A little olive oil will help reduce hairballs in cats. Add a bit to their food, it is healthy for them and will lubricate the hair in the cat’s stomach so it will pass easier through the digestive system.

Yucca:

The best part of the Yucca to use medicinally is the root. Pound the root into a mild soap. This is good to cleanse cuts, scrapes, etc or for washing your hair or bathing. Make a poultice of the soapy root for skin rashes, boils and poison ivy.
