Here is a list of the herbs and flower remedies used in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time:

make sure that you use logical herbs in relation to your character. An Aiel Wise One will not be using herbs that grow only on Tremalking or administer a brew known only to the Seanchan. Use your common sense.
When in doubt, check with the Staff. This is especially important for those using herbal classes or training for raising or promotion.
