Spagyric herbal extracts to heal the body and evolve the soul since 2009.
Natura Sophia Spagyrics (originally Organic Unity) was founded in 2009 by Sajah and Whitney Popham with a deep calling to provide transformational healing to the world through the power of spagyric herbal extracts.
They have dedicated their lives to preserving the spagyric lineage of traditional European alchemy and providing the deepest levels of healing on the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual levels with the power of medicinal plants.

Sajah Popham, founder
Hey I'm Sajah, co-founder of Natura Sophia Spagyrics, The School of Evolutionary Herbalism, and author of Evolutionary Herbalism. I'm a father, an herbalist, spagyricist, medical astrologer, and someone simply trying to live on this Earth in a good way and make a positive difference.
My mission focuses on integrating the science and spirit of herbal medicine, developing a system that is equally holistic, healing and transformational. My approach bridges herbal traditions from across the world into a universal philosophy that encompasses clinical herbalism, Ayurveda, Western alchemy and spagyrics, medical astrology, and modern pharmacology.
I consider myself a vitalist at heart. My approach utilizes plants clinically, not only for physical healing and rejuvenation, but for the evolution of consciousness. Rather than focusing allopathically on what plants are “good for,” I focus on who the plants are as sentient beings, and how their medicine heals the body, psyche, and soul. I strive to embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves.
I live in NW Washington with my wife, son, and more animals than I can count, where I teach at my school, makes spagyric medicines, and practices my healing art. For more information about my work, visit The School of Evolutionary Herbalism and check out my book Evolutionary Herbalism here.

Whitney Popham, founder
I'm Whitney, co-founder of Natura Sophia Spagyrics and The School of Evolutionary Herbalism. I'm a mother, an herbalist, and a farmer cultivating beauty & resilience.
My life revolves around a prayer to enkindle a close relationship to the land and the elements that give us life every day. From making herbal medicine to churning butter from our cow, spinning wool from our sheep, to tending the garden, caring for livestock, preserving the harvest, I work every day to teach our children traditional ways of living close to the land as best as I can while I'm learning along the way.
My journey in herbalism began as a teenager when I started making Comfrey poultices for myself after an injury. I became thoroughly enamored with the plants and their generous healing nature. I quickly found myself completely at home in this age-old relationship between plant and human, and my path as an herbalist opened up before me.
I'm here to be a gardener, tending the plants and caretaking the precious wisdom of the medicines that have been passed down through generations, sowing seeds of their healing far and wide, to feed life and nourish the beauty that is within all living beings.
Though my background is as a clinical herbalist, currently I spend most of my time mothering and farming on our beautiful homestead in the mountains & rainforests of Northwest Washington.
