5 out of 5 starsI’m in love with the lotions. I use them for my feet. But this has really helped my brother whom has special needs and wears a diaper. It has really helped along with everything we have been doing. Will be back

Thank you so much for writing a review and sharing yours and your brother's experience with the healing balms. We use Diabetic Balm on our son's feet. He has chronic eczema and his feet were prone to cracking and splitting. Grateful to see Medicine Touch is bringing you relief.

5 out of 5 starsLove this lotion! My hands and skin are super dry and I have tried all sorts of creams, salves and lotions. I am amazed and so happily surprised at how this lotion leaves my skin soft, smooth and supple. I appreciate the simple natural ingredients and the scent is so pleasing. Gratitude and blessings to the Blackfoot women who make this product line. Buy Native, Support Indigenous!

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
At this time, we do not offer customized or personalized orders. If you select an item from our drop down menu, we will send you that item. Please do not request color modifications, etc. via message. We will no longer cancel/refund orders that select the item and then request modifications. The item you selected will be shipped and you will be charged for that item.
Gift wrapping and packaging
We can gift wrap an item at a modest cost. Please indicate gift wrap at time of purchase.
Care instructions
If you purchase a fleece blanket from our shop, please note these are machine washable. We recommend a cold cycle to start for maintaing vibrant colors. We also recommend a low cycle on the dryer.
We include care instructions on all item listings that require special handling.
Sizing details
Uncertain of dimensions, ask before you purchase. This is especially important to ensure medallion strands will fit over your head, musical instruments are the right size for use, and to prevent requests for return.
We will no longer accept returns on musical instruments, such as the flutes, hand drums, native rattles or drums. These items are carefully packaged to ensure the integrity of the craftmanship is intact and the buyer receives a quality, affordable piece. Contact me immediately if the item arrives damaged from shipping.
Returns During time of COVID
We will not accept returns of wind instruments (flutes) due to concerns over hygiene. The nature of a wind instrument is that the player will put his/her mouth on the instrument. All sales of flutes are final. Please feel free to ask questions about size, pitch, tone, etc before placing an order.
During this time of COVID we cannot accept returns on blankets, apparel, socks, hats, stuffed animals, jewelry or body salves/lotions/soaps, etc.
Please contact us immediately if your item arrives broken to discuss exchange/replacement options.
First class domestic Shipping
Unless you pay for priority shipping, we will be unable to guarantee arrival of items. We will also not refund purchases that don't arrive, if you elect to not insure or ship priority mail.
Online sales have picked up and the postal service says to allow for more time. First class packages have taken a "back-seat" to priority and often end up in postal distribution centers longer than projected.
We've seen this trend since the holiday shipping trend of 2020 and it continues into 2021 with weather and other related delays.
Accidental Purchases Asking for Return
In short, shop owners are assessed fees for every transaction that occurs. We will no longer process returns for an accidental purchase. Please be mindful of completing your transaction. If possible, we may be able to do an exchange, but we will no longer grant a refund.
