Description
Western herbalism is a system of medicine that has been largely forgotten in modern times. However, with the resurgence of interest in traditional practices, a gap in knowledge has emerged. Herbalist Matthew Wood has filled this void by researching and reconstructing the old-time practices of western herbalism, bringing them up to date for modern use. Wood's approach is based on the idea that plant medicines are suited for treating general patterns in the body, rather than specific diseases or conditions. He argues against the biomedical model of standardization, which can be limiting in its approach to herbal medicine. By exploring the energetics and classification of herbs, Wood provides a powerful tool for holistic theory and treatment. This book offers a comprehensive understanding of traditional western herbalism, making it a valuable resource for those looking to explore this approach to health and wellness.
