The Earthwise Herbal, Volume I: A Complete Guide to Old World Medicinal Plants by Matthew Wood. This comprehensive guide covers the major and secondary herbs of traditional and modern Western herbalism, offering insight into the "logic" of each plant. Organized alphabetically, the book profiles Old World plants, with a historical view based on extensive study of ancient and traditional herbal literature. Author Matthew Wood describes characteristic symptoms and conditions in which each plant has proved useful in the clinic, often illustrated with case histories. This approach provides a unique understanding of how plants work, their pharmacological constituents, and their historical use. The result is a detailed portrait of each 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. Its comprehensive coverage makes it a valuable resource for anyone interested in Western herbal medicine.
