Why Transparency Matters: Stewardship, Safety, and Trust at Northern Plains Naturals

When I started Northern Plains Naturals, I knew one thing for sure: I wanted every product to reflect the same care I give my family. That means no shortcuts, no mystery ingredients, and no vague promises. Just honest, handcrafted herbal care rooted in faith, science, and stewardship.

In this post, I want to share why transparency isn’t just a business value—it’s a spiritual and professional commitment.

Ingredient Integrity: What’s Inside Matters

As a registered nurse and trained herbalist, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to know what we’re putting in and on our bodies. That’s why I:

• Source ingredients meticulously, prioritizing organic, ethically harvested herbs

• Avoid fillers, artificial fragrances, and unnecessary additives

• Share full ingredient lists on every label and product page

• Include notes on sourcing, preparation, and intended use

Whether it’s a tea blend, a tincture, or a natural detergent, I want you to feel confident in every drop.

Disclaimers and Education: Because You Deserve Clarity

You’ll notice that every product comes with clear disclaimers and usage notes. That’s not just for compliance—it’s for your peace of mind. I believe in:

• Educating customers about herbal safety and interactions

• Clarifying that my products are not medical treatments

• Encouraging informed, prayerful decision-making

I also include educational resources and references whenever possible, especially in science-heavy sections of my workbook. Because trust grows when we share knowledge—not just claims.

My Nursing Lens: Stewardship in Action

With over 18 years in healthcare, I’ve learned that stewardship means caring for others with both heart and rigor. That’s why I:

• Approach herbal formulation with clinical caution and respect

• Stay up-to-date on herbal research and safety standards

• Support caregivers and families through my nursing work and product design

I don’t just want to sell herbal products—I want to equip you with tools that support wellness, worship, and wise living.

What You Can Expect

When you shop with Northern Plains Naturals, you can expect:

• Full transparency on ingredients, sourcing, and preparation

• Clear disclaimers and educational support

• Products made with prayer, purpose, and professional care

Thank you for trusting me with your wellness journey. It’s a responsibility I hold with reverence—and a joy I carry with gratitude.

With grace and integrity,
