Hmn...I might or might not use that; I'm also trying to find things that I can at least tie into 'fuzzy' science (like hawthorn wood and it's properties both magically as well as medically sort of corresponding).
Silver I might be able to make a case for if I look into it far enough, although garlic might be harder (except perhaps based not so much on medical/magical properies as in the SMELL, OH GOD MY NOSE!). And yeah, except in some real rare cases (or pure ritual, which has its own ingrained strengths from lifetimes of use), avoid most of the religiously toned solutions.
...yeah, you can tell this'll be a mess already, can't you? *g*
