Ravenswood Natural Health

Ravenswood Natural Health Staffed & stocked by a dual-certified clinical herbalist. Effective supplements to support health & We also hold a seasonal craft bazaar beginning November 1st.

Ravenswood is the Farmington Valley's only vitamin & herb shop owned and operated by a certified clinical herbalist. We offer a wide range of high quality supplements, protein mixes, and artisan works from around New England. Just about everything you need to support a naturally healthy lifestyle, from reusable food wraps to supplements, reference books to aromatherapy supplies. We even have Small Batch Central, where you can buy all the necessary ingredients to make just a jar of lotion, infused oils, or medicinal salves. FREQUENT SHOPPER PROGRAM

First, the website host was bought & the new owner is being unhelpful for me to regain access to my own website. So... The information posted there is out of date. As of Augiust 16, 2025, the current parameters are:

You sign up with your name & phone number. For every dollar you spend, you get a point. When you accumulate 300 points, you get a $10.00 loyalty credit. We batch out the loyalty program in the first part of the following month, so you don't get instant credit; it may take a bit. No expiration dates; the points just accumulate. Consignment items do not count toward the loyalty points. All points are ongoing. We don't apply prior receipts to the program. No cash value, this is just a straight loyalty system.

Sometimes a kidney or bladder infection will sneak up on you. Most of the time, it's caused by e. coli overgrowth. Before you hit the antibiotics, why not try a cup of cold-brewed uva ursi tea? The main glucoside in it helps reduce the bacterial population, while the tannins also help clean things up. 10-12oz. cup of cool water, teabag or ball of uva ursi, & let set 1-2 hours. Drink a couple of cups for about a week.

Botanical names: Arctostaphylos uva-ursi How It Works The glycoside arbutin is the main active constituent in uva ursi and comprises up to 10% of the plant by weight. Hydroquinone derived from arbutin and methyl arbutin is a powerful anti-bacterial agent and is thought to be responsible for uva ursi...

For a breath of Spring- try forcing forsythia! Clip some budding stems (your own plants, or ask for permission from your neighbors) & set them in water. These are just about as early as I can get flowers from. Usually, I like to wait maybe a week longer, but this is ok. You get some very pretty branches, and in a couple of weeks, bright yellow flowers and green leaves.

"You don't have x? Why??? It's available online..."
*
Today's real-life example & warning: Hylands used to make a homeopathic remedy for poison ivy. They discontinued it - no longer make it, no leftover stock, not selling it anywhere. This is straight from the manufacturer TODAY.
*
Someone is selling a fake version online, but the price is ridiculous, like $80 for what should be maybe $25 max. It looks legit (except for that price) but isn't. Who knows whats really in it?
*
A similar problem with Terry Naturally products. Pirates are making really good fakes and selling them for about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of the real supplements. Terry Naturally is getting calls & complaints about adverse incidents. People demanding a refund for product that aren't theirs. They are working to get the fakes off the market but they pop right back up.
*
Both of these are exactly why you are better off buying local. I buy straight from the manufacturer or straight from known & reputable distributors who have close partnerships with the manufacturers. I can tell you who made a product & where. Also- Most online sellers have warehouses that aren't temperature-controlled, which does no good for most supplements.

Quality assured- buy local!

Still in animal trials... however, genetic therapy for osteoporosis is a distinct possibility sooner rather than later.

Osteoporosis represents an increasing health and socioeconomic burden on aging societies. Current therapeutic options often come with potentially severe side effects or lack long-term efficacy, highlighting the urgent need for more effective treatments. Identifying novel drug targets requires a thor...
