Ash - Magickally, it is said that wands made of ash unlock magick. This tree grows in many forms and has many different "relatives", such as Bitter Ash. Ash bark is often used in a tonic form to treat fevers and rhuematism in older people, but it is bitter-tasting and should be mixed with other herbs. The leaves have few useful medicinal properties, but is known that if livestock eat ash leaves, the butter becomes rank, so it was once believed ash was poison to animals.

Balm - ...what kind of balm? lemon balm? Lemon balm is also called melissa, because of it's sweet smell. This is often used in tea-form in tonics for the flu and other high-fever infections, but is also used as a "women's herb" for females to increase hormone production and balance the cycle. Often helpful for pregenant women suffering late pregnancy pains, but should not be taken by women in the early stages of pregnancy.

Barberry - usually, only the root and bark of this plant are used. While the pale yellow flowers are pretty, they are regarded as generally useless.

Belladonna - powerful poison. Belladonna is also called 'Deadly Nightshade', and grows mainly in southern Europe. Also called 'Devil's Herb'. A relative to mandrake, I will personally never use or grow belladonna for anything because it is a powerful poison when swallowed. However, in very small doses it causes deep, deep sleep without dreams, and can be used on the skin to lessen painful joints and deep irritations under the skin, like sprains. Children can injest more than adults, and it can be used in the very young to help cure the croup. Once again, though, it is a very potent poisonous plant and even small doses CAN KILL.

Bilberry - Bilberry strengthens the muscles around the eye, good for those with poorer vision.

Bittermourn - did you mean Bittersweet? Bittersweet is usually called 'Woody Nightshade', this plant is "related" to henbane and deadly nightshade, and looks something like them. This plant is mostly a narcotic, like its relatives, but is not so dangerous as the other poisonous plants in this species. It grows all year long.

Burdock -another "weedlike" plant, this grows all over the place in England. The name "burdock" comes from the burrs of the plant that have a tendancy to come off and stick to clothing and wool (sheep have lots of trouble with this plant, as the burrs get entangled on them). Medicinally, the root is used and often only after it has been left to dry for many weeks, burdock is one of the best blood purifyers and also a good "skin" herb that cures rashes and itching when applied to the skin.

Dandelion - one of my favourite herbs, only dandelion greens and roots are used. The flower part is good for making yellow dye, but little else. While dandelion can be eaten, it doesn't taste very good. Dandelion can grow anywhere, everywhere, usually in hotter months, and is one of the best herbs for women there is. It is also good for the urinary tract and to help cure bladder infections. Even in large quantities, dandelion is never poisonous. The juice from the stem can be made into a tea to relieve cramping from women's ails, and in a poultice the leaves placed directly on the lower stomach relieve pain.
