An Energetic and Synergistic Look at Herbs

Sometimes you will hear about an herb’s energetic effect on the body, or you will hear an herbalist say that a combination of herbs works synergistically together. What’s all this about?
Energetics describes the personality, energy, and general characteristics of herbs. It’s also used to categorize how an herb or a food reacts to our body when we taste, smell, and ingest it. Synergy is a term used to describe how herbs work together. We can have a synergistic relationship with our friends, but not our enemies! Working synergistically together is basically working in harmony to enhance the effects of each other.
