IntroductionPlant theory 2 is the second stage of the development of the
Plant theory. It is still in development. The purpose is to correlate a plant species to every Remedy code that exits in the plant theory.
DevelopmentThe first version of the
Plant theory was published in Wonderful
Plants in 2013. Since then a lot of new information has been gathered and many new remedies have been applied homeopatically with success. Much information has been confirmed, but also much information turned out to be not good enough to come to good prescription.
ExampleA good example is the family
Aizoaceae, which was unknown in homeopathy. Some pictures were presented in
Wonderful plants, but there were no case to confirm the proving data.
Aizoaceae was placed in
Aizoales in
Phase 2 and
Subphase 2. That did not give many good prescription over the years. A new analysis led to the idea of splitting the other families in
Aizoales off, and split the big family
Aizoaceae in 7 subfamilies, each in one of the
Subphases. This was done with the few reasonable to good case and other information, as is shown below. This has given the development of the
Aizoaceae a big push. Many good cases resulted form this change.
The result is that
Aizoaceae are the only family is AIzioales, that they have become identical. Or otherwise siad:
Aizoaceae is raised to the level of Order. The subfamilies of AIzoaceae are functionally raised to the level of family. Some subfamilies are well established like Mesmebryanthemoideae and Delopermoideae. Others like Ruschoideae are less precisely delimited. The placement in
Stages is in development.
InformationInformation that is used for this classification in stages is:
1. Homeopathic information.
2. Information of use as herbs in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese medicine and herbology.
3. Botanical information: type of plant, habitat, region, forms, chemistry.
4.
Taxonomy information: subfamilies; relationship, DNA analyses.
5. Image information: impression.
