Abstract

The healing virtues of the vegetal kingdom have permeated the history of civilizations for a long time and are demonstrated by several usage contexts, from the simple nutrition of the body to the use of their chemical and energetic properties to restore the physical, psychic and spiritual health. A reflection on all the applications of the plants to benefit health led this article to discuss if the many properties (chemical and energetic) of Agrimony would be somehow similar to each other, and therefore likely to be used simultaneou¬sly in the holistic reestablishment of health. To do so, the indication of Agrimony as a Bach Flower and phytotherapeutic remedy was analyzed and discussed under the light of the Traditional Chinese Medicine, using information on its botanical and therapeutic characteristics obtained from botany and pharmacy books and encyclopedias, as well as from scientific levels. Therefore, the concomitant use of Agrimony as Bach Flower and as Phytotherapeutic remedy, may represent a good holistic approach to an individual bearing such a disharmonic pattern.
