Matt Wood: A Potpourri of Herbal Wisdom and Insights

April 25 - April 29, 2022

Matthew Wood

'Potpourri of Herbal topics' including advanced materia medica, herbal philosophy-physiomedical and eclectic, tissue states and therapeutics; including cancer; skin diseases, chronic Lyme, IBS, and IBD, with informative sessions about tongue, pulse and some practical information on the extracellular matrix.
Lyme Disease and Co-infections
Matthew will share his experience with these problems in humans. “I’ve had personal and professional experience with Lyme, Erlishiosis, and Bartonella—not Babesia." Teasel, Blue Vervain, Monarda fistulosa, Cleavers, Red Clover, Holly. Bartonella helped me prepare for Covid.
Autoimmune Diseases
We are still attempting to understand this system. It is like the blind men feeling the elephant. So I will share my insights and remedies and I hope my friends in the audience are open to sharing theirs. This touches on skin and intestinal health.
The Extracellular Matrix
Understanding the first and foundational organ system of multicellular organisms; implications for therapy; remedies that touch the matrix. The microbiome—rubs shoulders with the matrix. Mucosal remedies, mucilages, tannins, and the matrix. Insights into cancer from studies of the ECM. Red Clover and encystment of tumors.

MENLA RETREATS

“Menla sits on an energy vortex that is said to be the oldest known meteor crater in the world, and you can feel it. Maybe it’s electromagnetic, or maybe it’s the amazing energy of the people here, but Menla is a powerful and nurturing place that draws you like a giant magnet…. Menla is a deeply spiritual, restorative place, where you can reconnect with your higher self, ponder life’s true meaning.”

Rona Berg, Organic Spa

“The experience I’ve had as a volunteer here at Menla has been a unique one. I had recently experienced the loss of a number of friends, and of my father, before coming up for a retreat, and then coming back as a volunteer. Not only was the work I did up in these gorgeous mountains an amazingly cathartic experience, but the support I received from the community that exists here was unlike anything I had previously experienced.”

Reina de Beer

“Deep in the Catskill Mountains exists a very special place—the Dewa Spa at Menla. On a snowy, late winter afternoon there is nothing better than a long deep soak in one of their tubs infused with the 5 Nectars bath blend. The tranquil sounds of this hidden valley can be heard through a cracked window—the Pantherkill Stream and the sweet symphony of our bird friends chattering about the upcoming spring. This is the perfect place to leave the world behind for as long as possible!”
