Reishi Mushroom Tincture
Reishi Mushroom Tincture,
Ganoderma lucidum,
Reishi Tincture - Dual Extract, 2024 Wild Harvest.
When it comes to tinctures, quality is essential. Although we appreciate the ancient folklore methods for Reishi extract preparations (soaking the herbs in alcohol for long periods of time), as well as percolation methods, they can fall short of professional lab extractions. As shown in our video, our Reishi tinctures are professionally prepared in a lab setting using the soxhlet extractor method.
Soxhlet extraction is a type of atmospheric liquid extraction, utilizing temperature and low pressures (ambient pressure), for the selected extract.
Soxhlet extraction is a professional, conventional technique, providing the highest recovery of valuable plant material.
Our Reishi Mushroom tinctures are double extracted with alcohol and water to obtain all of the useful plant material.
Preferred by some, you can use the product directly from the dropper,
or, if you find that to be a bit overwhelming (which many do)
simply mix in with your coffee, teas, smoothies or water.
NOTE: Excessive squeezing of the dropper ball is not necessary. When the dropper is squeezed once, it will only pull up a 1ml serving into the glass dropper. That is how servings are measured. 1 Squeeze = 1ml
Reishi Dual Extract: 1-5 Ratio
Other Ingredients: Alcohol 35%-40%, Water
No Fillers, Non GMO, Gluten Free
All fungal extracts are 100% fruiting bodies only!
Average uses per ounce: 15-30
Important notes concerning tinctures - Tincture ratios can be confusing!
A 1-5 ratio is standard for mushrooms and herbs. There are times when lower menstruum to herb ratios can be beneficial, although many times it is counter productive, and unfortunately it is being used as a marketing tactic. The standard 1-5 higher alcohol ratios have stood the test of time and are usually needed to properly extract the herb. The alcohol can only hold so much material before it is saturated. At the saturation point, you need more alcohol to continue pulling out the plant material . So in short, lower ratios will not always mean a superior product.
A little bit about this amazing mushroom -
The Appalachian Mountains are known for their ability to produce some of the best Reishi mushrooms in the world! No smog, no pollution and rich, nutrient filled soil provide the perfect environment for harvesting all natural, non GMO, wild mushrooms and herbs.
Making Reishi Mushroom Extract Tea & Reishi mushroom extract are the most common uses for this amazing herbal fungus. Reishi Mushrooms can also be made into tinctures and salves. If one doesn't prefer tea or tincture, the powdered Reishi can be used to make capsules.
The Chinese name for Reishi is Ling Zi, which means "tree of life mushroom".
Our pictures show our Reishi just after Harvest, then again after cleaning, and finally, fully dried. Dried Mushrooms may sometimes appear shriveled and cracked do to the high water content before drying.
The taste of Reishi tea can be enjoyed by those who appreciate the bitter, earthy taste of strong herbs. Like many wild Mushrooms, Reishi can have an acquired taste, or some may never enjoy the taste at all. If your one who doesn't prefer the taste of bitter herbs, simply adding honey, stevia or any complimentary herb can make your journey with Wild herbs a bit more pleasant!
Among Herbal Mushrooms Reishi holds the #1 spot in Chinese Herbalism, having been used for the past 2000 years! Also known as Ling Zhi in Chinese, yeongji in Korea, and ling chih in Vietnamese.
Reishi is a polypore mushroom, sponge like, with a red-varnished kidney shaped cap that can have wide variations. Polypores lack gills on the underside and release spores through fine tubes (pores). Polypore tubes are honey-comb-like structures, where the individual tubes have fused together. Polypores are also known as bracket fungi or conks.
Many herbalists make what could only be called a "Super Mushroom Tea" by mixing Reishi, Chaga and Turkey Tail. These are the big three in herbal mushrooms.
