A little about who we are.
Welcome to Mother Trees LLC.
We are a combination of Southern Appalachian as well as Mountain Cherokee /Choctaw decendent, and Red Cliff and Fond Du Lac Bands of Lake Superior Chippewa Nations, married together to bring you our version of home remedies and first medicines used and handed down through many generations, dreams, visions and some self-teaching. We are wild-crafted eco-friendly, parcially sustatainable & vegan. We work with the youth and the communities around us to preserve and pass on the wisdom shared with us by our ancestors & pass on to our communities so they can be more self sufficient & reverse negative cycles to become more health minded and learn alterative ways of more healthy alternatives to living and self relliance.
We collect our plant helpers in a sacred way with reciprocity and thanksgiving & a song, asking their permission to use their medicines and we never collect our plant helpers in a negative intent. We teach our children the values in respecting and protecting Mother Earth. We do not make great claims these remedies will work as a cure, but we do claim to do our best to help, not only through our salves, oils & soaps but through our stories, our community connections and most of all the Mentors, The Teachers, Friendships and Family we have met along the way.
