Fresh and dried herbs have been used for centuries for health, for food, and for magic. Here is a less than comprehensive list of some of the magical properties of some of the herbs we carry. Thanks to John Stitely for his research on these herbs. And thanks to Cameron and Michael at Keys of Paradise for stocking us with such high-quality goods. We have oils and dried herbs, bath salts and incense from these guys!
