Just for interest, it is a remarkable fact that if you have three or four plants, you can make a surprising, varied array of medicines from just mixing them in different togethernesses and in varying proportions. With just lavender, peppermint and Roman chamomile, for example, you can make so many different medicines, for headaches, muscle pains, dental problems, pox, and the list goes on. Change something in the mix and you’ve got another application.
The flexibility and responsiveness of plants in connection with each other is inspiring. I wish for people that we might emulate these life forms in this one regard: they seem to adjust for each other and to make some degree of harmony or usefulness out of moving their energy flows into sync. The funny thing is that even looking at this coldly, unromantically, these are cooperations and harmonies.
