Description
The Spiritual Heart is described in both Chinese and Unani traditional medical systems as the seat of the conscious mind, of cognitive awareness, and is connected to various psychological and emotional states. Both systems have an extended materia medica to help those in states of stress, trauma, agitation, and disconnectedness find balance and a centered awareness. Over a period of more than 20 years at the North American Institute of Medical Herbalism, we developed this category of Western herbs, incorporating North American plants with the traditional Heart remedies of these systems.
