heal small cuts, scratches, and cracked paw pads.
