Honoring Nature’s Intelligence: Seeking Permission From Plants and Trees Before Collecting Them For Medicinal Purpose

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, has been using plants and trees as medicine for thousands of years. In Ayurveda, plants are considered living beings with their own consciousness and intelligence. They are believed to have a spirit or deva, which needs to be respected and acknowledged before using any part of the plant for medicinal purposes. The practice of seeking permission from plants and trees before using them as medicine is an integral part of Ayurveda.

According to Ayurveda, all plants and trees have their own unique medicinal properties, which can be harnessed for healing. However, before using any plant, it is essential to first connect with its spirit and seek its permission. This is done by offering a prayer or a mantra to the plant or tree spirit, thanking it for its gift of healing and asking for its blessings.

The practice of seeking permission from plants and trees in Ayurveda is based on the principle of ahimsa or non-violence. It is believed that every living being has its own consciousness and should be treated with respect and compassion. By seeking permission from the plant or tree spirit, we are acknowledging the interconnectedness of all life and the importance of treating all living beings with kindness.

In Ayurveda, the practice of seeking permission is not limited to medicinal plants and trees. It is also applied to the use of fruits, vegetables, and grains in food. Before using any food item, it is customary to offer a prayer of gratitude to the spirit of the plant or grain and seek its blessings. This is believed to enhance the nutritional value of the food and promote overall health and well-being.

The practice of seeking permission from plants and trees is not just a ritual in Ayurveda. It has practical implications as well. By acknowledging the spirit of the plant or tree, we are more likely to use it in a sustainable and responsible manner. We are also more likely to develop a deeper connection with nature, which can lead to a greater appreciation of the natural world.

In conclusion, the ancient Ayurvedic practice of seeking permission from plants and trees before using them as medicine is a way of honoring the interconnectedness of all life and promoting sustainable practices in the use of plant medicine. It is a reminder of the importance of treating all living beings with respect and compassion. As interest in Ayurveda and plant medicine grows, the practice of seeking permission is a valuable reminder of the ancient wisdom of this traditional system of medicine.
