A hex bag is a charm composed of a mixture of herbs, talismans, and other supernatural ingredients, placed in a piece of cloth and bound with leather. It is used to bring about a specific effect – usually, but not always, malicious. A hex bag intended to harm someone also contains a personal belonging of the intended victim (usually clothing).
Apparently the only ways to stop a hex bag are to find and burn it, have the witch casting the spell break it, or cast a powerful counter-spell. When a hex bag is burned, the flames become a bright blue.
In thetie-in book Supernatural: Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting, it is stated that the hex bags used to shield against demons and angels contain two bones from a chicken's foot, an unbroken spider egg, equal quantities of lavender and hemp, and goofer dust.
Episodes

Hex bags are used to kill several ritual sacrifices. The bag is made from a Samhain talisman, gold thread (an extinct plant), and the charred metacarpal bone of a newborn baby. One of the hex bags is placed in the wall of Sam and Dean's hotel room. It is found by Castiel and Uriel, who appear to have neutralized it by the time Sam and Dean arrive.
After the ritual requiring the sacrifices is completed, Samhain is raised, breaking one of the 66 Seals.

When Crowley threatens to kill Sarah Blake, Dean and Sam arrive to protect her. While Dean demon proofs the place, Sam catches up with Sarah and finds out that she is married and has a daughter. Crowley calls a few seconds before the deadline and starts to count down to Sarah's planned death, which prompts the boys and Sarah to arm themselves and wait for Crowley to appear. After Crowley finishes counting, Sarah suddenly collapses and starts to choke to death. Sam, realizing that Crowley is using a spell that involves a hex bag, starts to hurriedly search for it but to no avail. Sarah then dies and Dean in anger chucks the phone against a wall; it breaks apart, revealing that the hex bag was in the phone all along.

Crowley continues his plan of killing the people that Sam and Dean have saved over the years, this time posing as a man named Roderick on a blind date with Jody Mills.

Crowley gets a phone call from the Winchesters, wanting to make a deal, just in time to save Jody's life.
