PLANT
MODULE
Jan’23 to Dec’23
Dr. Preety Shah Dr. Prajakta Vaidya Dr. Reni Shah
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.
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?
Why Study
When we dwell deep on this question, we come to an understanding
GROUPS
that each remedy actually belongs to a group. No remedy is random.
IN Each remedy has a particular essence, a particular nature, a
HOMEOPATHY 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.
Once it is apparent that the patient needs a remedy from the plant kingdom,
Core issues in how do we decide which one? Each Subclass (Column) on the Plant Charts
Plants (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
Sensitivity Order. Within the Plant Order are individual families and remedies. One can
Reactivity narrow down the similimum with understanding of Sensations unique to the
Basic sensation family, Miasms or a keynote symptom, or a rubric etc.
and the opposite
Adaptability 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 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.
SUBCLASS 1 E.g., Orders:- Laurales, Magnoliales, Piperales, Ranunculales
(MAGNOLIDS) E.g., Remedies:- Nux-M, Nuphar, Aconite, Asarum,
DICOTYLEDONS Sanguinaria, Pulsatilla, Opium
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 becomes 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, Fagales, Hamamelidales
SUBCLASS 2
E.g., Remedies:- Cann-I, Jug-C, Myrica, Ulmus
(HAMAMELIDS)
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 now
redundant, 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
SUBCLASS 3 E.g., Remedies:- Cact, Opuntia, Fagopyrum, Rumex
(CARYOPHYLLIDS)
DICOTYLEDONS
Subclass 4 is the stage of nutrition, and the close mother-
child 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.
SUBCLASS 4
E.g., Orders:- Theales, Malvales, Violales, Primulales
(DILLENIDS) E.g., Remedies:- Chocolate, Sarracenia, Drosera, Thalapsi
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.
SUBCLASS 5
(ROSIDAE) E.g., Orders:- - Rosales, Fabales, Euphorbiales, Myrtales
E.g., Remedies:- Ros-can, Baptisia, Croton-tig, Anac, Ruta
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.
SUBCLASS 6 E.g., Orders:- Solanales, Loganaceae, Rubiales
E.g., Remedies:- Hyos, Abrot, Lavender, Nux-V, Ignatia,
(ASTERIDAE)
Coffea
DICOTYLEDONS
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.
MONOCOTYLEDONS
E.g., Orders:- Aricales, Graminales, Liliales etc.
E.g., Remedies:- Lil Tig, Trit. Vul, Verat Alb etc.
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.
