Earth Mama's Apothecary Ltd.

Our Story

It took us 2 years to get licensed by Health Canada, as we had to prove with modern published medical studies done on human subjects (studies on rats, primates or in vitro were not acceptable) that all of the herbs in all of our formulations are both safe and effective by modern standards and have a long history of use. Having licenses means that we have to use herbs that have been lab-tested for chemical and microbial contaminants (and are non-GMO), have our products tested for said contaminants and that we have to follow very strict manufacturing regulations and processes of sanitation, production, labelling and record-keeping. As well, the medicinal concentrations in our formulations have been calculated to conform to safe dosing standards--again based on published research. When you look online and see ointments that have been made with herbs but are unlicensed, just know that there has been no research done for modern safety and efficacy nor is there even a medicinal concentration listed, or any research done on adverse effects or drug/pharma interactions. We are passionate about making medicines--our goal and our sincere desire is to help people heal, and not to harm them. As such, we feel that the additional expenses of having licenses from Health Canada for our formulations is worth it, and we hope they will help to give you assurance about their safety and effectiveness.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to offer an effective and natural alternative to pharmaceutical medicines and/or mass-produced medicines (that contain alcohol and chemical additives/preservatives) for self-care (treating minor injuries and ailments). We spent two years getting our formulations licensed by Health Canada to ensure the safety and effectiveness of our products (when used according to directions) and also the safety of the manufacturing process. Herbal Medicine is our passion (both from traditional and scientific points of view) and our goal is to provide alternative self-care formulations for people who are conscious of the chemicals they expose themselves to and who want to benefit from traditional remedies that have a very long history of use. Because we are passionate about plant medicines, we are also an environmentally-conscious company that believes in Conservation from a grass-roots, local level to a national level. We hope to appeal to people who care deeply about our planet's health in relation to their own.
