This was one of my first serious herb books and also served as my university textbook. If I had to make one herb book recommendation to you, this would be in the top five, if not the top three. In this post, I’m going to walk you through what's in this book, what I like about it, and why I’m recommending it to you and all herbalists. In this post, you’ll learn what this book has to offer, including: -An overview of the book—what’s included and what I find most useful -An excellent discussion of treatment approaches by body system -How Hoffman’s simple, logical formulas can shape your practice -Why Hoffman’s action-based approach to herbal medicine is so effective -Who this book is for—and why I keep coming back to it ———————————— ABOUT EVOLUTIONARY HERBALISM ———————————— Evolutionary Herbalism is built upon holistic philosophies of herbalism and nature from across the world. From Ayurveda and alchemy, to clinical herbalism, medical astrology and modern science, this approach seeks to unite traditional models of plant medicine into a cohesive clinical practice. This holistic model of herbalism honors the whole plant and the whole person, and seeks to utilize medicinal plants in a way that equally addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual sides of healing. ———————————— ABOUT SAJAH ———————————— Sajah Popham is the author of Evolutionary Herbalism and the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in a holistic system of plant medicine that encompasses clinical Western herbalism, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and spagyric alchemy. His mission is to develop a comprehensive approach that balances the science and spirituality of plant medicine, focusing on using plants to heal and rejuvenate the body, clarify the mind, open the heart, and support the development of the soul. This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves. ———————————— To see the full blog post, more free videos and training, head over to our blog at: https://tinyurl.com/33myybe9 ———————————— Subscribe to our podcast, The Plant Path: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
