Back in the days of the Roman Empire, there was a substance used to cure health problems ranging from respiratory troubles to hysteria. Today, it’s still used in modern herbalism for treating hysteria, some nervous conditions, as well as bronchitis, asthma and whooping cough. It’s called asafoetida, and it’s an antispasmodic, carminative, expectorant, natural laxative and sedative. What is asafoetida? It’s a hard, resinous gum derived from a perennial fennel plant that’s grayish-white when fresh but darkens with age to yellow, red and eventually brown. Asafoetida comes from the dried sap extracted from the stem and roots of a plant species that belongs to the carrot family and is used as a spice. The resin is difficult to grate and is traditionally crushed between stones or with a hammer

One of the strongest banishing herbs, it is used for repelling evil, reversing hexes and jinxing enemies. The pungent smell is said to ward off demons and provide a shield of protection around those who use it. It also aids in concentration and focus, helping those who are ungrounded to find their inner balance.
