Herbal Philosophy and Spiritual Practices :

1. Magical/ Shamanic :--
Almost all non-modern societies recognize this kind of use. The practitioner is regarded as endowed with powers that allow him to use herbs in a way that it is hidden from the average person and the herbs are said to affect the Spirit of the person.

2. The Energetic :--
This approach includes the major systems of TCM, Ayurveda etc. Herbs are regarded as having actions in terms of their energies and affecting the energies of the body. The practitioner may be having extensive training and ideally be sensitive to energy but need not have supernatural powers.

3. The Functional Dynamic :--
Herbs have a functional action, which is not necessarily linked to a physical compound, although often to a physiological function, but there is no explicit recourse to concepts involving energy.

4. The Chemical :--
Modern practitioners called Phytotherapists attempt to explain herb actions in terms of their chemical constituents. It is generally assumed that the specific combination of Secondary Metabolites in the plants are responsible for the activity claimed.  

The 3 Great Cosmic Forces :

1. Energy/ life
2. Light/ radiance
3. Cohesion/ love
