Nature supports healing on both an energetic and physical level. The secrets of medicinal plants can be studied, learned, and consciously applied in natural healing. The effectiveness of herbs and healing plants depends on two essential elements that determine how many active substances they actually contain.
First, it is necessary to know exactly which properties of the plant are to be used and which specific part of the plant is needed. Sometimes it is the root, sometimes the leaf, flower, seed, or bark. Only the correctly chosen part of the medicinal plant can provide the desired healing effect.
Second, the moment of harvest is crucial so that the plant contains the maximum amount of active substances and healing compounds. This depends on both the time of day and the season of the year. Some plants must be picked at night, others in the early morning, and some can be harvested at almost any time.
Certain herbs are collected according to weather conditions and air humidity. Others must be harvested during flowering, at the second flowering, or only after flowering has finished. Respecting these natural rhythms significantly increases the quality and effectiveness of herbal remedies, teas, and tinctures.
Many of the medicinal plants and herbal mixtures available for purchase do not follow these traditional principles, which is understandable when everything is done on an industrial scale. Mass production often ignores the ideal harvest time and the correct parts of the plant. As a result, a search for a truly healing herbal tea can easily end with a simple cup of boiled water with dry straw instead of a potent natural remedy.

Unlike leaves, which like children go to bed with the last rays of the sun and wake up at the first blink of dawn, flowers present much more diverse situations.
