Michael Moore (1941–2009) was an American herbalist. Founder of the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine along with his partner Donna Chesner, he trained a generation of Southwest herbalists. He also almost single-handedly revived awareness of and use of the writings of the Eclectic medical doctors. His witty, imaginative herbals also almost single-handedly revived and popularized the use of many native western North American plants that had otherwise fallen into disuse. It would be difficult to understate the impact he has had on modern American herbal medicine.
