Originally published in hardcover in 1998.

The art of healing is vast and complex, with almost as many different modalities as practitioners. In Breakthrough Healing, six of these healers¿experts in Jin Shin Jyutsu, Feng Shui, Acupuncture, Rapid Transformational Therapy, Spiritual Life Coaching, and Human Ops¿have come together to shine light on their various techniques, as well as their unique journeys, proving that alternative medicine can have effects just as and sometime even more powerful than western practices.Because, despite all you may have heard, medicine is not always strictly logical. Chronic pain, lifelong conditions, and emotional struggles can be eased or even cured through nontraditional methods¿including the mind/body connection and spiritual awareness.In demystifying the art of alternative healing, Breakthrough Healing not only serves to enlighten readers, but also strives to help them benefit from this new knowledge, overcoming their own personal challenges and finding a new light in life.¿

Addressing the pervasive longing for healing and belonging, Montana resident and therapist Robyn Bridges invites us to come along on a personal journey into the sentient arms of the natural world. Through a series of short stories of actual encounters with moose and other wildlife in southwest Montana, we adventure with her to find strength and renewal as an antidote to the disappointment and sorrow inherent in life. Gleaned from her years spent alone in lively conversation with the natural world, Bridges offers a feminine and indigenous pathway to becoming more intimate with our inner nature through exploring the natural world. And, like the solitary moose who ambles through streams finding needed nourishment, we discover how to thrive even through the seasons of our own aloneness. Moose Medicine provides a moist template through which the reader's own instinctive knowing will tread. "At last, a book that explains how to connect with nature through heart and soul. Moose Medicine offers peaceful solutions for all our ills." Barbara McGowan, artist and author "For those hungering to find their way through spirit in nature, Robyn Bridges is a compassionate and knowing guide." Ginny Watts, M. Ed., psychotherapist, world dance artist, and author "Gentle and powerful, this beautifully written book guides the reader into self-reflection and new possibilities " Steve Guettermann, college lecturer and author

Hailed as a “classic” by leading herbalist Rosemary Gladstar, this botanical compendium provides a wide-ranging history of herbalism and useful guidance for healing with herbs Matthew Wood is one of the United States’ most renowned herbalists and the author of Seven Herbs: Plants as Healers, a watershed book in teaching herbal healing as a part of total wellness. With The Book of Herbal Wisdom, he continues and expands this study, creating a must-read guide for anyone who works in the natural health field or is interested in self-healing with herbs. Wood creates a vast and sweeping history of herbalism, drawing on Western botanical knowledge, homeopathy, Traditional Chinese medicine, and Native American shamanic botany. Detailing the history and use of more than forty plants, he shows how each tradition views a plant, as well as its use in cases drawn from his own herbal and homeopathic practice. An initial section describes signatures, similar, and patterns in these traditions, and elements, temperaments, and constitutions. Wood has two objectives: to demonstrate how herbal medicines are agents of healing and wisdom, and to give the reader a useful catalog of plants for medicinal uses. His clinical observations of his patients bear the wry wisdom of the country doctor; his love of plants is evident in lush botanical descriptions, which show the connection between remedies—whether homeopathic, Chinese, or Native American—and the plants from which they are derived. An introduction to centuries of lore about healing from indigenous traditions, The Book of Herbal Wisdom integrates and describes North American Indian medicine, homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western herbalism like no other contemporary botanical compendium.
