Basil - Burn basil to exorcise negativity from the house. Can be used for cleansing and protection of yourself/home. Used in bathwater for clearing of the skin. Used in teas and wine (when steeped for a few hours) can aid in digestion. Use one drop of Basil oil on shirtsleeves to counteract mental fatigue.
Betony – Also known as Bishopwort, Wood Betony, and Purple Betony. This was a very magical herb to the Druids as it has the power to expel evil spirits, nightmares and despair. It is burned at midsummer Solstice for purification and protection. Sprinkle near all doors and windows to form a protective barrier. If you are troubled by nightmares, fill a small cloth pillow and place it under you regular pillow to rid yourself of this.
Birch – Also known as Lady of the Woods, Paper Birch, and White Birch. Good for love and romance. Carefully gather strips of the bark at the New Moon. With red ink, write on a birch strip: bring to me true love. Burn this along with a love incense, saying: “Goddess of love, God of desire, Bring to me sweet passion’s fire.” The specific name of a god/goddess may be added. Or cast the bark into a stream or other flowing water saying: “Message of love, I set you free, to find a love and return to me.”
Bistort – Also called Snakeweed, Sweet Dock, and Dragonwort. Carry a piece of the dried root if you want to conceive.
Blackthorn – Also called Sloe. The thorns are used to sticking into black figure candles or poppets of enemies who will not leave you alone. Before burning the candle or poppet, attach the trouble-maker’s name to it or carve it into the candle with our knife. Take three thorns and place them in the forehead, heart, and abdomen of the image, saying: “Evil return to the one who sent thee. Me and mine are now set free. No hurt, no harm can enter here. My life and way are now made clear.” (I don’t advise using this unless all other results have failed. This simply turns the bad luck/ evil away from you and sends it back to the person/caster.)
Briar – Also known as Wild Rose, Briar Rose, Sweet Briar, and Hip Fruit. Regular scented roses may be substituted. For clairvoyant dreams, steep two teasthingys fresh or dried rose petals in one cup boiling water. Cover and let stand for five minutes. Drink at bedtime.

Cedar – Also know as The Tree of Life, Arbor, Vitae, and Yellow Cedar. Ancient Celts used cedar oil to preserve the heads of enemies taken in battle. (Though I seriously doubt that anyone here has a head to preserve) To draw Earth energy and ground yourself, place the palms of your hands against the leaves.

BORAGE
Help for viral infections - Borage and echinacea tea has a calming effect, reduces fever and induces sweating. Helps the body combat measles, mumps, chicken pox, colds and flus. Mix equal parts of fresh borage leaves and powdered echinacea root. Brew in hot water, let steep for 10 minutes and sweeten with honey. Drink 1 cup 3 times a day.
Other names - Good Cheer, Dear Friend, and Sparking Eyes reflect borages's ability to brighten the mood. Rich in a polyunsaturated fatty acid, borage-seed oil is used to address metabolic problems from obesity to premenstrual complaints. Eases sore throats and coughs while helping to break fevers by inducing sweats.
Flavor enhancer, it is used as a staple in many italian dishes such as ravioli stuffed with borage and borage risotto. Sprinkle the leaves or stir them in just before serving, as cooking it removes much of its flavor and aroma.

Possible use for rosemary:
Keep rosemary over the door of the room that you share with your significant other to help keep things happy.
NOTE: This suggestion is based on the experience that my cousin had at one point. I'm sorry - I can make no guarantee that it will work for you.
Good luck! SGH
