In this video, Sajah Popham from the School of Evolutionary Herbalism discusses health and disease as dynamic, evolving processes shaped by both innate constitution and accumulated life experience. He describes how each person is born with a unique constitutional nature, while environmental exposures, habits, illnesses, and patterns of suppression gradually layer upon that foundation over time. Drawing on traditional medical frameworks, he explains how these layers can obscure the core constitution and contribute to chronic imbalance, often long before overt disease appears.
πΏ Hereβs What Youβll Learn:
-The nature vs. nurture conundrum
-How our inborn constitution shapes the strengths and weaknesses of our bodies and organs
-How traditional medicine understands health and disease as dynamic, evolving states
-The difference between innate constitution and acquired patterns of imbalance
-How environmental exposures, habits, and suppression create layers over time
-Why chronic illness often develops gradually rather than appearing suddenly
-How to assess where someone falls along the spectrum between health and disease
-Why effective herbal therapeutics often require addressing imbalance layer by layer

ABOUT EVOLUTIONARY HERBALISM
ββββββββββββ
Evolutionary Herbalism is built upon holistic philosophies of herbalism and nature from across the world. From Ayurveda and alchemy, to clinical herbalism, medical astrology and modern science, this approach seeks to unite traditional models of plant medicine into a cohesive clinical practice. This holistic model of herbalism honors the whole plant and the whole person, and seeks to utilize medicinal plants in a way that equally addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual sides of healing.
