Herbs has been used since the ancient times fo medical uses but a witch knows that you can uses it for other purposes

Ways to use herbs :

Charms and sachets: you can fill a small bag or tie up in a small cloth of the right color with herbs. These bags can be hanged , buried in the yard, you can keep it by you or on your alter, you can keep it anywhere as long as it's conected with your intensions. You can burn it as well

Incense ; ground and blend in the right combenation for the spell or for what you need it ex. A incens to calm your nerves. Incens can be used for rituals, spell casting, or just for your own enjoyment

Bath :
You can make a sachet and place it in your bath, you can drob the herbs into bath water in the form of tea balls or just simly mix it with the water. Lavender make a nice relaxing bath and eucalyput tends to help with flu.
Whatever you do don't put herbs in that will irritate you're. Skin ex. Nettles and do not add herbs that you are allergic to

Oils:
Place herbs in oil then let them steep for a few days after that let it strain. The oils you make don't have to be for magic alone you can make flavored oil for cooking or beuty oil for skin and hair. There are other uses for the oils as well

Tea's :

When making tea make sure the herbs you use are harmless
The easy way to make a tea is to mix the right herbs the pour boiling water over the herbs (note herbs must be in a strainer) then let the tea stand for 4 min. And your done
And if you like you can add abit of honey or syrup to the tea

Smoking :
You can make herbal smoking mixture just the same as a siggaret but I am 100% against this
Later will post ways how to make these things and a few reseps
