REISHI MUSHROOM - TINCTURE

Reishi polypore mushroom Ganorderma Tsugae is the latin name. Chinese Pinyin is Ling Zhi.

In the northeast USA they grow on dead hemlock trees from June-September depending on the weather. These were wild harvested from 20-21

The herbal tincture is made from organic non-gmo vegetable glycerin and filtered water and then put in a 2oz. dropper bottle.

The double extraction method was used. After the mushrooms are extracted from the glycerin in about a month's time. The extract was strained and put aside. The mushrooms were then decocted (boiled then simmered) in water for 45 minutes. They were strained and then combined with the glycerin extraction.

There are some medicinal qualities that will come out from the glycerin called triterpines. There are others that will only come out by being decocted in water called beta-glucans.
