Also Known as Bitter Root, Gentian Root is often used in love magick and can be added to incense blends and burned to attract love, or carried in a Magick Bag or Sachet with other love-attracting herbs. You can even dress your candles with it to help break hexes and curses. This intensely bitter herb is commonly used to stimulate digestive system function, but be careful to not take if pregnant of use during gastrointestinal inflammation. Because this herb is so closely linked to the stomach it is great to use while working with the Solar Plexus Chakra.
