Wolfsbane wouldn't be considered magical as it affects werewolves in any form: Flower, bullet, liquid, gas, blade coating. We have plenty of examples on the uses of aconite. Mountain ash not so much. So far the only way it's affect the supernatural community is a barrier and its ability to reject the supernatural from the body when ingested both of which were in a refined state. Does Mountain Ash have the same effect in plant form as it does when it's refined? Legend says it wards off the supernatural but all it would take is one gap in the ward and they could walk through. The refined form gives a complete 'no passing' zone but that brings the question: coiuld just anyone put it down and stop the supernatural or does it take someone with knowledge or belief of the supernatural to make it work?

@Fused Isn't a the big question. Are shapeshifters the product of magic, evolution, environment, a genetic defect? It could be any number of things and it would be different between each person.
