Introduction-General:

Principles of Energetic Herbalism is the foundation of CombiHs Herbalism and a practical, science-informed energetic healing system for home use and structured study.

This Volume I opens the gateway to a healing system that works with the body’s deepest forces. Organs communicate through taste, aroma, cravings, heat, and emotion. Every herb sends a clear energetic signal that restores harmony when applied correctly.

This volume teaches how taste, lifestyle, and food choices form your energetic blueprint. Readers learn simple, practical steps to predict imbalance, correct dysfunction, rebuild strength, and stop illness before it develops.

Consequently, families and students gain reliable tools for daily prevention and targeted treatment.


Chapter 1 — Principles of Energetic Herbalism

1.1 Introduction

The human body functions as an energetic network rather than a mechanical machine. Every organ vibrates with patterns shaped by diet, herbs, emotions, lifestyle, and environment.

Herbs act as energy modulators, influencing thermodynamic balance, biochemical pathways, and emotional states. Volume I explains how these energetic patterns determine both disease formation and healing.

1.2 Core Principles

  • Taste–Energy Connection: Each taste drives specific organs and creates predictable effects.
  • Opposites Heal: Opposing tastes correct accumulated imbalances efficiently.
  • Cumulative Effects: Daily habits shape long-term organ strength.
  • Individualized Prescription: Personal taste profiles outperform generic remedies.

1.3 Scientific Basis

Modern research confirms taste receptors in the gut, liver, pancreas, and kidneys. Bitter compounds activate detox enzymes, sweet compounds stimulate insulin pathways, and aromatic molecules influence mood and hormones.

Volume I bridges traditional herbal wisdom with modern physiology and phytochemistry.


Chapter 2 — Nature’s Five Energies (Hot, Cold, Dry, Damp, Wind)

2.1 Understanding Energetics

Quality Effect
Hot Boosts metabolism, circulation, digestion
Cold Cools inflammation and calms tissues
Dry Removes excess moisture and firms tissues
Damp Moisturizes dry organs and connective tissue
Wind Moves stagnation and supports detoxification

2.2 Using Energetics in Healing

Apply hot herbs to raise circulation, cold herbs to reduce heat, dry herbs to clear dampness, damp herbs to hydrate tissues, and wind herbs to move blockages.


Chapter 3 — Life Force, Blood, Essence & Organ Harmony

3.1 Life Force (Qi / Prana)

Herbs either strengthen or drain life force. Correct herbal selection builds vitality, resilience, and recovery capacity.

3.2 Blood & Essence

Blood delivers nutrients and supports daily organ function, while essence stores deep vitality within the kidneys and liver.

3.3 Organ Harmony (Taste–Organ Map)

Organ Taste
Liver Sour
Heart Bitter
Kidneys Salty
Lungs Pungent
Colon Astringent
Spleen / Pancreas Sweet

Chapter 4 — Taste–Organ–Disease Theory

4.1 Taste as a Diagnostic Tool

Excess sweet weakens the pancreas; sour excess stresses the liver; salty excess burdens the kidneys; bitter excess dries tissues; pungent excess overheats the skin; astringent excess tightens the colon.

4.2 Predictive Medicine

Tracking cravings and long-term dietary patterns allows early detection of organ stress before disease manifests.


Chapter 5 — The Opposition Healing Law

5.1 Core Principle

“Similar tastes accumulate; opposites heal.” Opposing tastes rebalance enzymes, hormones, and detox pathways.

5.2 Mechanism

Opposites modulate biochemical reactions and restore natural organ rhythm.

5.3 Example

When liver acidity rises from sour overload, sweet and bitter herbs calm bile flow and reduce stress.


Chapter 6 — Diagnostics: Taste Personality, Aroma Constitution & Food Imbalance

6.1 Taste Personality

A person’s dominant taste reveals their primary organ vulnerability.

6.2 Aroma Constitution

Aroma cravings indicate circulation, cooling, or detoxification needs.

6.3 Food Imbalance

Long-term taste dominance creates organ pressure and eventual illness unless corrected.


Chapter 7 — Disease Formation (Taste Accumulation Model)

7.1 Mechanism of Accumulation

One taste dominates → biochemical overload → organ adaptation → stagnation → inflammation → symptoms.

7.2 Examples

  • Sweet excess → Pancreatic strain → Insulin resistance
  • Sour excess → Liver / gallbladder stress → Acid reflux
  • Salty excess → Kidney overload → Hypertension

7.3 Prevention & Healing

Track taste patterns, apply opposite-taste herbs, monitor response, and reassess regularly to prevent disease progression.
