Everything I Know About Warriors (and writing a fanfiction)

All Herbs

Herbs are one of the most important things to know about if your story revolves around medicine cats. Here I have gathered a list with help from the Warriors' Wiki of every herb, their uses, their smell/taste, and where they are found. Some information may be missing, but that's probably because I couldn't find it.
