Learn about traditional medicinal herbs, and herbs as food. Taken further, organic matter is an energy interference pattern interfacing with our own bodily and environmental patterns.

Tips are in the physical structure of plant healing properties. Thus, plants from harsh climates, or those that have thick, impenetrable skins, or spikes, are more likely to have healing properties.

Distillations, powders, mixtures, oils and concentrations of common tree leaves, bark, roots, flowers, nuts, seeds, historically have been relied on as potent and effective treatments for the body. Think in terms of co-evolution of millions of years. Trees sustained ape-like human ancestors, so there is a high degree of synchronicity and symbiotic chemistry likely.
