Review "The Earthwise Herbal Repertory is an incredibly impressive achievement. While homeopathic repertories are legion, in modern herbal literature we have a very limited collection of works; this is an important and much-needed addition to the published sources of herbal specifics. It will help Western herbalists better understand their materia medica and achieve superior results with their clients. It also helps lay a foundation for the further development of herbal medicine—one rooted in the past, but continuing to grow and look to the future."—David Winston, registered herbalist (AHG), president of Herbalists & Alchemists "Matthew Woods style of herbalism is deeply important to the modern world. He reminds us of the deeper intricate and energetic workings of plants. If I want to truly get to the heart of a plant, I read up on what he has to say."—Jonathan Keyes, acupuncturist, author of Guide to Natural Health "Matthew Woods writing leaves me simultaneously pondering, blown away, inspired, and a bit giddy. Few people have the ability to pull in and weave together as many different strands of herbalism into such a beautiful tapestry. Im deeply grateful to live in a world with his perspective."—Jim McDonald, herbalist at herbcraft.org Review Quote "Matthew Woods style of herbalism is deeply important to the modern world.
