Weaving together herbal and medical traditions from around the world into a singular cohesive model, this ground-breaking book guides herbal practitioners to a comprehensive understanding of the practice and philosophy of healing with herbs.
SAJAH POPHAM's mission is to create a new paradigm of plant medicine based on the synergy of herbal traditions from across the world with modern science and spirituality. His approach is to work with plants to not just heal the body, but to attend to our psychological, emotional, and spiritual health-using plants to facilitate the soul's evolution. Popham is the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in the practice of transformational healing through the integration of clinical herbalism, medical astrology, and spagyric alchemy. He is also the founder of Organic Unity Spagyrics, a practitioner-grade spagyric herbal product line specializing in traditional alchemical extracts used by herbalists, doctors, and naturopaths around the world. He lives with his wife, Whitney, on their homestead in the forests and mountains of the Pacific Northwest.

“This is no simple compendium of herbal recipes and cures, but a
book that digs deeply, exploring the roots of humanity’s spiritual
and physical illness and the amazing power of plants to heal.
Evolutionary Herbalism masterfully blends the metaphors of science,
metaphysics, medical astrology, and alchemy into a deeply
insightful journey that takes us to the very heart and soul of
herbalism and provides a holistic model for understanding people
and plants.”
—Rosemary Gladstar, author of Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs:
A Beginner's Guide
“Well researched at the scholarly level, Evolutionary Herbalism
includes the author’s own profound experiential knowledge of the
subject. Pushing the boundary of modern herbal medicine, this book
provides us with a new vision of the herbal realm teeming with life
and intelligence that will work with us as a partner and powerful
ally once we understand how to initiate that contact. Sajah Popham
provides us with a wealth of hard-won tips and guidance to open
that wider vista of the herbal realm.”
—Robert Allen Bartlett, author of Real Alchemy: A Primer of
Practical Alchemy

exploration of multiple systems of traditional herbal healing.”

Imaginal Realm
“Sajah Popham powerfully presents a holistic model of plant
medicine that weaves traditional knowledge, science, and an
integration of the heart and mind to guide you toward
transformational health.”
—Rosalee de la Forêt, author of Alchemy of Herbs: Transform
Everyday Ingredients into Foods and Remedies That Heal
“Popham crystallizes complex healing traditions and modalities,
simplifying and making them palatable. Practical tips abound on
merging observations of the human and differentiating to match the
plant to that human, whether in relation to astrology, elements,
principles, holism, or whichever concept is being shared. Chapters
are infused with Popham’s own delightful herb profiles. His
humor grounds the education shared, creating a sense of ordinary,
necessary knowledge. Essential for serious practitioners.”
—Margi Flint, RH, author of The Practicing Herbalist
“Popham’s evolutionary approach to herbalism provides a detailed
blueprint to guide aspiring herbalists as well as those already
walking the Green Path in the bringing together of plants and
humans to inspire wholeness and affect healing. Firmly grounded in
ancient wisdom and expertly distilled by the author before being
recombined with his own clinical experiences, Evolutionary
Herbalism offers medicine for transforming the root of our
individual and cultural dis-ease.”
—Scott Kloos, author of Pacific Northwest Medicinal Plants:
Identify, Harvest, and Use 120 Wild Herbs for Health and
Wellness
“An incredibly beautiful weaving of herbal and esoteric traditions
creating a rich tapestry of what author Sajah Popham calls
Universal Herbalism. This is a comprehensive study of not only the
principles of various modalities but also the patterns inherent
within them and how they intersect with each other. This is a
must-read for anyone looking to have a comprehensive understanding
of the expansive nature of healing and how to move into a new
herbalism.”
—Pam Montgomery, author of Plant Spirit Healing and founder of
Organization of Nature’s Evolutionaries (ONE)
“A tireless confederacy of dedicated souls strive to preserve and
pass forward our
collective herbal, alchemical, and astrological knowledge. Within
each generation a few pioneers arise to forge new schools or
mediate divergent approaches. Sajah Popham has achieved a
remarkably synthetic paradigm, integrating previous historic stages
of herbal practice with his profound understanding of energetic
systems, Eastern and Western.”
—Judith Hill, producer of the Renaissance Medicine Conference and
author of Medical Astrology: A Guide to Planetary Pathology
