This chart shows the twelve basic categories of herbs and their energetic relationships. This chart utilizes an energetic system based on the concept of yin and yang and the Western four-element model. The front of the chart explains the characteristics, energetics, constituents, and properties of each category. The back gives profiles of 47 commonly used herbal remedies.
You can order the charts from Simplee Natural or on Amazon.
The twelve basic categories of herbs are also discussed in the books Modern Herbal Dispensatory and Strategies for Health, and in my free class, A System of Universal Energetics.
