The following two pictures are of herbs traditionally used in ceremony by Native North American Indian tribes. Any herbs we sell that are traditionally used by American Indians, whether on the North, Central or Southern continents are purchased from native owned businesses.
This is Sweetgrass. It comes from many areas in the North. The scent of this grass is divine! Just smelling these beautiful braids gets me happy! Sweetgrass is also used to smudge with but always use the sage first. Sweetgrass is food for all things so you want to purify first. The braids are burned, made into tea, hung over doors, windows, in cars, over stoves and beds for blessing on all People walking, sleeping,being prepared or just being around it. The sweetgrass where I'm from doesn't smell like this but is used for basket weaving by the Seminole Indians.
I love this picture of my plant helper California White Sage! Thanks to the digital age even people with zero photography skills can take nice photos, LOL. California white sage is one of the most fragrant plants. It can be used for tea, chewing or burning. It's a wonderful plant to burn for cleansing an area.
This is a bowl of Lavender angustafolia essential oil. Though not FDA approved (I guess there's no pharmacy trying to use it), The active chemical constituents in this type of Lavender can help with inflammation, depression and anxiety. Want more information? Come have a complementary cup of tea with me and we'll talk aromatherapy!

WHAT YOU'LL NEVER FIND AT KACHINA HERBS
Animal parts or animal testing
Unethically harvested materials for essential oil production. This means we are currently not carrying Sandalwood or Palo Santo essential oils. These oils come from trees that must be cut down for the eo and their populations are being decimated by the demand for these oils.There are currently no farms growing these trees for production. If somebody tells you their oils are from farm raised trees they are either blissfully ignorant of the real situation or lying. If I find an ethical harvest of either one of the oils - and can confirm the claims of the distiller, I will let you know.
OUR SOAPS ARE:
*100% Pure Soap
*Hypo-Allergenic
*Non-Comedogenic

Who I'd like to meet:
After working with essential oils and herbs for over 20 years I started my own business which is all about complimenting health and hygiene naturally. I have two rockin' kids, one a punky fashionista, one still finding her way and life is just pretty perfect.
I'm looking for new friends and old ones too, but I'm really interested in quality, not quantity.If you accept an invite to be my friend you'll be getting bulletins for indie fashion and accessories and crafty events in my area...a lot of political bulletins too.
I'm looking to meet people who are interested in working with herbs and true essential oils. People who are motivated, sincere, live with honor. People who work in the medical profession and are open to and actively seek complementary methods of holistic healing, artists, activists, herbalists, DIY'ers...I would love to meet people who really and truly walk their talk. No pretenders I've had enough of that to last me several lifetimes!
