The Book:
evolutionary herbalism
Science, Medicine & Spirituality from the Heart of Nature
learn a universal system of herbalism
for physical healing & spiritual transformation
From clinical Western herbalism, Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, to Medical Astrology, Spagyric Alchemy, and plant consciousness, Evolutionary Herbalism explores the universal themes of herbal traditions throughout the world.
This integrative approach balances the science and spirit of plant medicine, sharing a practice that equally heals disease and evolves consciousness for a new paradigm of herbalism.
This is unlike any other herb book on your shelf.
It’s not a “use this herb for that symptom” guide or a book of kitchen recipes. It’s not a list of actions, constituents, or simple 3-sentence descriptions of herbs.
Evolutionary Herbalism is an exploration of the fundamental patterns in Nature at the root of the great herbal traditions of the world.
It’s a treatise on what “holistic” really means, where we see the wholeness of life within people and plants. It’s a bridge between the science and spirit of herbalism, a return to our ancestral origins where we learn from the plants themselves.
It’s a calling for humanity to return to the intelligence of Nature, so we can find our own true Nature within.
Evolutionary Herbalism is a vision of a new paradigm of herbalist that heals the roots of disease – whether in the body, mind, or soul.

“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, author of Medical Astrology: A Guide to Planetary Pathology
“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.
