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

This book explores Traditional Western Herbalism, attempting to fill a perceived void in available information where homeopathy, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine have more information available. Author and herbalist Matthew Wood has gathered old practices and contextualized them for modern situations. He takes certain positions where he sets this tradition apart from other herbalism practices and a biomedical model of standardization (wherein herbs are treated as drugs to solve highly specific ailments and conditions).
