The protection grants several benefits. Creatures of those types have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. If the target is already charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature, the target has advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect.
The Witches bottle is an old charm which has been found in the foundations of many old homes. It is a protective charm against nearly any negative energies, turning aside spells sent your way or general negativity that might harm you, your family, or your home. Typically the bottle would be stuffed with any sharp items such as nail clippings, pins and needles, thorns, broken glass, or anything which could potentially cause a person harm. Other protective items could also be added such as garlic, a tried and true repellent of evil. Sometimes distasteful items were added to the mix such as faeces or urine. If the maker of the charm knew who was trying to harm them, they might try to get a hold of some personal item of their enemy to add to the bottle. Then the bottle would typically be buried in the foundations of the house. The location of the bottle varies, but most sources tend to suggest a northern placement of the bottle.
