Rue

Mars/
Fire

Healing, Health, Mental Powers, Exorcism, Love, Protection.  Rue was considered by the Celts to be an anti-magickal herb, while the Romans ate rue as a preservative against the evil eye.  Fresh rue, sniffed, clears the head in love matters, and also improves mental processes.  A sprig of fresh rue is used as a sprinkler to distribute salt water throughout the house to clear it of negativity.
