Psyche
The soul knows its own weather conditions — tension and calm, darkness and light, retreat and departure. Medicinal plants for the psyche accompany these inner movements with the power of the plant’s essence.
Nervousness, insomnia, low mood, inner restlessness — the psyche speaks many languages, and it cannot be reduced to a chemical formula. Medicinal plants approach it on a level that reaches deeper than pure active substances: they carry an essence.
Three Phases of the Psyche
According to the signatura doctrine of Roger Kalbermatten, psychological processes can be divided into three phases — development, preservation, and metamorphosis. Every person passes through these phases repeatedly, and each calls for different support. Plants often have a clear association to one of these phases in their form and essence.
The soul is a garden — and every plant within it has its own time.
Plants for the psyche do not act against the soul, but with it. They do not take over — they accompany. And they open spaces in which transformation becomes possible.
