DESCRIPTION:
Part of a two volume set, this complete guide to old world medicinal plants describes the characteristic symptoms and conditions from a holistic perspective.”—Within Kingston Magazine. “In The Earthwise Herbal, Matthew Wood has revived the richness, depth, and dignity of the herbal medicine of the old masters, while at the same time endowing it with a new cosmopolitan, cross-cultural flavor that lifts it to a genuinely planetary level.”—Rudolph Ballentine, MD, author of Radical Healing“Matthew Wood propounds with great clarity, wisdom, and his own experience the gifts the earth in its wisdom has given us in the form of amazing medicines for almost all our ills, whether of body, mind, emotion, personality, or constitution.

Wood is the author of four previous books (all published by North Atlantic Books) and a registered herbalist, or professional member, of the American Herbalists Guild, the only self-regulating body of practicing herbalists in the United States. He is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and holds a Master of Science

The first in a two-volume set, The Earthwise Herbal profiles Old World plants (volume two will treat American plants). Written in an easy, engaging, non-technical style, The Earthwise Herbal offers insight into the “logic” of the plant: how it works, in what areas of the body it works, how it has been used in the past, what its pharmacological constituents indicate about its use, and how all these different factors hang together to produce a portrait of the plant as a whole entity. Noted herbalist Matthew Wood brings twenty-five years of clinical experience to this comprehensive book on medicinal plants. In addition, he takes a historical view based on his extensive study of ancient and traditi
