Matthew Wood Institute of Herbalism

The focus of Matthew Wood Institute of Herbalism is on a spiritual practice of herbalism, healing, and medicine.  The main points in this approach are an overall emphasis on Nature as a Living Being (anima mundi), acknowledging the body, soul, and spirit, the four directions or elements, the seven lessons of the medicine path, and the plants themselves.  This is undertaken from a vitalist, holistic, natural, and traditional perspective...

...These are the principles of Nature Wisdom and the way our school of herbal medicine is organized.  A secondary mission will be to collect and offer materials relating to the history of herbalism and herbal practitioners in the last several generations.
