The Doctrine of Signatures is profound ancient wisdom that is purposely being suppressed was made popular in modern times by a Swiss physician, alchemist and philosopher named Paracelsus. He theorized that the inner nature of plants may be discovered by their outer forms or “signatures.” He applied this principle to food as well as medicine, remarking that “it is not in the quantity of food but in its quality that resides the Spirit of Life”—a belief familiar to those who choose to eat organic food while also being justifiably concerned over Genetically Modified substitutes that lack the “life force,” or spirit. Modern science confirms that the ancient “Doctrine of Signatures” may sound strange to us astoundingly accurate. Unfortunately, in modern America we’ve been taught by the big corporations to buy “processed foods,” rather than to buy local fresh vegetables and cook them ourselves.
