The author is very candid in sharing what has worked for him AND what has not. He also generously shared what he has learned from other herbalists. This is the kind of book that will lead you to actually retain what you learn, versus just a how-to book. It's as close to learning personally from a master as a book can get.I do have one issue, though. Matthew Wood has a very soft spot for homeopathy, and sometimes intermingles homeopathic plant-based remedies in with herbal treatments which becomes confusing at times. They really are (I believe) separate systems of medicine and I believe it really makes a difference whether you are using a homeopathic preparation or an herbal preparation, and this should be made clearer in the text. He also believes in using very low doses, even of regular herbal tinctures-- sometimes as low as a drop or two. I studied at Dr. Christopher's School of Natural Healing, and also trained in Chinese herbalism, and in my studies of these 2 traditions, my experience as well as that of my teachers informs me that one of the biggest problems with clients who say herbs don't work is that they take too little. I'll just leave that there, but I'm not sure why this aspect of treatment would be so different among competent herbalists.So with that one point of confusion aside, this is one of my top favorite herb books and I'll definitely be exploring more of Wood's work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book *by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2024* Great book ,lots of information ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024* I'm so impressed by this book. It's not anything like I expected but I love it. I love that each section is short but informative enough to give you a new perspective on the herbs. Im so glad I bought this, it's a great addition to my collection of herbal books. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Book of Herbal Wisdom: Using Plants as Medicines - 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.hr/products/4356589-the-book-of-herbal-wisdom-using-plants-as-medicines-paperback](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/4356589-the-book-of-herbal-wisdom-using-plants-as-medicines-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
