What we may consider magical today does not jell with how it was often perceived of in the middle ages; we have somehow put a spin of fantasy on it. Presently, "magic" is a cloudy and elusive word for natural remedies in most instances. Still, it may not even matter what it is called. Sometimes, "magic" works, and it can be a spectacle to gaze at, even if there is a precise and technical reason rooted in science.
A plethora of herbs, minerals, and roots, for instance, provide positive things for health and good living. The everyday practitioner of "magic" would not likely dispute this or the natural qualities of these items.
Other forms of supposed magic that can be attributed to natural phenomenon are based around proven Earth energies. Some believe that certain stones that hold slight magnetic properties can quell headaches, stomach aches or other maladies. Similarly, there are other branches of magic that claim to have the secrets to healing properties but borrow from modern medicine. A good example of this can be seen in certain "healing spells" that require darkly lit rooms, the lighting of candles and a meditative silence. While these elements are certainly calming, it is also worth pointing out that these magic spells also call for warm water, jasmine oil and Epsom salt (all, of course, naturally proven remedies for aches and pains).
Many practices that are considered "magic spells" by the practitioners are really nothing more than natural remedies to a variety of ailments. The only difference is that with magic spells, there is a sense of spirituality to it with the addition of candles, indication and prayers.
While there may be something to be said for the calming and mostly positive ideas behind such magic spells, it is usually safer and more effective to rely on traditional medical advise.
