Introduction to Working with Plant Folk

· Plants do not only possess a body that has specific compounds.

o   They also have a soul, and it should be addressed.

o   This should be used hand in hand with their physical properties.

· People used to wear plants as protection and healing amulets.

o   This is an internal method which focuses on the spirit of the plant, as it is not an internal application (tea) nor a topical application (salve).

• This was meant to bring harmony to the entire energy field of the sick person.

· The plant’s energy is absorbed by the person.

· The plant can help the body remember how it feels when it is in balance and harmony with itself.

o   This encourages the body to achieve and maintain homoeostasis.
