Mother Earth Essentials
Mother Earth Essentials is a proudly Indigenous-owned company that looks to the owner's culture and traditions to guide business and incorporate traditional Indigenous ingredients to create products that honour and promote Indigenous culture, respect Mother Earth, nurture the human body and inspire the human spirit.
Mother Earth Essentials was founded by Carrie Armstrong (Cree), who comes from a long line of Cree Medicine women. She is passionate about sharing her Indigenous culture and the spiritual properties handed down to her from elders and medicine people. We've created our product based upon these traditional teachings, the plants that are found around us and a philosophy steeped in respect for our environment. We believe in the quality of our products and aim to honour the properties of all of the plants we use.

Synopsis:
Canadians from coast to coast know the spicy, resinous fragrance of cedar, traditionally known as a calming & grounding plant.
Cedar is nature’s purifier and boasts a distinctly resinous fragrance. Leaves are cleaned from the stems and separated into small pieces to be used in many ways (for making tea, bathing and ceremony). It represents grounding, maturity, purification and balance. Elders suggest walking with cedar in your shoes to walk in a good way down your path and it was one of the first gifts of natural healing shared with settlers upon their arrival (its high vitamin C content was a great antidote for scurvy). It is the western direction of the medicine wheel.

Synopsis:
Sage Scented Candle - 4 oz.
The pungent, herbal bouquet of sage brings us out onto the wide-open, windswept summer prairies. A spiritual cleansing plant used in smudging, sage represents youth and the warmth of the southern sun in the North American medicine wheel.
Sage is found abundantly in dry areas of North America and has an herbal, spicy scent. It is used in ceremony for smudging; as a means to cleanse negativity from ourselves and our spaces. Our ancestors also used different varieties of sage for medicinal purposes. It is the southern direction of the medicine wheel.

Synopsis:
The comforting, haystack scent of sweetgrass walks us out into a fragrant meadow. This sweet aromatic essence is known to soothe & calm.
Sweetgrass is sometimes called the hair of Mother Earth and is considered a sacred gift. After the grass is harvested, it is carefully braided; the three sections representing mind, body, and spirit. By braiding it, we bring those aspects of our being together, care for and strengthen them. When we smudge with sweetgrass, we are taught that the smoke from that burning sweetgrass prepares us for prayer because the scent is pleasing to the Creator. It is the northern direction of the medicine wheel.
