the Seeds of Health

with Medical Astrology + Herbalism

Learn traditional wisdom to promote health and vitality

As a holistic herbalist, you don’t just want the people you serve to be free from health complaints…

You want them to be vibrantly healthy.

Physically strong. Psychologically clear. Emotionally balanced. And spiritually evolving.

The paradigm of true holistic herbalism is based not just on fixing problems, but preventatively providing balance on all levels.

Unfortunately, modern herbalism is focused too often on allopathically addressing isolated health issues while neglecting the whole person

Enhancing the Healing Power of Herbalism With the Precision of Medical Astrology

Most people don’t realize it, but astrology was once an integral part of Western herbalism and the historical practice of medicine.

The medical branch of astrology gives you a detailed map of someone’s unique physiological landscape, patterns of disharmony, and how the health of the body is intricately woven into the mind, heart, and soul.

Medical astrology reveals which plants are best to support the unique person, not just their malady. It’s a map of holistic wellness, potent herbal pharmacy, strategic formulation, and ultimately helps you to restore the whole person with the whole plant. 

The synergy of medical astrology and clinical herbalism is the ultimate map for preventative, rejuvenative, and transformational healing.

Introducing

ASTRO-HERBALISM

online course from the School of Evolutionary Herbalism

A comprehensive integretion of

CLINICAL Herbalism and Medical Astrology

This is not some woo-woo astrology class with some herbs in there. Nor is it just a list of what herbs are “good for” your sun sign. 

This is a comprehensive and deep integration of medical astrology and the fundamental principles of herbalism, both East and West, taught by an herbal practitioner who uses Astro-Herbalism clinically. 

By harnessing the precision of astrology with the potency of the plants, you’ll learn to see the deeper meaning behind patterns of health imbalance, the essential life-supporting properties of plants, and a practice where you can equally renew the body, psyche and soul.

Here's what you'll learn​

THROUGHOUT EACH PLANET AND SIGN

The core curriculum of Astro-Herbalism is learning the 10 planetary bodies and the 12 signs of the zodiac. It is a map of the planets’ and signs’ holistic relationship to both people and plants on the physical, energetic and spiritual levels. This is not just lists of plants for planets, but a deep integration of clinical herbalism and medical astrology.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Sajah Popham

Author of Evolutionary Herbalism: Science, Medicine & Spirituality from the Heart of Nature

Hey there! I'm Sajah, core instructor and founder here at the School of Evolutionary Herbalism. You're probably wondering who I am and what my qualifications are.

I received a BS in Herbal Sciences from Bastyr University in 2008, which formed my foundation in herbalism: rooted in science but also central to my Earth-centered spirituality. From there I received clinical training through studying and shadowing some incredible herbalists, like Paul Bergner, Margi Flint, Matthew Wood, and David Winston, to name a few.

Over the past decade, I have taught thousands worldwide. My goal has been to have a truly holistic approach to people and plants, one that honors the physical, energetic and spiritual aspects of life. I strive to support people in transforming their lives, not just to be symptom free— but physically vital, mentally inspired, emotionally uplifted, and growing into their life purpose. The plants are at the root of this transformational power, for that's what they have provided to me.

I hope to be able to share a little bit of the medicine I have gathered along my plant path with you
