 HEALTH, BEAUTY and WELLNESS

Many Pagans - and others - use herbs as a tool in the magical arsenal. While not every herb is safe to ingest - and be sure to read about Dangerous Herbs before you get started - many of them are used in a magical or folkloric context to bring about healing. If you're interested in healing magic, here are some of the most popular healing herbs to keep on hand, and how you can use them.
Please do keep in mind that if you're going to use herbs internally - such as a tea or tincture - it's always a good idea to check with your physician first.

There are some medical conditions that contraindicate the use of various herbs, so do your homework before you begin.

  • Catnip: Rub catnip leaves on your skin to freshen it (although you may want to avoid this if you're allergic to cats), or burn it incense for workings related to beauty.
