Horehound - Cut Herbs 2oz
Horehound Cut (Marrubium Vulgare) 2oz.
Said to offer powerful protection against magic, Horehound is believed to also help maintain clarity during magical rituals. Horehound, also known as the “Seed of Horus”, is a protective herb governed by the element Earth and the planet Mercury. It was once considered the “anti-magick” herb and was revered for its ability to repel witches as well as break the power of spells; hence it was used extensively during the Middle ages. It is popular today as an ingredient in many herbal cough drops.
Horehound, also called white horehound, is a perennial member of the mint family that is native to Africa, Asia and Europe now naturalized elsewhere, including North America. Because the herb contains a high degree of mucilage, it is typically prepared as tea. Horehound is also used to make syrups and throat lozenges.
