Why medicinal plants require knowledge?
Medicinal herbs work through the synergy of active substances such as flavonoids, essential oils and bitter substances. This is precisely why it is important to understand the context, dosage and method of administration. Not every plant is universal and not every application is the same.
If you knew most of the answers without thinking, you probably have an experiential connection to nature. If you had to analyze your options, you approach health rationally and systematically. This ApA brain teaser helps you identify your own thinking style.
