“The greater their identification with the body, the less human they are. Hence, the greater their suffering. The less identified one is with their body, the greater their human identification must be; nobler, more spiritual, more one’s own, and more objective toward everything. No example exists of an ideal humanity, spirituality, or nobility that is not comprised of overcoming one’s egocentric identification with their body and ego.” Samkhya, Ivan Antic

The allopathic herbal trap.

We treat people that have symptoms and diseases. Not the other way . So, you on the plant path DOESNT treat the disease.

Who is the whole person? And how can one align that to the whole plant. Just as plants have the ecosystem they grow in and tell us what they help, our bodies have ecosystems. One persons ecosystems are not going to be like anothers. Regardless of how a doctor says” oh you need an expectorant ! Well but is the doctor paying attention to the whole person and their ecosystems energetics, and the body’s intelligence ?

What are the energetics of the symptoms ? Ie cough… they are all different .

Licorice, elecampane, osha -warm dry, lobelia, marshmallow -cool moist … but which one. And how is that persons constitution? Furthermore is the symptom you are treating long term or short term, because this can change how you use plant medicine .

What is the pattern in the plant to match the person? Getting to the Root of it all…

if you suppress (ie. Fever) the body intelligence for temporary relief…. This is not healing. This is the danger of allopathic medicine which includes allopathic herbalism . Just as you cannot give the cough the same medicine as another that you always see at the store? You have to know the persons patterns with the symptoms .

Symptoms (fever, cough) help us heal and help us read the body/ mind for giving healing

Just some thoughts today on the plant path

Cleavers loves to grow and get paired with nettles medicinally.

Decreased Kapha and pitta

It’s best to use it fresh with preparation. Dried is not useful. Succuus works. Freeze it in cubes. Great in alterative formulas and female growth issues. Clearing the malas, waste products.

As I study through Ayurveda and clinical/ alchemy herbalism, I will post as well as honor teachers.

Venusian plant with its diuretic and Pisces with lymphatic

For women going through negative relationships and need to clear the waters with Venus. Cleavers is dependent on relationships in nature. The essence of cleavers is good for that. Encouraging clarity in relationships

Plants medicine is for physical, emotional/psychological, energetic with its dharma

Thank you Sajah! Your study helps me a great deal

Sometimes big medicine comes in the form of a small plant. Cleavers is one of those plants; humble and unassuming, yet a potent and highly useful remedy. It’...

Evidence suggests to***co was growing in North America by 6,000 BCE, and smoking to***co leaves may have been practiced on the continent for 2,300 years. However, the leaf smoked by the North Americans, Nicotiana Rustica, was bitter. Rolfe brought seeds from the more desirable South American species, Nicotiana Tabacum, to Jamestown. No one knows where he got such seeds. …….. “A custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose,” was King James I’s view of smoking to***co but this small seed saved Virginia. Colonist John Rolfe brought the seeds of sweeter to***co to Jamestown in 1610, and from this microscopic item came the first major crop of the English Atlantic trade. By the end of the 17th century, hundreds of ships left England each year to transport to***co leaves. - taken from historical Jamestown. ………. I have been thinking about this lately for John Rolfe was the person Pocahontas was forced to marry after being kidnapped. How might she have helped John cultivate and nurture and dry!! to***co that would this sustain Virginia’s early economy. This plant is so pervasive in our culture yet few fully understand it’s complexities and it’s nature. It’s a beautiful - sticky and alluring plant that has woven into its capacity the ability to facilitate communicate with the spirit world - painting by Mauro Reategui - I do think there is much to be explored with in the conservation and need I say ⚠️……

Mantras… have great vibratory force. Repeating them aloud or mentally — with sincere feeling,
intelligent understanding, and intense concentration and determination to persevere until Divine
contact is actually felt — produces distinct results; body and mind are charged with power as their
vibratory rate is heightened. – Paramahansa Yogananda
