(this is an update to my earlier post)

I am sorry to say that the owner of Devonshire Apothecary has had to decide to discontinue doing business, as of December of 2009.

As of December, 2009, what I have shared about the wonderful essential oils, and dried herbs, and books, will no longer “apply.”

So, if you would like to order anything from Devonshire Apothecary, please do it (long) before Dec. 1, 2009.

Thank you for your careful consideration of this.

**************************************

We want you to know about the many books Devonshire Apothecary’s Nancy Levy has available, to help you with the use of herbs and essential oils, for health needs you may have, … besides the other high-quality books she has available to provide you with answers for needs you have, in your family.

There are too many for me to list here, but I will begin with one that she offers, for anyone wanting to clean their home with “natural” ingredients, to avoid the allergic reactions caused by using chemically-based cleaners, in the home.

_The Naturally Clean Home_, by Karyn Siegel-Maier, offers “over 100 safe and easy herbal formulas for non-toxic cleansers” you will be glad you can use in cleaning the various areas of your home. The chapters have titles such as “Why Clean with Herbs?” and areas in the home that we all must keep clean, such as the kitchen, the bath(room), the laundry, and also listed are “wood care,” how to clean “walls & carpeting” a new way, plus “cleaning metals,” “clearing the air,” “the garage & basement,” plus a list of “resources,” which includes a list of companies that “sell essential oils, dried herbs, and herbalist supplies” that will also help you in your cleaning tasks.

If you are interested in this book, or to inquire about others that Nancy Levy has available to help you with using herbs, or making tinctures for good health, or for using essential oils for aromatherapy purposes, as well as for health improvement, please contact her at

She knows the books she offers so well, that she can answer your questions, or tell you if she has a certain book you’re looking for, almost from memory. She’s been studying about the proper use of herbs and essential oils for over 30 years! You can trust her knowledge to provide the help you need, and to answer questions you may have.

Please also remember you may purchase high-quality essential oils, and dried herbs (for health and for tea), including dried lavender blossoms which some like for the many uses they have, and also baking spices by the ounce, or in larger amounts, at any time.
