Product Description

Review
"There are many fine herb books written by our country's great herbalists gracing the shelves these days. But only once in a while does a classic arise. "The Book of Herbal Wisdom" is surely that. Written with grace, intelligence, and warmth, this book is richly infused with the gift of wisdom and earns its title at every turn."
- Rosemary Gladstar

Product Description
Matthew Wood explores how herbs are not only invaluable for healing, but as reference points for exploring the natural world. He mixes descriptions from botanical and homeopathic literature with the clinical truths he has discovered as a healer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very complete study of the plants, the doctrine of signature, 16 May 1998
By A Customer
Matthew Wood is recognized world wide as one of the States' most reknown herbalists. His previous book, 7 Herbs: Plants as Healers, was a watershed in teaching herbal healing as a part of toatl wellness. This is continued and enlarged in wonderful detail in this new book .This should be a must read for anyone working in the natural health field or interested in self healing with herbs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful. Well written., 23 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Best reference for integrating herbal, homeopathic, Native American, and flower essence uses of a plant. Engaging style. Great examples that stick in my mind. History of plant use integrated well with modern usage.
