Environmental
Ethics
Sacred Medicine Sanctuary is
proactive in many environmental pursuits, especially the need
for planetary sustainability and plant conservation. We do
our part to tread lightly by recycling peanuts and boxes used
for packing and promoting the use of biodegradable personal
hygiene products. We are as close to providing 100% organic
or consciously wildcrafted products as is possible. We are
not quite there with a few imported herbs used in certain formulas.
