Jan 23 to Dec 23
Overview
Dr Rajan Sankaran, the pioneer in exploring the Plant Kingdom, traced the common sensations of each plant family and showed how each remedy in the family shares this common sensation, but differs from the others because of the miasm it falls in. This work was further expanded by Michal Yakir, a botanist & homeopath. She systematically classified plant families using the Cronquist system based on evolution of plants from primitive ones to the more sophisticated one mapping them according to development of human individual ego Dr Mahesh Gandhi later integrated this knowledge of sensation,
Yakir’s Flowering Plant Chart & his personal understanding of Erik Erikson’s developmental model. His correspondence with the Mineral (Periodic) Table make Plants more alive than ever. We now have a thorough understanding for all the major Plant groups including Dicotyledons, Monocotyledons and Ancient Plants.
Why Study GROUPS IN HOMEOPATHY
Is a remedy or a patient only a random collection of symptoms? Does Pulsatilla mean symptoms, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6? Or is a patient just a collection of aggravation from fat, desire for warmth and chilly. Is this the patient and is that the remedy?
When we dwell deep on this question, we come to an understanding that each remedy actually belongs to a group. No remedy is random. Each remedy has a particular essence, a particular nature, a particular quality that actually comes from its source from which it comes.
The symptoms are an expression of it’s innate nature but they are only its expression, not the remedy. The remedy itself is the spirit of the source from which it comes.
Core issues in Plants
Sensitivity, Reactivity, Basic sensation and the opposite Adaptability
Once it is apparent that the patient needs a remedy from the plant kingdom, how do we decide which one? Each Subclass (Column) on the Plant Charts (Dicots/Monocots/Ancient Plants) reflects the evolutionary core issues. The
Rows reflect how these core issues are dealt with i.e. coping mechanism as per Eric Ericson’s work. At this cross section in plant chart, one comes to a Plant Order. Within the Plant Order are individual families and remedies. One can narrow down the similimum with understanding of Sensations unique to the family, Miasms or a keynote symptom, or a rubric etc. This contemporary methodology of integrating classical & latest advancements in Plant Group thus is a holistic, practical & full-proof way to come to accurate plant prescriptions in your clinical practice.

SUBCLASS 1 (MAGNOLIDS) DICOTYLEDONS
Subclass 1 corresponds to the stage of human embryogenesis, which begins from the moment of fertilization until the formation of the fetus. Human embryogenesis is the process of cell division and cellular differentiation of the embryo. The embryo has no sense of separateness from the mother and exist in the feeling of one-ness with the mother. Ego is beginning to develop but is not really formed. Experience of chaos, confusion and disorder in life. E.g., Orders:- Laurales, Magnoliales, Piperales, Ranunculales E.g., Remedies:- Nux-M, Nuphar, Aconite, Asarum, Sanguinaria, Pulsatilla, Opium
SUBCLASS 2 (HAMAMELIDS) DICOTYLEDONS
Subclass 2 corresponds to time period from the third month after fertilization until the birth. It is the stage of the unborn offspring in the post-embryogenic period. Here there is a struggle to create a strong boundary for themselves. Ego ecomes more defined Issues coming up here are concerning limits, intrusion and physical problems that are related to the body’s boundaries. E.g., Orders:- Juglandales, Myricales, gales, amamelidales E.g., Remedies:- Cann-I, Jug-C, Myrica, Ulmus
SUBCLASS 3 (CARYOPHYLLIDS) DICOTYLEDONS
Subclass 3 corresponds to time of separation from the mother’s womb. This subclass represents the process of coming down and out of the womb. The womb is nowredundant, and it is restricting the child’s further growth. Feeling of contraction, suffocation and small. The opposite of that is ‘expansion ‘ and feeling bigger. The ‘coming out’ energy can be seen as the expression of masculine energy. E.g., Orders:- Cactaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Caryophyllaceae E.g., Remedies: Cact, Opuntia, Fagopyrum, Rumex
SUBCLASS 4 (DILLENIDS) DICOTYLEDONS
Subclass 4 is the stage of nutrition, and the close motherchild relation like the first year of life (infancy). The issues relevant to this subclass concerns the relationship between the mother and child and of mothering itself. It resembles the Natrum Line in the mineral kingdom. Here, most of the plants have to do with nutrition and all food products, supplying nurturing care in the basic necessities of life. E.g., Orders:- Theales, Malvales, Violales, Primulales E.g., Remedies:- Chocolate, Sarracenia, Drosera, Thalapsi
SUBCLASS 5 (ROSIDAE) DICOTYLEDONS
Subclass 5 corresponds to time when child begins his school life. Learns the concept of discipline and being respectful. There is development of Superego.
The focus is more on reaching common goals, building resources, work, protection and external organization.
This column corresponds to the Ferrum series of
development in the Mineral Kingdom.
E.g., Orders:- – Rosales, Fabales, Euphorbiales, Myrtales E.g., Remedies:- Ros-can, Baptisia, Croton-tig, Anac, Ruta
SUBCLASS 6 (ASTERIDAE) DICOTYLEDONS
Subclass 6 corresponds to time when individual relates to the group and the world at large. There is a strong Ego and conflict is about experiencing individuality versus having to protect the group.
This column corresponds to the Aurum series of development in the Mineral Kingdom. Issues related female hormones are predominant due to the excessive masculine force that overtakes the feminine qualities. E.g., Orders:- Solanales, Loganaceae, Rubiales E.g., Remedies:- Hyos, Abrot, Lavender, Nux-V, Ignatia, Coffea
MONOCOTYLEDONS
Monocotyledons are plants living in their “I” world. The Monocotyledons undergo a similar journey to Dicotyledons but in a less intricate manner. The first column of Monocotyledons has hardly any homeopathic importance with reference to remedies. The second column corresponds to the second column of dicotyledons. The third column of monocotyledons botanically does not exist. The fourth column is analogous in both groups. The last column corresponds to the fourth, fifth and sixth columns of the Dicotyledons. E.g., Orders:- Aricales, Graminales, Liliales etc. E.g., Remedies:- Lil Tig, Trit. Vul, Verat Alb etc
ANCIENT PLANTS
Ancient plants accompanied Earth during its evolution and even survived it’s extinction events. Yakir points out that the relation to extinctions is why ancient plant remedies are not just about beginning of life, innocence, unity & environmental incompatibility, but also about death, disasters, terminal illnesses & end of life- and how to survive them. We have several well known, newly proven & yet un-explored plant groups & remedies that are seedless & non-vascular like Mosses & Liver Worts, seedless & vascular like Lycopodiums, Equisetum & Ferns and Seed bearing, non-flowering gymnosperms like the Cycads, Ginkgo & Conifers (e.g. Gingko-biloba, Taxus Bacatta, Thuja, ANCIENT PLANTS Sabina) in this group.
