Nick has called her a witch before and Renard made a reference to Adalind's mother being the Evil Queen who was a witch as well. But what is a Hexenbiest's true powers? They can make potions but Roselee has made lots of potions too. There seems to be a disconnet about what a Hexenbiest can truly do because they seem to be feared wessen yet we haven't seen why. Apart from their combat skills, Adalind took out a street gang alone in Season1, and Catherine was able to go toe-toe with Kelly for a while.

Their potion knowledge may be something that they guard carefully and using misdirection convince people that they are using magic, when it is a potion they unkowingly injested earlier. My reasoning for this is that Adalind made the L'espirit Ailleus she had lost her powers. I would agree they have super strength but don't a lot of Wessen have enhanced strength as well like Monroe when he woges? I think their potion knowledge is very powerful asset and like you said probably kept secret amongst Hexenbiester. I think as long as the hexenbiest(with or without the spirit) knows what goes into the potion it will work but I would guess(and i could be wrong) they know many ancient potions. I hope the next few episodes explain their powers a bit better.
