 Raven Hill Botanicals has had a good run. Now it is time to close a chapter on what has absorbed every ounce of my love, attention, and energy over the last eight years. I have given my body and soul to my little business, but a person needs to know when to step back and not prolong an inevitable ending.
My products are handcrafted with the freshest and purest of ingredients and love! I carefully select and harvest organic and wildcrafted ingredients with each formula, including herbs and flowers from my botanical gardens and wildcrafted from the surrounding mountain meadows and woodlands. I then infuse selected herbs into aloe vera and skin-nutritive oils for a minimum of 4-6 weeks. To make the most active and effective natural products available, I add additional plant extracts, antioxidant plants, seed oils, and skin-supporting nutrients. Only organic ingredients and pure therapeutic-grade essential oils are used in my formulas. It is very costly, to say the least! Over the years, I have carefully developed each formula in my repertoire with my customers in mind. My brochure states: Raven Hill Botanicals is a cottage industry born out of the need to lead an existential life in nature, surrounded by beauty and nature's bounty. It was also born out of the need to know what was going into my body and skincare products. I assumed others might feel the same. Our formulas are unique! The oils alone are known for their amazing healing, conditioning, and anti-aging properties to revitalize the skin. Add to that the botanical extracts, and most importantly, the exquisite and rare healing essential oils, and you have excellent nature skincare. Our products feel so different--so alive with a distinct energetic vibration! I have tried my best to educate people on what goes into making these exquisite products. However, still, people do not want to buy because they believe my products are too expensive. With this in mind, I must say that I am not even breaking even anymore. I started Raven Hill Botanicals with my Signature Herbal Healing Salves & Balms and began making soaps, lotions, and eventually facial skincare, later on I dabbled in aromatherapy by signing up as a Wellness Advocate with doTERRA. I wanted to share these products with others and establish a synergistic way of life with my career. I have been responsible for each step of the process, from the herbal infusions to the bottling, labeling, marketing of the products. The exhaustive work of the gardens, the freedom of walking in nature foraging for herbs, barks, and wildflowers make my products unique and beautiful skincare that grace your face and body~all of this I do alone without assistance and on a minimal budget. As hard as I try to market with all of the limitations and supply and shipping issues of the worldwide pandemic has only exacerbated the situation. It is not sustainable for me to continue like this. I have only continued on this last couple of years because of my stubborn tenacity. I have done it for my loyal customers who depend on my unique formulations, but I cannot do it anymore. I am sorry. You will still be able to shop in my online store until we have sold everything in stock. I made a lot of goat milk soaps, beautifully packaged for the holiday season. When the current inventory is gone, I will close the store. I will still have the website to connect with people who would like to come out and visit in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. I will possibly start giving classes on foraging and Aromatherapy. For now, I will close by saying that the last eight years have been some of the most fulfilling years of my life~living the life I love and loving the life I live. It is time to do something different now. Blessings to all of my beloved and loyal customers. I will miss you! Namaste. Evelyn Brugger, Proprietor of Raven Hill Botanicals

 Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life… a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year — and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God ~Ray Stannard BakerThanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year because it reminds us to give thanks and to count our blessings. Suddenly, so many things become so little when we realize how blessed and lucky we are.~ Joyce Giraud

The holidays are upon us, and it will be like no other year in our lifetime because of the pandemic. During this unprecedented time of social isolation and the hardships that so many of us are enduring, I felt it essential to let you know the developments here at Raven Hill Botanicals. First, I'd like to explain my humble beginnings and why our products' integrity means so much to me, and why I feel the need to take a step back after the holidays for a bit until the economy begins to recover. I am very proud of my cottage industry, where I am responsible for all aspects of my business, from wildcrafting the herbs and formulation of the products to production and marketing. I also formulate all of the unique proprietary essential oil blends. The products' integrity is my bottom line, so I will need to take the appropriate actions until the situation changes. Please feel free to contact me at info@ravenhillbotanicals.com with comments, questions, and feedback. Throughout the year, starting as early as February, I have already been experiencing a lower than usual sales volume due to the situation's general instability. However, I continue with my business's struggle to survive this crisis, but it has not been easy. Together we can get through this because with every purchase you make; you are given a choice, not only about what you want to put on or in your body, but who and what you want to support and what defines us as a community. Thank you for your on-going support of my cottage industry. Your purchase ensures its existence. Some changes in my life circumstances have proved challenging but manageable up to this point with the on-going rigors of the pandemic and dealing with family matters that include the full in-home care of my elderly parents in their home. I will try my best to continue to offer most of my Signature products but bear in mind that the turnaround time on shipping will be a little longer. Some products will be unavailable for a period, so order early if ordering Christmas or Hanukah gifts. I have a fantastic selection of my Signature products, which include facial skincare, body care, healing salves and balms, essential oil blends, as well as goat milk soaps. I encourage my loyal customers to take advantage of the discount coupons that I have nearly every week through my newsletter. If you are not yet a member of the Raven Hill Botanicals family, please sign up for our weekly newsletters and look for news, new products to be launched there, as well as weekly discount codes and special sales. Raven Hill Botanicals products make wonderful gifts.  Organic Sacred Herbs Healing Salve |
 WILDCRAFTED, ORGANIC PAIN MANAGEMENT Made with wildcrafted and organic ingredients Here at Raven Hill Botanicals, all of our Signature Herbal Healing Salves & Balms are made in small batches the way I have been making them for many years, using garden fresh, organically grown herbs and herbal extracts from my botanical gardens and sustainably wildcrafted herbs from the surrounding mountain meadows and forests in a base of organic olive oil ~infused for at least one month, strained and then blended with healing oils, butters, bees wax & essential oils in our proprietary formulas.This is Full Spectrum CBD oil blended with the Comfrey & Arnica compound, which is why we are getting so much better results with topical pain management. ENTOURAGE EFFECT~The combined benefit resulting from the interaction between the compounds in cannabis, primarily terpenes and cannabinoids, is know as the ‘entourage effect’. When consumed (or used topically, as in this case) a wide range of cannabis ingredients tends to produce a more desirable effect than compounds consumed in isolation. (i.e.hemp seed CBD alone) We use Copaiba Essential Oil in our Sacred Herbs Pain Salve Formula. | LOCALIZED PAIN MANAGEMENT Numerous studies suggest that Cannabis can help with pain management. What makes topicals so great is that you can apply the medication right on the areas causing pain. Skin irritation is one of the most dramatic reliefs salves can provide. Reducing inflammation is a core benefit, and the reason it helps relieve so many medical symptoms. One of the biggest draws for cannabis topicals, are the fact that they do not enter the bloodstream. This means there is no psycho-activity, a major benefit when trying to exclusively experience pain/irritation relief. WHY WILDCRAFTED PRODUCTS? A selection of the herbs used in our line are hand picked in the mountains where they grow wild, ideally without human intervention and harvested following wildcrafted guidelines. When we use wild-crafted herbs, we know that no commercial farming methods have been used, and that the plants are hearty, vibrant and full of skin-nourishing nutrients. These herbs are collected in areas where pesticides have not been sprayed and ready for use in our formulas. Each product is handcrafted using our proprietary process - where we select the highest quality ingredients, infuse them in skin healthy oils and aloe then additionally craft them with potent plant extracts and nutrients to make them effective for every unique skin type. |

The 10+ Benefits Of Cannabis Topicals
1. Localized Pain Management The ”benefits of cannabis topicals pain management" Numerous studies suggest that cannabis can help with pain management. Pain management is one of the leading reasons for patients to pursue medical marijuana cards.What makes topicals so great is that you can apply the medication right on the areas causing pain. For example, if you’re experiencing neck pain, a topical can be applied directly to the neck, and relief can be experienced within 20 minutes.
2. Non-psychoactive One of the biggest draws for cannabis topicals, are the fact that they do not enter the bloodstream. This means there is no psychoactivity, a major benefit when trying to exclusively experience pain/irritation relief. Patients can apply limitlessly, without the possible side effects of too much THC.
3. Skin Irritation & Itching Skin irritation is one of the most dramatic reliefs topicals can provide. Patients who have struggled years with skin issues report feeling extremely quick relief through cannabis topicals. Those who experience rashes, eczema, and that of the like have had those issues severely or completely relieved. One patient was beaming with excitement after experiencing eczema relief through topicals. "I’ve been struggling with eczema on my hand my whole life. I’ve seen countless doctors and have been prescribed every steroid cream you can imagine. When I first heard of topicals, I was apprehensive if it could help with my pretty severe itching, swelling, and irritation. I tried topicals, and the next day it was almost completely cleared up. This made me a big believer."
4. Psoriasis Relief Psoriasis is the excessive buildup of skin cells, which causes itching, redness, and inflammation. There is no cure for this condition, and options to treat are very limited. A 2007 study suggested that cannabinoids help inhibit the buildup of skin cells. Although more research is needed for any conclusive evidence, patients are speaking out on how it is helping them. Numerous medical marijuana patients report feeling relief, and even a complete clear up of symptoms.
5. Reduces Inflammation Reducing inflammation is at the core of topicals benefits, and the reason it helps relieve so many medical symptoms. Cannabis helps by fighting inflammation through activating the CB2 receptors. Because cannabis topicals can be localized, specific bodily inflammation can be targeted more aggressively.
6. Helps With Arthritis There are many different forms of Arthritis, but the main theme it boils down to is a joint disease, leading to joint pain due to inflammation. The major symptoms include swelling, irritation, and stiffness. As mentioned before, the anti-inflammatory properties in cannabis help relieve these symptoms immensely. Cannabis topicals are showing to help patients struggling with arthritis dramatically.
7. Heals Burns Faster Because of cannabis’ pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, topicals have shown to help patients healing from burns dramatically. Patients are reporting healing faster, as well as experiencing a decrease in pain.
Below a patient shows their burn treatment of a cannabis topical versus an antibiotic cream. As you can see, the cannabis topical treatment is faster, and with less inflammation.
8. Fights Bacterial Skin Infections
Cannabinoids contain antibacterial properties. Cannabis topicals have been used by patients to help treat boils, cellulitis, folliculitis, impetigo, and more. A major benefit of cannabis topicals is that you will not experience any kind of bodily resistance to the treatment, like you may with antibiotics.
9. Therapeutic Massages
Using cannabis topicals bring a variety of benefits to therapeutic massages. This ties into the stimulation cannabis topicals have on CB2 receptors, reducing inflammation and pain. Many patients are seeing incredible results for sports injuries, neuropathy, and more through therapeutic massages.
10. Menstrual Pain
Many female patients have reported menstrual cramp relief through cannabis topicals. There are a variety of ways cannabis topicals have been applied to relieve pain. Most patients apply directly on the skin area where pain is coming from.
11. Cancer
Thousands of cancer patients have found treatment through medical marijuana. Most famously, Rick Simpson Oil has been used for to treat skin cancers, and other variations of cancer alike. The oil is used as a topical on the skin growth, and patched for several days. Some patients note results in only a few days after initial contact.

I love autumn, my favorite season. Depending on your autumnal regimen, there are pagan rituals to partake in, football homecoming games, harvest gatherings of friends and neighbors, fruits and gourds to be picked, canning, pickling and preserving and making pies, seasonal homemade wines and beers to be racked, knits and flannels to be worn, harvesting crops, firewood gathering, putting the garden to bed for the winter, walks with dogs in the forest of subtle lights. Even the smell of the air has changed and we are alert to the changing season in our bodies and minds.
There’s also something ineffable about the fleeting transition from summer to winter, making this time of year strange, sacred, and irresistible to poets. As Rilke put it, “At no other time (than autumn) does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell, the ripe earth; in a smell that is in no way inferior to the smell of the sea, bitter where it borders on taste, and more honeysweet where you feel it touching the first sounds. Containing depth within itself, darkness, something of the grave almost.” Something of the grave, indeed. A time of culmination for plant life, preparation for the animals, and rumination for us humans, fall isn’t just pumpkin spice latte season and sweater weather — it’s the threshold between life and death.

In 2008 our beautiful pine forest on the edge of the wilderness in the Garnet Range near Potomac Montana was invaded by the Western Pine Beetle. It devastated our forests. I built a log home in 2005 which was hidden from the road by the thick forest. We romped and played and had our gatherings. People camped out, we had a tipi set up year around for guests. This hasn't happened for years because we had to have our forest cut down to save the rest of the remaining trees especially around the house. What used to be a forest is now an open meadow. On this 10th year anniversary we celebrate what the Healing Hands of Time can do and how Mother Nature will heal all wounds.... Dedicated to all of those who helped with the project and all of my family and friends who have visited, camped, helped out and had good times here on the mountain!
