Over the next week or so I will post snipetts on how to select an herb in relation to body type.
Our first step is understanding our constitution. Constitution is the larger pattern a person tends to carry in their body, digestion, energy, stress response, sleep, skin, emotions, and seasonal rhythm. One way of several to understand your constitution is to understand your Dosha.
In herbalism we must understand what body system we want to affect, primary action you would like to solve, the energetic quality of herbs, and the cautions for preexisting conditions or allergies before we select an herb to use. Undertsanding Doshas is a good stepping ground.
What is your Dosha? Post below with the nearest city to you or state if you are shy... Climate also affects the herb choices...
