The Neem is considered, the 'healing tree'. It is also used to distract insects. There are many more; each considered sacred and possess positive energy.The Chinese, who generally have a sensitivity toward plants, have created an art and science of cultivating selected plants. These plants are introduced in well charted and organised placing around and in the homes, to create that symbiotic balance through the exchange of energies between the plants and human beings.The well-known bamboo is a popular inclusion in many of their arrangements.The world over, now appears to be looking back at the natural exchange and balance between plants and animals, which includes us as human beings.There is an awakening to the medicinal value of our humble herbs in alternative healing; the search for special species, the preservation, cultivation and use for a positively, energised and healthy world.
