Everything that is spread out in the plant kingdom as the essential nature of the living is found, united at a higher level, in the life body of the human being, and reveals itself in the streaming bodily fluids: the blood, the lymph, and the secretions of the glandular system that regulate all life processes (Figure 6). The etheric body is the source of health. Illnesses have their origin in the soul. For their healing, the etheric body finds support in that which conforms to its essential nature in each specific way — and that is the world of medicinal plants. Paracelsus says, in effect: there is no illness that could not be healed by some "herb" to be found in the plant kingdom.
