Cordyceps Mushroom
Cordyceps are found primarily at high altitudes on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau in southwestern China and is one of the most valued Chinese medicinal herbs. In 1993, there was widespread fascination when the Chinese women's Olympic track team shattered world records. No banned substances were found after much speculation about their record-breaking success. The runners' incredible achievement was eventually attributed to their rigorous altitude training and a 'secret elixir' comprising Cordyceps as the primary ingredient. As a result of this publicity, there was an upsurge of interest in the performance-enhancing properties of Cordyceps, which led to a multitude of new scientific studies and research. Today, Cordyceps is coveted by active individuals and athletes, not only for its ability to restore energy following physical exertion and sickness, but also for its ability to improve performance.

Organic Frankincense Hydrosol
Globally sacred, Frankincense has been associated with the worship of the divine and seen as a universal and priceless source of wealth since ancient times. From the Latin "incendere" ("to burn"), Frank”incense” also refers to the aromatic resin produced by the incense tree, the Boswellia. Originating from the Arabian Peninsula and Africa, this enduring tree has delicate white or pink flowers. It’s strength in harsh growing conditions gives it unique spiritual healing qualities of grounding us and cleansing that no longer serve us. Today it’s actively studied for various health actions like its anti-inflammation, antioxidant and antiseptic properties making the pairing of Frankincense and Cordyceps an amazing thing.
Organic Plant Hydrosols
All tinctures have multiple parts: the plant extract, water, and some type of preservative (usually alcohol, glycerin, or vinegar). For the water portion of our tinctures, we love using hydrosols due to their gentle healing properties and flavorful effects. Since 5000 BC, alchemists have used secret techniques to extract the healing properties of plants. In the practice of plant alchemy, every plant is seen to possess 3 philosophical elements that alchemists work with: The Plant Body (physically expressed as its crystalline mineral content), The Plant Soul (expressed as its essential oil, which captures the true essence of the plant), and The Plant Spirit (expressed as the alcohol derived from the plant during the process of fermentation). Hydrosols are created when the Soul aspect of the plant (the essential oil) is extracted using the sacred art of distillation. When the essential oil is separated, the aqueous part remaining is the hydrosol.
We feel hydrosols are a perfect medium to add both an additional healing aspect and flavorful signature to our extracts. They perfectly dance with the many healing properties of the mushrooms that rest in our bottles.
Organic Exotic Craft Alcohols
Alcohol is typically used as a way to dissolve and extract the healing constituents contained within plants and mushrooms. Alcohol also ensures the longest preservation time and is safe, natural, and organic. This has been the case for thousands of years, and to be exact, the use of medicinal wines in ancient Egypt dates back to about 3150 BC. Although some components of plants and mushrooms are only soluble in water (like when you brew tea), other components of the same plants and mushrooms are only soluble in alcohol. Therefore, for the extraction phase, alcohol is the most standard way to pull the most healing properties out of our plants and mushrooms. Our organic hand-crafted alcohols are made from exotic fruit sources which we feel highly enhance the overall enjoyability of our extracts. We love them, and hope that you do too.

Our Mushrooms
Only a fruiting body can be called a “mushroom”, not the mycelium. We spare no expense and give you only the “fruit”. Our mushroom fruiting bodies are grown in nature with natural sunlight, on substrates native to the mushrooms (like hardwoods), thereby giving our mushrooms a unique complex of potent full-spectrum constituents only found in naturally grown mushroom fruiting bodies.

Our Gold Standard
Our gold standard extraction process pulls all constituents from the mushroom. We use only fruiting bodies grown on natural substrate (no myceliated grain). Our mushrooms are USDA organic, GMO-free, and tested for active compounds.
