What happens when access to conventional healthcare is disrupted—by disaster, economic hardship, or overwhelmed systems? In this session, Sam Coffman—herbalist, acupuncturist, and author of Herbal Medic shares how to support some of the most common chronic conditions in the U.S. using botanical medicine.
Drawing on case studies from underserved communities and the COVID crisis, Sam demonstrates how herbs, formulas, and materia medica can help manage conditions such as asthma, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). He explores strategies for both ongoing care and acute flare-ups, offering practical guidance for self-sufficiency.
