This way, all that was broken slowly starts to repair itself, thanks to the innate self-healing powers that inhabit our body (the Ippocratic <em>Vis medicatrix naturae<\/em>) and the whole our being becomes fully functional again, in perfect integrity and &#8220;self-governance&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p>Plants are complex beings, so much that the remedies obtained from them are able to act upon all the contitutional levels of Man.
