As somebody who has been studying herbs for the past seventeen years, and is currently enrolled as a student at HANE, and the University of Oregon, Master Botany Course this was beyond my expectations. The quality of the teaching is laid back and informal with so much meat attached to the bone. As a former professional dog breeder, I was introduced to herbs as a quality way to treat a kennel full of Rottweiler and have had an entire lifestyle change. I am seriously considering using the knowledge that I gain from all of these studies for a line of human and canine products. Matthew Wood's Materia Medica Class delves deep into herbs.......hang on!

I love this course. I guess everyone has different ways of learning, and this was great for me. I learned so much from listening to Matthew. I took lots of notes then realized there were PDF pages that I can print and read again and again. I'm sure I will watch the videos again also. I knew a little bit about Solomon's Seal, but this class filled I all the gaps. Also the info on cucumber water was great! Unfortunately I was unable to be in on the live version and really appreciate being able to see it later. I hope I can be there for future classes, but timing is iffy. Thank you Matthew for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. Karin Archibald

Hi There: I had a computer glitch and was unable to participate in the online class live. I just watched the recording and very much enjoyed it. I had already learned a bit about cucumber water and Solomon's Seal from participating in the seminar held at Green Comfort in April. I have been using both since then, with good results, for Lyme related symptoms. It was very helpful to learn more about these two things from this first online class. I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate in these classes. Thank you, Matthew, for your willingness to share your knowledge and wisdom. My independent herbal studies are greatly enhanced and enriched by your valuable input. Pax, Montserrat Vittitow

I love Matthew Wood's books and read some of them, his approach to the plant healing actions is from a thousand angles really speaks to me. I knew his Materia Medica course would be quite educational, but I was underestimating Matthew. He LOVES to share his knowledge and speaks not only from his experience, but also from other herbalists and practitioners. He pours his knowledge. Investing into this course is the best thing I did. Thank you, Matthew, for your wisdom and desire to share it with us, beginning herbalists. Honestly, from this first class I found out more about Solomon Seal than I did (preparing for this class) from all the books and articles I could find. Thank you, and God bless!
