One of the most thorough manuals to appear in the herbal marketplace in years, this second book (of a two-volume set) from successful author and registered herbalist Matthew Wood focuses on New World (North American) therapeutic ideas and medicinal plants and will appeal to both students and practitioners wanting to gain insight into the medicinal properties of herbs.
 
A companion to the first Earthwise Herbal, which featured Old World herbs, this comprehensive guide covers more than 130 medicinal plants commonly used in North American herbal medicine and was written by an author who has more than twenty-five years of clinical experience.
