Summary
The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism places the function of western herbs in their true historical context, apart from homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda. Recently there has been a revival of interest in western herbalism, but practitioners haven't been able to explore its benefits due to a void of information on the topic - the system of medicine the herbs fit into had all but disappeared.
To remedy the situation, herbalist Matthew Wood has researched the old-time practices and reconstructed them for modern use. In resuscitating western herbal medicine and bringing it up to date, he gives his listeners a powerful tool for holistic theory and treatment. Wood makes the point that plant medicines, because they are made from a broad range of chemical components, are naturally suited for the treatment of general patterns in the body. He argues against the biomedical model of standardization, in which herbs are refined and advertised as if they were drugs suited to an exact disease or condition.

not impressed
the knowledge is in the content but the narrator is hard to listen to. The accents/elongation of certain words becomes grating and his voice unfortunately isn't pleasant to listen to. I couldn't finish it, but I tried. I'm sorry for this negative narrator view!

Amongst the top Herbal Medicine books
I learned so much from this book. In my opinion it's one of the best books on herbalism.
Matthew Wood is an amazing teacher.

Couldn’t stand the narration
I skipped through most of this due to the narration. The narrator makes all the difference with audio books and this is one I couldn’t listen to. Irritating.

Chris Sorensen ruins it
Chris Sorensen should not be allowed to read books aloud. HE IS DREADFULLY HORRIBLE
He sounds as if he is full of bitterness.
