The candles should be blessed and then burned. For these types of spells, it is always best to use the seven day candle design. Knob candles also work well for these, the user lighting the next knob of the candle each day with their intention in thought. *note: some of these herbs can be ingested, HOWEVER do not do so unless you are an experienced herbalist or have recieved clearance from a doctor or pharmacist.
