The Earthwise Herbal, Volume I: A Complete Guide to Old World Medicinal Plants
Description
The first part in a comprehensive two-volume guide on the use of medicinal
plants in Western herbal medicine—from an author who has almost forty years of
clinical experience The first in a two-volume set, The Earthwise Herbal
profiles Old World plants (volume two will treat American plants). Organized
alphabetically, the book encompasses all the major, and many of the secondary,
herbs of traditional and modern Western herbalism. Author Matthew Wood
describes characteristic symptoms and conditions in which each plant has
proved useful in the clinic, often illustrated with appropriate case
histories. He also takes a historical view based on his extensive study of
ancient and traditional herbal literature. 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. Ideal for beginners, serious students, or advanced
practitioners, The Earthwise Herbal is also useful for homeopaths and flower
essence practitioners as it bridges these fields in its treatment of herbal
medicines. Read more
