From a magical perspective, Paul Beyerl's "The Master Book of Herbalism" and "A Compendium of Herbal Magic" are two excellent resources. Rosemary Gladstar has a great website called "The Science and Art of Herbology" which is chock full of good information. Herbs are an important part of Cassie's practice in the movie and she uses them to heal naturally. Her article "Queen of Hungary Water: some experiments in perfumery provided the information for the distillation for the episode.
Jadwiga Zajaczkowa/Jenne Heise has a great page called Herbalism, Medieval, Magickal and Modern which has great info on herbs in the Medieval period. The book has a recipe for "Queen of Hungary's Water which I mention in the episode.
The movie begins with a mysterious woman creating a concoction from a personal recipe/spell book and although the identity of the woman is not shown, we know it's Cassandra Nightingale.
