It’s autumn! And that means it’s vata season. I thought it’d be fun to republish this timely episode with Amanda Stanley. This recording was episode 11 of the HerbRally podcast, so newer listeners may not have made it that far back in the archives.
Amanda is an Ayurvedic herbalist, yogi and reiki practitioner. I loved gaining new insight in this system of herbalism. She has a wonderful way of weaving the philosophy of Ayurveda with practical health practices we could all stand to implement more of in our daily lives.
I got a lot out of this episode and I know you'll come away inspired!
Thanks so much to Amanda for sharing her wealth of knowledge.

Krystal is the woman behind Hotel Wilderness, a food and project blog focused on bringing healing herbs into the nooks and crannies of our daily lives. She is a photographer with a deep-seated love for food and plant medicine, and can usually be found happily crafting between the three.
Today we’ll hear Mandy Gough interview Sam Coffman as they discuss the Wilderness First Aid Program.
Mandy Gough owns and operates XoM3 Botanical Solutions. XoM3 Botanical Solutions is a boutique company with an herbal practitioner's expertise, dedicated to gathering the finest organic and ethically selected, grown and foraged ingredients to formulate and handcraft exceptional small batch botanical products and workshops for real people in skin care, wellness and home.
Sam Coffman has over 10 years of military experience as a U.S. Special Forces Medic, an interrogator and a linguist. He studied botany and bioregional medicine both privately and at several outdoor schools in Colorado, and during his military service as a Green Beret Medic he logged thousands of hours in the field as a team medic, military emergency rooms and troop medical clinics.
Over the past 25 years, Sam has not only taught survival for military and civilian students, but also has focused on post-disaster and remote-medicine using primarily (if not exclusively) plant medicine. He has worked as a clinical herbalist on his own and in conjunction with functional medicine doctors (M.D. and D.O.) for chronic as well as acute illness and injury. Sam has been highly focused on bio-regional plant medicine for infection, injury and illness most commonly encountered in a post-disaster, remote or underserved environment when there is no higher definitive medical care.
Sam has taught wilderness first aid certification, remote and post-disaster herbal medicine, urban and primitive survival skills and self-defense for over two decades. He is co-founder of the non-profit organization – Herbal Medics – that travels to remote areas in Nicaragua as well as medically underserved urban areas in the USA, providing herbal medicine clinics, off-grid and salvage-based engineering solutions (water purification, sustainable power, sustainable agriculture, etc.).
As someone who listens to a lot of audio books, I’m really excited to publish today’s episode! Listen in as Heather Irvine narrates the first chapter to Phyllis Light’s new book, Southern Folk Medicine.
It’s a great book and a great reading! Thanks to Phyllis for sharing such fantastic storytelling and information, and thanks to Heather for taking the time to read this for us.
Enjoy!
“Survival was more important than modality purity.
Simple practices of folk medicine develop to assist in the every day life, health, and prosperity of ordinary people.
Even if you are not aware of it, you’ve probably practiced some type of folk medicine. ”
