The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism: Basic Doctrine, Energetics, and Classification
Description
The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism places the function of western
herbs in their true historical context, apart from homeopathy, traditional
Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda. Recently there has been a revival of interest
in western herbalism, but practitioners haven’t been able to explore its
benefits due to a void of information on the topic—the system of medicine the
herbs fit into had all but disappeared. To remedy the situation, herbalist
Matthew Wood has researched the old-time practices and reconstructed them for
modern use. In resuscitating western herbal medicine and bringing it up to
date, he gives his readers a powerful tool for holistic theory and treatment.
Wood makes the point that plant medicines, because they are made from a broad
range of chemical components, are naturally suited for the treatment of
general patterns in the body. He argues against the biomedical model of
standardization, in which herbs are refined and advertised as if they were
drugs suited to an exact disease or condition. Read more
