The horsetails are closely related to ferns and both were common during the Carboniferous period (280-345 million years ago), when tree-sized horsetails and ferns occurred. https://pgmanski.blogspot.com/2022/09/vitalism-and-nausea.html

Vitalism, in Christ the king, herbs from the Virgin Mary how they inform western herbalism. The framework of understanding vitalism in our western herbal tradition is working from the premise of these four principles. First, 1st ‘I am alive, with a physical body as a baptized Christian, living for and within the kingdom of Christ .’ It is not merely that I am alive, or that I have a body. I am alive in Christ within the kingdom. Second, 2nd, ‘The operant principle within my body is intelligent spirit, life force, set in motion from beginingless time by God the Father.”. Third, 3rd,“ Food is our medicine and medicine is our food.” With ‘food’ being whatever enters the bounded whole of the body through the lips, mouth, eye, ear, nose, skin, sense and thought. In other words food is whatever enters inside. Food is whatever you can quantify and identify that is put in your body. The body being the greater vehicle. Food is not only what you eat. Food is the emotional regarding tone you give to things that enter your body, how you bless and give thanks for them, what self talk words you say to process events. Food is not only stuff swallowed by the mouth. Food is whatever enters the greater body. Fourthly, 4th, ‘Herbs are ordained by God and meant for our medicine, and the herbal science thereof.’ God through Jesus Christ and his mother Mary by the power of the Holy Ghost protects and guides us in our herbal science by ora et labora, prayer and work, work and prayer. Not only prayer, not only work, work and prayer. So we do not idly wait for health to happen, we use herbal science to petition God’s grace. https://youtu.be/Uo-CI5g10M8?si=Jz1Ywp0pngPkX5le
Each body system element: liver, kidneys, eyes, ears, is a kind of autonomous self-thus person ‘yielding fruit after his kind’, doing it’s work after the 2nd mystery of the most holy rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as the Visitation. according to itself. Within the God created plant, of the herbalist’s materia medica, as medicine is the ‘deep wisdom that commanded the earth’, the logos or Christos, as plant addresses deficiency or exuberance within the body system process. Yet herbs in general, as medicinal tonics are plants and are not the body. Herbs are outside the body, visitors to the body. They tend to stimulate vital functions of the body and encourage a return to balance of processes in the body such as digestion, absorption of nutrients, circulation of fluids, the general throttle of the body as metabolism, excretion and elimination of waste. Elimination of waste products is a central key to health within vitalism. Many body processes are akin to a flame, with a kind of combustion process going on. There are multiple upper and lower burners in the body. Just as fire creates heat and requires air flow circulation, dissipation of heat, eventually the process creates ash that must be removed. Whole herbs by their presence in the body do many different things. Their complex signature is also their grace and charity. We can draw conclusions that the body is a temple and everything happening therein is sacred ground, burning bush territory. St Mary went to see and visit her cousin, blood kin, flesh and blood St Elizabeth in the 2nd rosary mystery. Visitation is travel. Travel is movement. Travel is going to see flesh and blood as flesh and blood. The herbs taken by mouth, or applied to the body as poultice, salve or oil, travel throughout the body and re-integrate balance within the tissues by stimulating or quenching the inherent body processes. “It happens that certain men suffer diverse illnesses. This comes from the phlegm which is superabundant within them. For if man had remained in paradise, he would not have had the flegmata within his body, from which many evils proceed, but his flesh would have been whole and without dark humor [livor]. However, because he consented to evil and relinquished good, he was made into a likeness of the earth, which produces good and useful herbs, as well as bad and useless ones, and which has in itself both good and evil moistures.” -St Hildegard von Bingen, Causea et Curae
