Land Apothecary
Connecting People & Plants
Melaina created Land Apothecary in 2015 as a platform to connect people and plants. Land Apothecary's mission is to support the revitalization of traditional medicine and food practices and to contribute to the enhancement of wholistic wellness in Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.
She facilitates herbal medicine workshops and creates handcrafted herbal teas, soaps, skin care products, and herbal medicines to share and to use in her practice. She is passionate about wildcrafting and medicine making, which is rooted in her reverence for traditional knowledge about native plants, food systems, and ecology that has been entrusted and passed down to her. All her creations are made from, and inspired by, the plants she wildcrafts, with respect, from her natural surroundings. Melaina is deeply connected to Mother Earth and enjoys spending time out on the land alone and with others.
