Formulas to elaborate your spells and potions

We can receive infinite gifts of nature from plants. Some are purely specific and quantifiable, such as the alleviation of symptoms or disease. Others, on the other hand, belong to a more indeterminate field. At what point do we cross boundaries and begin to attribute symbolic or spiritual qualities to plants? From using them to «heal» symptoms and illnesses to curing other needs?
