Species that associate with doctrine

signatures (group 2) It is one of the most methods that is used to determine the properties of plants,

And known as ,doctrine signatures . the basic idea is that the plants looks like tissue, organ

or disease for which it is remedial. So that the doctrine signatures is one of the articles of traditional herbalist which is most misunderstood by modern researchers. The idea that the shape or the color of

the plant should to reveal it’s properties smacks of, ,magical thinking, or thought by

association. (So that Plants may even communicate with eachother using scent signals)

the Doctrine of Signatures are a process whereby one recognizes and looks for the unique signs of a

flower’s identity. These indications, such as the shape, the colour, it’s habitat, it’s growing habits and so

on, characterize it and express its uniqueness as different to any other flower. For example, there is an

easily recognizable difference between a rose and a sunflower, not only in colour shape texture and

scent, but also in habitat, that is, where they best like to grow.

In the ancient days knowledge was passed on by word of mouth and hence the evolution of the doctrine

as a practical way of remembering the properties of medicinal plants from their habitat, form, flowers

and aspects of the physical structures in a time when books were not available and knowledge was

passed down by word of mouth.
