Red Reishi Mushroom Tincture
Triple Extraction Method
 
Reishi is known as the mushroom of immortality and is one of the most highly valued medicinal mushrooms! Reishi has been used in herbalism for over 4,000 years in China and Japan. It’s a powerful adaptogen, antioxidant, reduces cortisol to deal with stress, boosts immunity among other things all with no side effects.
 
A Reishi baby is a term to describe babies that are born to mamas who have consumed Reishi mushrooms consistently during their pregnancies. The calming qualities it imbues on the emotions and nervous system are seemingly passed onto the baby. It has been noted that these “Reishi babies” appear to be calm, peaceful and alert, and seem to be “buddha like”. Ron Teeguarden is a master herbalist, known for bringing herbalism to the United States. He said, “I saw some of these (Reishi babies) children, older and newborn, and they appeared uniformly calm and focused. The infants had little or no inflammation, cried little, and appeared to take in their surroundings with incredible acuity”.

For several years, we have been making tinctures, herbal infusions, teas, salves, herbal baths, yoni steams, and hydrosols for friends, family, and Christina’s pregnant mamas. We have been following methods learned from Susan Weed, Richo Cech and Arielle de Martinez. This tincture is prepared using Arielle’s triple extraction method.
 
Why triple extraction? If you want to gain the full benefit of the mushroom you have to use alcohol, water and heat to extract all the constituents. It’s a labor of love, and we poured lots of love into all of the details and ingredients!
 
Suggested dosage is one dropperful twice daily. For “Reishi Babies”, this tincture is ideally started before pregnancy, consistently used throughout the pregnancy and while nursing. Consistency is key as it allows the full benefits of reishi to be utilized.
 
Ingredients: Organic reishi, alcohol, distilled water, non-GMO organic palm glycerin, raw local honey.
