Native seeds are usually added by the customers. We dont always send them
on overseas orders because
of Import / Export rules on seeds.
An informative tag (supplied) states;
"The American Indian medicine bag
was always carried by the medicine man. The Medicine Man was the next most
important member of the tribe after the chief, he was responsible for the
healing of the sick and injured, predicting the future and driving away evil
spirits.
Each of the contents of the bag has a
specific purpose and their meaning is symbolised by the charm. The cloth was
used as a symbol of healing, the stones characterize strength-the type of stone
selected was based on both the type of the illness and the position of the
member within the tribe, the turquoise blue is the traditional stone of the
indian. the stick was used to drive away the evil spirits, the seeds symbolize
the seeds of life and were used for fertility, growth and longevity.
The feather is the symbol of free spirit.
With the right mix, the medicine man
could not only achieve miraculous healing, but could also bring about an
important balance and harmony in life.
Try selecting the
right mix to bring a balance to your life.
Other
charms may be added to achieve the ultimate harmony"
