The Plant Path: Clinical Herbalism, Medical Astrology & Spagyric Alchemy

by Sajah & Whitney Popham, founders of The School of Evolutionary Herbalism

The Plant Path is the official podcast from Sajah Popham and The School of Evolutionary Herbalism. Our goal is to provide insights, skills and tools for the practice of true holistic herbalism grounded in tradition. We strive to share an equal balance of clinical strategies and spiritual perspectives on people, plants and the healing journey. The unique approach involves traditional Western herbalism, Ayurveda, spagyric alchemy, astrological medicine, and modern science. We don't just focus on what herbs are "good for," but rather how you can work with them to heal, consciously evolve and be of service to your family, community or clinic.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Thank you so much for the plant path podcast. As a beginning, clinical herbalist, the information that you share with all of us is astounding. You have an uncanny ability to simplify very complex concepts in a way that I truly understand. I always look forward to your next podcast.

I love hearing your friendly voice explain herbalism to me in such a consumable manner. It is infectious and keeps me coming back.

I always enjoy tuning into The Plant Path! I love how Sajah always ties in many perspectives of herbalism from Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, to traditional Western herbalism and astrology. He has a wonderful calm and casual delivery of really excellent educational information that makes it easy to relate to and incorporate into my own framework of thinking about herbs in my own life and studies. I hope one day to take a course from The School of Evolutionary Herbalism, but until then I so appreciate Sajah and Whitney providing this resource to the greater public! Thank you!!
