All of life is born from water: from the mythological primordial ocean to the evolutionary-biology view that life originated in the waters, to the cosmological perspective of God separating the waters from heaven and Earth. All mammals grow within the womb's embryonic fluids, and as birth begins, the water breaks and touches the Earth. Life is utterly dependent on water, but how do we work with the Water element in herbalism?
In this post, we're exploring the Water element in herbal medicine and how it manifests in people and plants.
Here's what you'll learn:
How the Water element manifests in traditional herbal medicine, medical astrology, and Ayurvedic healing systems
The unique roles of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces as expressions of nourishment, purification, and spiritual connection within the Water element
How the Water element influences key body systems, including the reproductive system, mucosal membranes, lymphatics, and organs of elimination
The defining characteristics of Water element herbs, including their morphology, tastes, affinities, actions, and energetics
How to identify Water element plants, and examples such as Marshmallow, Cleavers, Red Clover, White Pond Lily, and Horsetail
