The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism: Basic Doctrine, Energetics, and C

Description: The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism by Matthew Wood Western Herbalism, along with other systems of natural, traditional and holistic medicine, is a system of medicine by which the herbs could be applied to the human body. This book resuscitates and brings Western Herbalism up to date in relation to the human body. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher 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 havent 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. Author Biography Matthew Wood is a registered herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild, and has maintained a private practice as an herbalist for twenty years. He lives and practices at Sunnyfield Herb Farm in Minnetrista, Minnesota.
