Hi, my name is Erin Ethier. I am the founder and herbalist at Earthly Remedies. I’ve been working herbs since I was in my early 20s . When I got diagnosed with MS over 20 years ago I decided I had to take better care of myself and that meant changing how I ate, what I exposed myself to, and learning more about the herbal world. That is what really started this journey for me. At that same time, I had my first son and then 3 years later had my second son. My younger son ended up having a bunch of allergies and I found that making my own products for him seemed to help resolve a lot of the issues he was having. I stopped buying cleaning products, lotions, bubble baths, and soaps and made my own. I simplified things a lot and started making most of my own botanical skincare products just for our family. After a while friends and extended family were intersted in more natural and holistic products. That eventually grew into what has become Earthly Remedies when we started back in 2009! We were fortunate enough in 2022 to move to a place that allows us to farm more. We have greenhouses and animals and trails in the woods. I am able to grow a lot of the herbs that I use in my products. We use organic growing practices along with no till and regenerative farming practices. We are no spray here on the property and do a lot of handpicking for bugs.
I studied and took Rosemary Gladstar's Science and Art of Herbalism. I took the Herbal Academy Advanced Herbal Course for clinical herbalist… see the student right up that was done on me! https://theherbalacademy.com/erin-ethier/
I have been taking classes with Revolutionary Herbalism with Sajah Popham. I have studied under Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower and I continue to work with her as she has become a dear friend and mentor of mine. I am a member of the American Botanical Council, The herb society of America, and United Plant Savers.
I have taken a variety of other online essential oil and herbal classes: classes with Jessie Hawkins from the Vintage Remedies Learning Center; herbal courses from Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine; herbal classes with Dr. Elderberry; essential oil classes from the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine; essential oil classes from the School for Aromatic Studies; and also attended many online essential oil summits and continuing education webinars on herbalism and have also participated in seminars on nutrition. I have listened to many others speak on herbalism and healing and through my mother and a dear childhood friend, I have learned the majority of what I know. I have been around plants and herbs my whole life. What I love about the herbal world is that it is so magical and has so much to offer and teach us. We never never stop learning from it.
I am a non-certified organic grower whose goal is to be as sustainable as possible. We are starting to do this through the idea of no-till practices. This allows us to rebuild our soil with things like manure and compost. We grow most of our own vegetables that are used for putting food up for the winter. I grow a lot of the herbs that I use in many of my products. I and my husband are "mostly" vegetarian but raise our own chickens and ducks for eggs. We also tend a couple of beehives and collect honey in the fall. We have a small orchard of fruit trees, including apples, peaches, and pears. I sell our extra produce and eggs along with fresh medicinal herbs throughout the summer as they are available. In the fall I typically have raw honey that is available for sale, but it goes very quickly. You are welcome to stop by the farm to grab what is available as I have it.
What we put on our skin matters; it gets absorbed through our pores and makes its way into our bloodstream affecting our vital organs.
Earthly Remedies makes an all-natural line of organic and locally made plant medicine, herbal wellness, botanical skincare, and body-care products. I also see a small number of clients and do herbal consulting. My products include, but aren't limited to, herbal tinctures/extracts, herbal syrups, herbal teas, deodorants, lip-balms, herbal salves, hand and body creams, tooth powder, eczema creams, dry shampoo, herbal buckwheat bags, baby products, pet products, wool dryer balls, and much more. They are made with products such as beeswax (of which I use some of my own), organic Shea butter, organic cocoa butter, our own raw honey, a variety of organic essential oils, and organic herbs that I grow and forage myself. Everything is made fresh in small batches with all-natural materials.
I am committed to providing products that are 100% natural, 100% chemical free, and mostly all organic
(which means no petroleum, no preservatives, no parabens, no GMOs, no synthetic fragrances, no artificial colors, and no stabilizers). I do not test on animals and none of the raw materials that I source are tested on animals. I use as much recycled packaging as I can. I ask that you wash and find other uses for the glass packaging or that you recycle it. I can take the glass bottles back and reuse them only if they have been cleaned and the labels removed. The only animal-based product that is used is beeswax - I do not use any other animal-based products in my products line.
My goal is to do no harm to both the environment and to our bodies. You can rest assured that when you purchase a product with the Earthly Remedies name that you are supporting a small business that truly cares about you and the environment.
Business Practices and Ingredients: I use a large selection of organic herbs that I grow or forage or source from organic suppliers that I trust such as foster farm botanicals. I try to source as many ingredients as I can from local suppliers whenever possible. I source my gluten-free and organic alcohol from a company out in Mass. I purchased my organic buckwheat from the Finger Lakes. We use wool that is local from Schoharie County and from Maine. Essential oils and carrier oils are purchased from highly reputable organic suppliers such as Florahana and Mountain Rose Herbs. I use organic fabric. I purchase most of my labels, design work, and packaging from small local companies like JEG Design. When I run out of my own beeswax and honey, I purchase it from a local source about 5 miles down the road. Whenever possible I limit the use of packaging materials to help protect the environment, we also reuse all the packaging material that we get in with shipments.

I do not give out herbal/medical/health information or advice via email, phone, or text. I do provide herbal consultations in person or on doxy.me. I work with herbs and nutrition to help support your health and to help you become an advocate for yourself.
