Each plant-dyed and plant-printed shawl is one of a kind, hand-crafted from organic and wildcrafted plants, infused with their magnificent colors, energies and healing qualities on 100% organic cotton, linen and silk.

Medicine shawls and cloth are an ancient tradition. In the Ayurveda health system, one its many components is Ayurvastra, which translates to healing cloth. Certain medicinal herbs are used in the dyeing process, infusing the fabric with the plants' healing properties—immune support, cleansing, and more— understanding that our skin is the largest organ of our bodies and it absorbs as well as releases what comes in contact with it. The most common Ayurvastra is made with turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory and other health properties.
My Three Artemisias Medicine Shawls use a variety of plants depending on the intention and season.
The processes I use throughout my Three Artemisias products are plant-based, non-toxic, low-impact, low-water. I am mindful of each step in the process as I create healing works of art to be cherished and are beneficial to the earth, rather than harming it.
