Just about everything you need to support a naturally healthy lifestyle, from reusable food wraps to supplements, reference books to aromatherapy supplies.

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 The information posted there is out of date.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.

Skunk Solutions - thank you, history!
*
Hello! A bit of an adventure this morning: We had something argue with a skunk last night, outside, likely close to my office. Inside is a bit whiffy. Ahem. So I conjured Napoleon's perfume blend for the diffuser. I looked up an extant recipe for him that National Geographic re-created long ago. Substituted as necessary, & found that it works wonders on skunks, too. You will have to play with amounts, depending on the affected room size.
*
Napoleon's re-mastered De-Skunk Diffuser Blend

*
Lemon
Bergamot (I often use NOW Foods' Smiles for Miles, a citrus-spice blend)
Rosemary
Holiday Blend (Plantlife Holiday, Leyden House New England Holiday, a winter spice blend)
MAYBE a frankincense-patchouli blend (Plantlife Gounded)--- replaces some of the now-illegal ingredients, but has backfired (pun intended) on me a few times. works occasionally depending on the severity of the skunking
*
AVOID: lavender- amplifies the skunkiness ridiculously; snadalwood, even though it was in the original formula - it makes it smell like an uncleaned barn; florals like rose or ylang ylang - they really REALLY do not play well together. Peppermint is very iffy, again depending on how skunky. The lighter skunkings might work with peppermint, but it's less successful overall. Minty fresh skunk is not very pleasant.
*
I go heavier on the citrus & citrus blends, then layer in the spicier blends. Total is about 50-60 drops for 400sf room plus adjacent rooms. Add more later in the day if necessary.
*
I have all the blends at the shop rtight now if you too have a skunk issue.
*
cheers! Sara & the skunks 🦨🦨🦨

Let's talk ivermectin.
*
1. Ivermectin: a prescription-only antiparasitic drug. It treats parasites internally & externally.
*
2. Ravenswood cannot & will not carry it.
*
3. It DOES NOT CURE COVID. Period.
*
4. Why some people think it "cures" Covid:
A. The Covid virus produces a sickness that is just plain a nasty flu in about 75-85% of the cases.
*
B. The areas first reporting treating & "curing" were tropical climates with poorer quality health care systems.
*
C. Many people in those area have underlying parasitic loads & chronic bacterial infections.
*
D. Giving ivermectin and a 5-day antibiotic course frees up the body's immune system to better fight off any other infection, such as viral Covid. The drugs did not cure Covid at all.
*
E. Someone in the USA is better off taking either pharma antivirals or supporting their immune response with supplements.
*
F. Ravenswood has many useful herbs and supplements that have been used successfully in North America to help support immune response.

This is not my opinion. This is plain, straight science.
