Explanation 

Herbs come from the leaves of a plant that are used for flavoring, food, or medicine and  can be found either fresh or dried, chopped or whole. 

• Spices are made from aromatic seeds, bark, flowers, and roots of plants that have been dried and crushed. Spices tend to be stronger in flavor because they are made from crushed portions that are especially rich in essential oils. 
• All Herbs and spices have their own unique vibration.
• The use of healing herbs can be dated back to 3000 B.C.
• Some properties of herbs and spices include:
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Anti-bacterial
  • Antispasmodic
• Use the decoding process to identify which herb(s) or spice(s) your body wants.

Decoding 

Step 1: 

Ask: Is the herb/spice in Column A, or C?

• If yes, it is in Column A, or C. 
• If no, it is in Column B, or D.
  • Move to Step 2 when you have your answer.

Step 2: 

For A, or C, ask: Is it in Column A?

• If yes, move to Step 3. 
• If no, ask: Is it in Column C?
  • If yes, move to Step 3. 

For B, or D, ask: Is it in Column B? 

• If yes, move to Step 3. 
• If no, it is in column D. Move to Step 3.

Step 3: 

Ask: Is it in an Odd Row?

• If yes, it is in an Odd Row (1, 3, or 5).
• If no, it is in an Even Row (2, 4, or 6).
  • Move to Step 4 when you have your answer.

Step 4:

For Odd, ask: Is it in Row 1? (Name odd rows one by one).

For Even, ask: Is it in Row 2? (Name even rows one by one).

• Move to Step 5 when you have your answer.

Step 5:

Ask: Is it ______? 

• Name each herb/spice in that box, one by one. A strong answer indicates a yes answer. 
• Move to Association.
• If it is not possible to obtain this herb/spice locally, repeat the Decoding process to identify the next best herb/spice for the body. 

Association 

Ask: Is there an associated imbalance that can be decoded?

• If no, move to Intention. 
• If yes, return to the home page, decode and address any associated imbalance(s), then return here and repeat the above question. 

Intention 

Add the herb/spice to your diet, using common sense and moderation.

• Consult your healthcare provider or a herbalist with any concerns or questions.
• All herbs must be used with caution. Some herbs can be toxic in high doses, some can induce abortion, some can interfere with certain medications, etc. 
• The subconscious is indicating that something from the above is needed in order to achieve better balance. It is always important to give this subconscious wisdom and communication the importance it deserves, as doing so may facilitate a more complete and efficient recovery process.
