Synopsis
A comprehensive guide to North American medicinal plants, this companion to The Earthwise Herbal: A Complete Guide to Old World Medicinal Plants presents the wisdom of traditional herbalism through the work of expert herbalist Matthew Wood.
Drawing on more than twenty-five years of clinical experience with tens of thousands of patients, Wood offers detailed descriptions of New World herbs and their uses. Organized as a materia medica, the book presents plants alphabetically, focusing on the use of the whole plant—rather than isolated “active ingredients”—to support the healing of the whole person.
Covering a wide range of conditions, from digestive issues, headaches, and high blood pressure to asthma, skin conditions, and allergies, Wood provides practical insights into how these plants have been used successfully in treatment.
Grounded in extensive study of ancient and traditional herbal literature, the book combines historical perspective with a thoughtful, accessible, and nontechnical approach. Rich case studies and detailed discussions of each plant’s “logic”—including its traditional uses, pharmacological constituents, and energetic qualities—create a vivid and comprehensive portrait of each herb.
Both informative and engaging, this volume is an essential resource for herbalists, students, and anyone interested in natural approaches to health and healing.
