medication on reputation of the past time and individuals.
The parts that make up the world of plants which are used are: Roots, Barks, Twigs, Bulbs, Corms, Rhizomes, Styles, Stigmas, Fruit seed Juice, Tubers, Herbs, Leaves and Flowers. Supposedly all herbs have a( teleological) identification given by the Creator, and have been called“ The Doctrine of Signatures”, which indicate the use for which they were intended. Thus a heart-shaped leaf should be used for the heart, the liver leaf, with its three-lobed leaf, for the liver, the walnut as a brain tonic, and so similar shaped plants were named for specific organs of the human body.
We are not suggesting that you make a test project from every leaf, flower or root with this significance, although some of the known plants for bodily correction do correspond this way. There are also plants that do not resemble a part of the body, but have corrective influence over a certain function. Dandelion root has always been used for the liver, but in no way does the signature doctrine apply. Perhaps in the beginning the resembling plants were planned for our associated awareness, the remaining encouraged by experience. If this is how it was indeed, planned the Indians of all lands displayed noteworthy wisdom before ever a word had been written.
From the first method of analysing herbs to present-day techniques much insight has been obtained as to their content. Much is still unknown, and no doubt many creations will never be fathomed, as the study of goodness and simplicity are indisputably united and often inconceivable. Natural medicine is timeless, it is among the first of creation, and it is as new as today. The past is very rich-the future is promising with all of our scientific“ modern discovery of forgotten truths”.
