Mother Earth Plants for Health & Beauty: Indigenous Plants, Traditions & Recipes

Written by the founder of Mother Earth Essentials (an Indigenous-owned skincare and tea company), Mother Earth Plants for Health & Beauty is a collection of recipes and stories about plants and their various uses. Many of the short pieces include elements familiar to Indigenous peoples, such as family connections, residential schools, intergenerational healing, and more. Although focused on simple, practical beauty recipes, certain scientific principles, such as pH levels, are also mentioned. The recipes could be used in the classroom to integrate Indigenous perspectives and scientific principles with health and wellness.
