"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
"Sajah Popham has written an intelligent and genuine book in which
his deep caring for the world and the suffering of people shines
through. Evolutionary Herbalism is a wide-ranging,
synergistic exploration of multiple systems of traditional herbal
healing."
--Stephen Harrod Buhner, author of Plant Intelligence and the
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 For t, 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
