Chapter 8 

The healing herbs are those which have been given the power
to help us preserve our personality 

Just as God in His mercy has given us food to eat, so has He placed amongst the herbs of the fields beautiful plants to heal us when we are sick. These are there to extend a helping hand to man in those dark hours of forgetfulness when he loses sight of his Divinity, and allows the cloud of fear or pain to obscure his vision. 

Such herbs are: 

CHICORY    Chichorium intybus 

MIMULUS    Mimulus luteus 

AGRIMONY    Agrimonia eupatoria 

SCLERANTHUS    Scleranthus annuus 

CLEMATIS    Clematis vitalba 

CENTAURY    Erythraea centaurium 

GENTIAN    Gentiana amarella 

VERVAIN    Verbena officianalis 

CERATO    Ceratostigma willmottiana 

IMPATIENS    Impatiens royalei 

ROCKROSE    Helianthemum vulgare 

WATERVIOLET    Hottonia palustris 

Each herb corresponds with one of the qualities, and its purpose is to strengthen that quality so that the personality may rise above the fault that is the particular stumbling block. 

The following table will indicate the quality, the fault, and the remedy which aids the personality to dispel that fault. 

The remedies are endowed with a definite healing power quite apart from faith, neither does their action depend upon the one who administers them, just as a sedative sends a patient to sleep whether given by the nurse or the doctor.
