#46 - Join us for an amazing conversation with Clinical Herbalist & Teacher Sam Coffman on how incorporating multiple paradigms in clinical herbalism can support an effective and truly integrative approach to health. In this episode, Sam shares first-hand experiences on working with the healing power of herbs in Echinacea, Comfrey, Horsetail, Prickly Pear, and others in wilderness medicine, wilderness first aid situations, and complex clinical cases. He also offers deep wisdom on how his journey in many different realms of life including clinical herbalism, martial arts, the Special Forces, linguistics, philosophy, music, western medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has shaped his relationship with the Earth. Sam Coffman (MSAOM, RH[AHG]) began his medical education in the Army as a Special Forces Medic (aka Green Beret medic) in 1989. Over the years that followed, he looked toward herbalism as a way to provide sustainable health care in remote and post-disaster regions for chronic, acute and physical trauma care. Over the following three decades, Sam's primary goal has become the creation of an integrative medical model that embraces vitalistic, TCM and western medical approaches to herbalism into a collaboration with western orthodox models of diagnosis and treatment for acute and chronic health care conditions. Sam has taught herbalism for over 30 years and has worked as a clinical herbalist for over 15 years. He founded and runs Herbal Medics Academy (AKA The Human Path), which offers four primary programs - Clinical Herbalism, Austere Medicine, Advanced Medicine Making, and Family Herbalism.

In this chat with Guido Masé, one of my herbal heroes, you'll hear the many, many gifts of Yarrow. Then, we get a glimpse into what's on Guido's mind these days.  This conversation is a real treat. I love how Guido weaves together many seemingly different pieces of herbalism, whether it's chemical constituents, heart centered healing, or even mythology and folklore. He also perfectly summarizes why I love being an herbalist.  You'll also receive instant access to a FREE recipe card with Guido's instructions for how to make yarrow powder from the fresh plant.  I love this recipe for many reasons. One is that yarrow powder is a truly wondrous healer for cuts and scrapes. This is one remedy you'll never want to be without! Another is that rather than letting any part of the plant go to waste, Guido also shares how you can process and use the yarrow stalks to cast the I Ching, a traditional Chinese oracular system.

This class was recorded at the superb event: The Great Lakes Herb Faire.  If you've not been and you're in the region, I encourage you to try and make it to the 2018 shindig. Here's the details: Great Lakes Herb Faire September 7 - 9, 2018 Cedar Lake Outdoor Center, 2500 Pierce Rd, Chelsea, Michigan "We have had three amazing Faires so far and are so looking forward to doing this again! The feedback we received from people who attended was overwhelmingly positive. People were excited to network and meet other herbalists in their communities, learn directly from teachers rather than relying on books, and walk the trails on the surrounding land meeting the herbs in person. There were many kids attending and we heard from parents and the kids themselves that they couldn't wait to come back next year! There was amazing energy from everyone, the food was delicious and the marketplace was loaded with fantastic herbal creations." - Anna Fernandez I had the great fortune of attending the 2017 Faire (as a representative for Mountain Rose Herbs) and I concur on all of that. And yes, the food was phenomenal!  If interested in purchasing recordings from the 2016 and 2017 Faires (for a great price) you can do so here>> RECORDINGS I also ended up going on this epic plant walk with Betzy Bancroft! Thanks to Anna and Betzy for letting me share it on the HerbRally podcast.  I hope y'all enjoy it! I think it's fun to listen to plant walks personally. Especially as we head into the winter. Takes me back to that beautiful September day in Michigan :) Here's the description for the walk from the website: Developing a deep understanding of a few common weeds helps us save the native and less common species for special needs. On this walk we’ll include discussion of the abundance or ecological concerns of the herbs we meet, in addition to the medicinal and edible uses. And probably spend a lot of time on a few common weeds . . . .  LIKE THE GREAT LAKES HERB FAIRE ON FACEBOOK A little bit about Betzy...
