Organized alphabetically, the book encompasses all the major, and many of the secondary, herbs of traditional and modern Western herbalism. Author Matthew Wood describes characteristic symptoms and conditions in which each plant has proved useful in the clinic, often illustrated with appropriate case histories. He also takes a historical view based on his extensive study of ancient and traditional herbal literature. Written in an easy, engaging, non-technical style, The Earthwise Herbal offers insight into the “logic” of the plant: how it works; in what areas of the body it works; how it has been used in the past; what its pharmacological constituents indicate about its use; and how all these different factors hang together to produce a portrait of the plant as a whole entity. Ideal for beginners, serious students, or advanced practitioners, The Earthwise Herbal is also useful for homeopaths and flower essence practitioners as it bridges these fields in its treatment of herbal medicines. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 5.98 x 1.61 x 8.98 inches | | Edition | 46555th | | Isbn 10 | 1556436920 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1556436925 | | Item Weight | 1.99 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 592 pages | | Publication Date | June 3, 2008 | | Publisher | North Atlantic Books | ## Images ![The Earthwise Herbal, Volume I: A Complete Guide to Old World Medicinal Plants - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QSzA-Z-7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for amateurs but a must-have in your library *by on Reviewed in the United States February 15, 2025* This book is dense with information on herbalism. It covers the energetics of traditional medicine from various traditions such as the greek, ayurvedic, chinese, alchemical, and physiomedical medicines. It speaks about the integration of pharmacology taste and energetics. This book is college level. So if you're a beginner, this may not be the best book to start with. But if you're serious, and you want to work through its pages, by the time you put it all together, you will have no doubt become more proficient than the majority of those who speak about herbalism.The book contains many references, a large index of herbs, a large index of conditions as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in herbalism. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great books! *by on Reviewed in the United States May 28, 2025* Believe I found this as a used copy,that was in great condition.This helped complete my set of these books.This & vol 2 have the plant information. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Complete with historical references and a great reference section *by on Reviewed in the United States September 12, 2015* Complete with historical references and a great reference section. This book details much of the written literature from ancient Greek to modern times. Herbal properties and usage fall in line with other herbals. The author promotes a philosophy of holism and plant properties that may not be scientific; however, has the flavor of the ancient midwife/herbalist/healer that was the way of determining what herb to use for what ailment. Great book to use for historical reference, cross checking herbal remedies, and perspective for those of us on the herbal healer path. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Earthwise Herbal, Volume I: A Complete Guide to Old World Medicinal Plants - The Earthwise Herbal, Volume II: A Complete Guide to New World Medicinal Plants - The Earthwise Herbal Repertory: The Definitive Practitioner's Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/3832403-the-earthwise-herbal-volume-i-a-complete-guide-to-old](https://www.desertcart.id/products/3832403-the-earthwise-herbal-volume-i-a-complete-guide-to-old) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
