Gray nicker is excellent to remove negativity from the body. It has the ability to remove unwanted energy from the person using it as a spiritual bath.

As a Talisman:
The Bean can be enchanted by an experienced Conjurer to protect the owner of the bean. The bean has protective energy. I use a branch at my door entrance to ward away bad influences. After a few days I discard the branch to a remote location where I will not visit for a long time. Please understand that energy can not be destroyed.but changed. leaving negative charged objects in public places allows the negative energy to attach to another person walking by it. If this same person is vibrating at its same frequency. It is best to discard in remote locations or in oceans or rivers where the energy can be cleanse by nature.
Omerio:
This herb is a principal herb in the Omerio of Orisa/Osha. There are some convents which choose not to added it to the Omerio. but this is an error. The fear is that the thorns will affect the Iyawo in his life. The proper way to use the herb is to smash it in the Mortar or pillon. Its extract is then added to the source omerio. This herb is used to remove negative energy from a person this includes the newly born Iyawo. When a person commits to follow orisa his old life style is to be removed and forgotten a new beginning starts. The word Iyawo means Bride as a new bride to his or her Orisa he follows the rules and advise of the spouse.
