Cinquefoil - Potentilla spp.

Medicinal: Cinquefoil herb is a traditional astringent, similar in use to Witch Hazel & White Oak Bark. Like those botanicals, it’s used to tighten and tone tissues, as well as to soothe gastrointestinal distress.
Astringent herbs are also commonly used as mouthwashes or gargles to soothe mouth, throat and gums.
Magickal: It's an all-purpose magickal herb. The five points of the leaf represent love, money, health, power, and wisdom. The five points can also represent the 5 Elements: Air, Earth, Water, Fire,and Spirit. Carry, burn, or wear to possess these traits. Stimulates memory, eloquence, and self-confidence. Commonly used in spells seeking financial gain, or by those who are otherwise seeking good fortune and self-improvement. Among Hoodoo practitioners, it is sometimes carried in Mojo Bags specifically to bring love, money, health, power, and wisdom into their lives. In other traditions, it is also used to repel evil and negativity, particularly that which is caused by "the five fingers of man."
Cinquefoil is frequently used for business & house blessing. Use in spells to bring protection to a friend or loved one taking a journey. Burn as an incense during divination to bring dreams of one's intended mate and is frequently associated with ritual work involving romance. Wash hands and forehead with an infusion of this herb nine times to wash away hexes and evil spells against you. Fill an empty egg shell and keep it in the home for powerful protection from evil forces. Wrap in red flannel and hang over the bed to ward off dark spirits of the night.
