Loranthus Acaciea Proving
Plicosepalus Acacia
Written and collated by Elia Onne and Michal Yakir
Introduction
In spring 2008, Elia Onne was inspired during a hike in the Negev Desert, part of the 970 km Israel Trail. The harsh, arid environment is home to the resilient Acacia tree. Onne noticed another plant, the Loranthus, parasitically thriving on the Acacia, causing many trees to die. This sight led Onne and botanist Michal Yakir to conduct a homeopathic proving of Loranthus in early summer 2009. The proving revealed the plant's vicious nature, causing bitterness and conflict among the team and reflected in the provers' diaries, illustrating the homeopathic principle of "Similia Similibus Curentur."
