Handcrafted - The Indigenous Peoples of the Sonoran desert taught the making of effective remedies through the combination of specific herbs and emotional intent. Additionally, waste was never allowed so they made them in small batches. Today, we honor their teachings by following their traditional methods of making remedies in the same manner, one small batch at a time.
Stewardship - Doing the right thing is always the right thing, that’s why we promise to always practice sustainable and ethical means of procuring herbs needed to create our traditional remedies. By continually nurturing active stewardship of the plants and soil we ensure the availability of these traditional remedies for generations to come.
Authenticity - Our special relationship with Plants & Place conveys authenticity and potency in our various herbal remedies. Through a distinct lineage of indigenous herbalism, a strong relationship to traditional practices carries through in all that we do.
