Podcasts about herbal medics

Austere Medicine (pronounced aw-steer) – the practice of remote field medicine in wilderness, post-disaster situations and emergency situations.  This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we are featuring the best-selling author, US Army and US Special Forces Medic Veteran, clinical herbalist, austere medicine specialist, wilderness survival expert, and all-around badass, Sam Coffman. Listen in as Thomas and Sam dive into an engaging conversation surrounding what austere medicine is, why this realm of study is invaluable to every survival-enthusiast and herbalist alike, and how a bit of herbal education, wilderness experience, and a survivalist mindset could very well save someone's life someday–-even your own!

Sam Coffman, an herbal medic with three decades of experience, talks about the effectiveness and sustainability of using herbalism as a way to provide health care in remote regions or crisis circumstances with a minimum of medical supplies, both for acute care and trauma as well as for chronic conditions. He weighs in on the popularity herbal remedies have gained in the last 20 years and emphasizes the importance of getting familiar with herbs by watching them grow through at least one life cycle. Sam Coffman began his medical education in the military as a U.S. Special Forces Medic (aka Green Beret medic) in 1989. He is the founder of The Human Path/Herbal Medics Academy and co-founder of Herbal Medics which is the school's outreach organization that works with underserved communities. The school teaches an integrative medical model that combines herbalism and orthodox western medicine. He has co-created nearly 2000 hours of pathophysiology-based herbal medicine curriculum, and led hundreds of herbal clinics in remote, austere, post-disaster and underserved areas.
