I have been seeing a practitioner of Plant Spirit Medicine for 3 sessions now. She trained and worked with Eliot Cowan for years; he is often credited with bringing the knowledge of Plant Spirit Medicine to the attention of the West (Indigenous peoples have been practicing plant spirit medicine in the Americas for thousands of years, but Westerners, AKA non-indigenous peoples, knew next to nothing about it.) Cowan's book, "Plant Spirit Medicine, The Healing Power of Plants", is a favorite of mine. At the time I first read it, I had never heard of Plant Spirit Medicine. Following are brief explanations of plant spirit medicine. Follow the links for more in-depth information.

"What is Plant Spirit Medicine? Humans and plants have lived together for countless generations. We are family. Our plant relatives are generous and helpful, offering us food and medicine. Like us, plants have spirit, and their spirit can nurture and heal us. Plant Spirit Medicine brings us into balance and harmony. It is the shaman’s way with plants. A millennial practice known to all peoples, it was rediscovered in the West by Eliot Cowan, and has proved just as effective in today’s world as in times past." http://www.bluedeer.org/psm.html


"What is Plant Spirit Medicine?
Plant Spirit Medicine touches the deepest part of your soul and restores your body, mind, and spirit into harmony and balance. You have spent your life up until now creating many experiences that might have brought on illness, stress, depression, physical problems, emotional and spiritual disconnection, and other conditions. It can take a while for the plants to touch all of your life's experiences and bring balance to your body, mind and spirit. It is like peeling a spiritual onion. Each life experience may have many layers to it.

Plant Spirit Medicine calls on the use of Five Element Chinese Theory, Household Shamanism, and connection to the Plant Spirits. Just as an aloe vera plant might help to soothe a burn, the spirit of a plant can help to soothe your spirit. Plant Spirit Medicine treats you at your core essence and works it way out into your spirit, mind and body. Treating symptoms is not the purpose of Plant Spirit Medicine, yet symptoms can and often do get addressed.

The five elements are Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire. Each person has a divine aspect of each of the five elements. You also have one of the five that seems to resonate more than the others. This is an aspect of your core essence and your ability to heal.

If you want to learn more about Plant Spirit Medicine, I suggest that you read the book by Teacher/Author Eliot Cowan titled Plant Spirit Medicine. Eliot Cowan and Alison Gayek also teach a Plant Spirit Medicine Practitioner Training Course that I highly recommend. The experience of this class alone will deeply impact your life.

"What each Plant Spirit does is unique. In Plant Spirit Medicine, we are trained to determine what each one specializes in by taking an underground(shamanic)journey to the Spirit of the Plant in question. In trance, we ask our power animal to take us to the Spirit of a particular plant.

When we are taken there, we respectfully introduce ourselves, say that we are from the Upper World, that we are there to learn about that Plant Spirit's medicine in order to help Humanity. The Plant Spirits are generous and most often cooperate. After establishing a relationship with a certain Plant Spirit, we bring back that knowledge into the Upper World and use it in a clinical setting."
