Herbal Manual
THE MESSAGE
The true desire of the herbs and plants is to heal the
planet, All we have to do is listen!
PHYSICAL
The herbs in the herbal manual support the biochemistry
of the body and help us to restore meridian balance and
alleviate the signs and symptoms of distress. By offering
the body an herbal tea, tincture or capsule, we are making a biochemical change in the body. In holistic theory we like to think of this as feeding the organ the nutrition it needs to stay healthy.
There are two approaches to herbology in my mind. One follows the allopathic approach to health; which is if you are suffering from certain symptoms then you need to have particular herbs and a choice is made as to which herb would best suite your set of disease symptoms.
The second approach to herbs is following the energy model or holistic approach to health. This is the approach taken by the layout of this book. If the body is showing symptoms of disease then there is an imbalance in the energy field. Determination needs to be made as to which meridian or meridians are not functioning optimally. This can be assessed using kinesiology. Then the kinesiologist will determine which herbs will feed the meridian and the meridian will deliver the life energy to the related organ and the body can then begin to heal itself.
A herbal dictionary has been included to help bridge the thinking from the allopathic model to the energy model approach to health. The dictionary of herbal terms can be equated to a measurement conversion table. It is like reading metric when you’ve been raised with the imperial system of measurement. These new learning attitudes take time and practice to master.
EMOTIONAL
The herbs in this book support the emotional component of the body as each herb is designated an emotion. Emotions are supposed to move through your mind and body to give you awareness and to motivate action. It is only when an emotion takes hold and we hang on to it, that it will negatively affecting our health. Having the emotion related to the herb, gives us an opportunity to reflect how we were feeling this emotion and are we willing to get the message and let go of the emotion. We can ask ourselves how appropriate this emotion is in relation to what we are going through at this time when our body is showing signs and symptoms of disease.
SPIRITUAL
The herbs in this book support the spiritual component of the body by allowing us to hear the message from the plant energies. The plant kingdom is an integral part of this planet along side of us and the plant energies are truly here to help us heal. The message of the plant gives us the insight of the attitude we have been carrying which charge the emotion that create the sickness and disease in our body. When we are taking the herb it is wise to listen to the message of the plant, this gives us the connection with all of nature. This simple act helps to raise our vibration so that we can begin to receive power and energy from other vibrational sources such as light color and sound.
What Dr. Bruce Dewe had to say about the Western herbs for Eastern Meridian and Five Element Theory manual:
With her new manual Western herbs for eastern meridian and Five Element Theory, Evelyn Mulders has give the busy Kinesiologist ( and other health practitioners) an effective, user friendly, new tool for their clinics. In particular, PKP graduates will enjoy the way in which she has organized her knowledge of herbs within the PKP protocol and Chinese 5 element theory. However, within that context, Evelyn is teaching Western (local) herbs, which support our western society and nourish the people of western lands and cultures.
I enjoyed the inclusion of a “herbal attitude” portion which gives clients the metaphysical message to support them in their spiritual journey. To make it easy for practitioners, Evelyn has outlined the herbs in a chart with their mental/emotional/ physical relevance. This means that while the client is receiving physical benefit from the use of the herb, a herbal “message” also offers their spirit and additional perspective for energy balancing.
Non-PKP practitioners are not forgotten, the manual is non-commercial product related and the biochemical uses are quickly referenced. The manual outlines the part of the herb that holds the balancing quality and so alleviates any confusion over which part of the herb to use.
Clients themselves will receive immense benefit from owning this book themselves. Wit increasing government restrictions on the availability of supplements, the rising prices and side-effect of pharmaceuticals, knowledge about the safe use of local herbs to support family and close friends becomes very empowering.
Evelyn’s desire is to empower people to be able t pick local herbs and to have knowledge, direction over the preparation and use of that herb. This manual has the potential to liberate people to finding the herb in local fields and having confidence in using what mother nature intended as healing gifts for us

Dr. John Thie’s comments:
In the care of yourself or other persons there are many ways to assess what would be helpful. One way is to balance the energy of the soul by using muscle tests to determine where the energy is not in harmony with the purpose and goals the person is seeking change. After muscle testing and determining the meridian(s) that are not harmoniously functioning there are a number of different ways to bring the meridians into harmony and the whole person the soul back into harmony or balance. Using herbs is one way this maybe accomplished. This model is quite different from the models used in western herbal medicine. In the western herbal model herbs are viewed as plant-based drugs. AS such, they are administered in monopreparations, or sometimes as simple combinations of two herbs based on the symptoms of a particular medical condition. Where this is the model, herb products are prescribed in the context of conventional medical consultation and diagnosis of a specific disorder which is a good model but entirely different from the model which is used in Touch for health Kinesiology (TFHK). In the TFHK model the herbal preparations are given to balance the energy imbalances as found from assessing the meridian imbalance by muscle testing. The symptoms and diagnosis are treated in the Western Herbal medicine or Phytotherapy by giving the preparations to eliminate the symptoms in the same way as drugs are given. In the TFH Kinesiology model, the herbal preparations are given to balance the subtle energies and bring in to balance the muscle that previously was inhibited for the goal of the client. In this model the herb has a chemical component but is also hypothesized to have subtle energy component, which is the herbal signature or message from the plant kingdom to the human soul.
This herbal manual assists the Touch for Health Kinesiologists to maker herbal choice that addresses the energy imbalance both physically and spiritually to bring harmony to the soul the whole person seeking change in their life and thus improve the whole person
