Herbs


this information is here for general purposes only...never burn,eat or drink any herb unless you are familiar with it! although to my knowledge none of these herbs are harmful your mileage may vary(there are such things as allergic reactions)if you would like to know more on the magical or medicinal uses for herbs these are a couple of books that you may want to read... scott cunningham's book "magical uses for herbs"is excellent as well as his book"incense,oils,and brews" as far as medicinal properties i'm sure if you did a search on lycos or some other search engine you could come up with some good info.
