Integrative Herbalism & Wilderness Medicine with Sam Coffman

The Plant Spirit Podcast with Sara Artemisia

#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.
