In this second "Earthwise Herbal" ('herbal', as defined by
Merriam-Webster, is 'a book about plants especially with reference
to their medicinal properties') Matthew Wood, an expert herbalist
who has used medicinal herbs in tens of thousands of cases over a
twenty-five-year career, provides detailed descriptions of New
World (North American) herbs and their uses. The first volume of
this two-volume set, "The Earthwise Herbal: A Complete Guide to Old
World Medicinal Plants", was published by North Atlantic Books in
May 2008. Organized as a material medica (names and descriptions of
herbs/plants are listed alphabetically), the book explains the use
of the whole plant - not just 'active ingredients' - in the
treatment of the whole person and describes symptoms and conditions
that the plants have been successful in treating (digestive
ailments, headaches, high blood pressure, asthma, skin rashes, and
allergies, to name a few). Wood, one of very few writers who has
systematically studied ancient and traditional herbal literature,
rather than the occasional text, takes a historical view and
presents information in a thoughtful, engaging, non-technical
style. In addition, he provides remarkable case studies as well as
insight into the 'logic' of each plant - its current usage, past
usage, pharmacological constituents, and other elements that
together produce a comprehensive portrait of the plant.
