The Earthwise Herbal, Volume II: A Complete Guide to New World Medicinal Plants

A very well specific and explained about every herb of the New World, using the basics theories from the greek and giving you a well perspective of how you can detect and develop any illness and it cure. If you need a guide to begin with or just as a resourceful references. This book is a perfect asset for your library.

Excellent book. I have found why Matthew Wood is well known, referenced, sought after healer. I would find it amazing to just sit with him for one day watching him heal those who came to him. I am a CMH but he goes beyond that and it is in this book. It is easy to follow, makes sense, has you saying "I would never have thought of that." and is just an enjoyable book to read, if you like herbs that is. Have been buying all his books and will buy whatever he puts out.

This is a wonderful book for anyone seriously interested in herbal medicine. it's far from your standard "let's rewrite everything that's already been written about plants". I wish I'd had this in my library years ago.

great addition for any herbalist

If you only have two books in your home on herbal remedies, this one and its companion are the ones to have. The information is well-researched, as complete as possible and very easy to find your particular condition. Dosage information is also provided, something you won't always find on the herbal tincture bottles in the health food store. I've learned to go to these books FIRST before seeking medical treatment and almost always find relief. Remember that modern medicine is BASED on herbal (plant) medicine before they are mutated in the laboratory.Highly recommended!

This Guide to New World Medicinal Plants and its sister companion book are simply 2 of the best herbals to be found anywhere. Chocked full of information, including scientific information, details, and experiences not found anywhere else, no herbalist should be without them. Having already purchased The Complete Guide to the Old World Medicinal Plants, I pre-ordered its New World Sister companion and waited months for its availability, And it was worth the wait!

This is the second in Matthew Woods "Herbals" and allows us a privileged view into Herbs of America from a maestro on the subject who is also a native American. Matthew's books are highly professional and at the same time personable and readable, full of anecdote and insight. To read these is to step into Matthew's world, full of magic and healing and connection with the spirit.

The media could not be loaded. This book is loaded with helpful information about herbs and has become a vital tool in helping me build up my materia medica. I appreciate that he includes what each herb tastes like as well as indications for each. My only complaint is the printing job. As you can see in the video several pages are stuck together, like the pages weren’t cut and glued in properly. It’s definitely a bummer because the book looks cheap and low quality which is in no way a reflection of the authors fantastic work. It’s still useful the way it is but I thought others should know.

Great book if you want to learn more about medicinal plants and herbalism. Very informative and worth the cost. Highly recommend this

Awesome piece of art and work by a great man, all of his books are brilliant because they come from a beautiful soul. Thank you Mathew!

much more in depth than other herbal books- this reads as a textbook- in a good way. the materia medica is so useful, and detailed - it's perfect for people looking for a bit more advanced information on herbs.

Handy as Mathew Wood writes about tissue states as well as other indications of the herbs, and one generally gets the sense he speaks from personal experiance with the plants.

I think it is very informative, but have;nt had time to really get into it. There looks to be lots of useful information in it.
