Stop taking all those herbs!! You might be doing more damage than good.

In the ever-evolving dialogue on inflammation remedies, turmeric and Willow Bark emerge as distinct players, each offering its unique approach to wellness. Turmeric, often hailed as a go-to remedy, possesses drying, heating qualities that radiate warmth and contribute to liver detoxification. However, it's crucial to recognize that turmeric isn't a universal solution; its efficacy varies among individuals. Seeking personalized advice from a healthcare professional becomes imperative in navigating its potential benefits.

Expanding our toolkit for inflammation, Willow Bark takes the stage, introducing a cooling effect that stands in stark contrast to turmeric's characteristics. While turmeric brings warmth and aids in drying out excess fluids, Willow Bark takes a different route by supporting liver detoxification with its cooling nature. The choice between these remedies isn't arbitrary; it hinges on understanding an individual's constitution.

Constitution, defined by elemental polarities such as hot/cold and wet/dry, serves as the foundation for comprehending personal energetics. This makeup encompasses physical appearance, predispositions to illnesses, and various factors like weight retention, mental health tendencies, and the broader spectrum of diseases within the body. Environmental influences, genetic makeup, and even astrological natal charts contribute valuable insights to one's constitution. It's this intricate understanding that guides the selection of plants to restore balance and promote holistic well-being.

In contrast to the one-size-fits-all paradigm of Western medicine, herbalism introduces a more nuanced perspective. Rather than treating symptoms with generic solutions, true healing involves discerning the energetic interplay between a plant or food and the individual it serves. Factors such as age, gender, occupation, and life stage become pivotal in crafting effective herbal remedies. This personalized approach aims to achieve genuine healing by assessing energetic compatibility and tailoring support to an individual's unique constitution.

As we venture into the intricate realm of healing, it becomes apparent that embracing personalized, holistic perspectives is paramount. In the pursuit of well-being, the synergy between turmeric, Willow Bark, and an individual's constitution paves the way for a more intentional and effective approach to managing inflammation and fostering genuine healing.

Enter medical astrology, where your natal chart acts as a blueprint, linking planets to specific plants and foods. This holistic approach goes beyond guesswork, providing targeted formulations instead of overwhelming the system with multiple herbs. The result? Personalized plans that sensitize the system, reestablish health, and save time and money in the quest for genuine healing.

All medicine- all healing modalities come down to energetics. When we are able to utilize these tools in an integrated approach we can be empowered to use plants for not only physical transformation- but tap into the subconscious effect they have on our behaviors, moods, and qualities of relationship to the world around us.
