Summary: The Best from the Best
Review: Matthew Wood is one of the herbal mentors for my own herbal mentor who is an AHG recognized professional herbalist. Within her herbal apprentice program, this book is required reading, and it is a very good thing that it is. Matthew Wood discusses not only the medicinal values of the herbs but the energetics, almost to the point of the magical.

For those of us who consider not only our physical relationships to the herbs, but also the metaphysical ones, this book is invaluable. It is very affirming that when we work closely with nature and the energies of the herbs and herbal medicine, we all are much better off. This is a work that empowers the reader and gives them a very deep knowledge of the herbs discussed. It has the highest recommendation I can give it and should be rated even higher.

Summary: Read about Teasel to help Lyme Disease!
Review: This book really helped my sister with Lyme disease. Matthew writes about Teasel Root which really helps with Lyme. If it weren't for this book, we wouldn't have known about this herb and we wouldn't have asked our local herbalist about it. The other stories he tells are just as interesting. We had our library buy it so everyone can read it.

Review: This herb book is one of the best I've read because of the vivid descriptions. I've been able to help myself much more effectively with herbs now than in the past due to the detailed descriptions. The author explains traditional systems of classifications and includes examples that really stick in the mind. It's obvious the author has a deep understanding and love of each plant.
