Reishi Mushroom Elixir - Triple Extraction
Reishi Mushroom Elixir - Triple Extraction
Three reasons Reishi deserves not only our attention, but also our reverence:
1. The culture with the longest recorded history of using it, Chinese, considers it a bestower of immortality. I can't think of another substance from the natural (or pharmaceutical) world that is described in such terms, and that such a powerful word is used to describe its effects speaks volumes about its ability to promote well being and longevity.
2. While most folks focus on the amazing physical benefits Reishi confers, herbalist Asia Suler has shared about its ability to enhance our perception of the unseen, naming it a "subtle psychedelic."
3. It's the bestselling medicinal mushroom in the world with thousands of scientific studies proving its incredibly potent healing actions.
It's easy to get lost in the overwhelming amount of information about Reishi, but it is known to be supportive of:
Vitality
Energy
Stamina
Adaptability
The immune system
The respiratory system
The cardiovascular system
The nervous system
The liver and kidneys
Our Reishi is grown on organic substrate (pictured here are some of the famed Reishi "antlers") and we harvest the fruiting body at peak potency then triple extract it in order to make this medicine.
Why and what is a Triple Extraction? According to Peter McCoy in Radical Mycology, it is a potent extraction method that makes for a full spectrum medicine. We extract the mushroom in cold water, then alcohol (organic cane), then hot water (a decoction).
The cold water extracts water soluble enzymes and sugars, the alcohol pulls out terpenes, polypeptides, amino acids, and other non water soluble compounds, and the hot water extracts beta-glucans and polysaccharide-protein complexes .
