Rachel Jannati, Traditional Medicine: Devil's Club Workshop

Rachel Jannati, a Traditional Knowledge Keeper shares how each of us can live in harmony with nature and enjoy the benefits of Traditional plant medicines. Her passion has led to the creation of a unique line of skin care products that uses all native plants harvested from K'ómoks First Nation territory. 

4 Sacred's Indigenous skin care brings the very best to soothe, hydrate and rejuvenate our bodies while honouring our Cultural Traditions. Her line features Sage, Stinging Nettle, Wild Rose, Snow Mushroom, Cedarwood and Devil's Club—all harvested through the sacred practice is steeped in the respectful tradition of taking only what is needed and thanking the Earth for the bounty received.

4 Sacred follows Indigenous protocols around harvesting in their sustainable harvesting model and apply an ethical picking practice—utilizing just 20% of a crop area so plants will reproduce naturally and be available for all year after year. Her products have a positive impact on the community by keeping Traditional Medicine alive and teaching people about the Traditional uses of each of the plants. 

Rachel will be hosting a Devil's Club Workshop at this year's festival. We are excited to learn what she has to share and to spend time absorbing her extensive knowledge of our sacred plants. ​This is knowledge passed down from generation to generation—and now to all of you!
