Vitality

$32.00

*for energy, endurance, stamina, immunity, focus & brain power*

Vitality is a multi-mushroom, double extracted tincture that combines Chaga, Cordyceps, Lion's Mane, Reishi, and Turkey Tail to create an extract to naturally support overall immunity, energy, and increased cognitive function in your everyday life.*

In addition to the mushrooms, Vanilla and Cinnamon have been added for both taste enhancement and extra antioxidant benefits.

Think about Vitality as your mushroom multivitamin, proactively protecting you on a daily basis, and also an antidote to double-down on when you are feeling a cold coming on.

 

Tincture Blends: The herbs and mushrooms merge their properties in the process of maceration and enhance one another’s actions. There is a catalytic effect from this merging and blending of energies. The whole becomes greater than the parts.

Tincture drops can be put directly under tongue, diluted in water, or put in hot water to drink as tea—the alcohol evaporates and the medicine stays in the water. A 2 oz bottle usually lasts about 2 months, depending on your dose and how often you take it. Tinctures have a 5+ year shelf life when stored out of extreme heat and direct sunlight.

Key Ingredients:

  • Chaga: detox & longevity. Highly revered for its skin, beauty, and anti-aging properties. Chaga boasts anti-inflammatory properties and also purifies the blood and protects the liver, acting as a powerful detoxifier. May also help to reduce cholesterol.*
  • Cordyceps: energy. Known as the "fountain of youth" in the mushroom kingdom due to its energy and stamina support combined with its rich antioxidant content. Cordyceps is known to lower inflammation, improve cognitive health, boost energy, and manage blood sugar levels. It also fights viral and bacterial infections, treats allergies and asthma, and has been shown to inhibit cancer growth. It has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries as an immune tonic to treat fatigue, sickness, kidney disease and low sex drive.*
  • Lion's Mane: focus & brain power. This "smart mushroom" supports healthy brain function, cell regeneration, encourages the regeneration of damaged nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain by stimulation of nerve growth factor (NGF), and can even improve your clarity and creativity.*
  • Reishi: immunity & de-stress. This "mushroom of immortality" helps to strengthen the body against negative effects of stress: inflammation, hormonal imbalances, high cortisol, fatigue, and low energy. Reishi is also helpful for autoimmune disorders, seasonal allergies, and leaky gut.*
  • Turkey Tail: relief & immunity. Turkey Tail has proven to be a powerful immunity activator, as well as providing aid for pain relief due to its anti-inflammatory properties. This mushroom also helps chronic fatigue syndrome, addresses a range of bacterial and viral infections, and reduces the overgrowth of candida in the small intestine. Additionally, Turkey Tail mushroom is widely used for its anticancer properties in Asia.*

The Ritual

Create a ritual out of brewing and drinking these teas by making a large mason jar at night before going to bed. Allow the tea to infuse on your counter overnight.

In the morning, strain your tea (save the herbs for a second brew) and drink as much as you'd like prior to reaching for your coffee, while watching the sun rise. 

Add hot water to the herbs to brew a second jar and sip on the tea throughout the day. Warm the tea, on the stove, as needed. Try this ritual with the Nourish tea blend. Notice the changes you feel after a month or two of implementing this ritual.

Start unwinding around 4:00pm, this corresponds to the Fall Season energetically, by brewing a large mason jar of the Moonlit tea. Savour it throughout the evening and if possible while watching the sunset. 

"When tea becomes ritual,it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment."

Muriel Barbery

Creating Your Own

Tea Ritual

You probably notice that when you drink tea, you feel calmer. If you savour the various sensations: the aromatics, the warmth running down your throat and the way your hands feel around a mug, it's easy to understand why. Tea, because it is served hot, must be sipped slowly. The physical act of slowing down can impact your thoughts and in turn slow them down as well. This is why people often turn to tea when they need to unwind: it is a relaxing ritual in and of itself.

Drinking herbal infusions every day is a beautiful way to honor the plants and nourish your body, mind and spirit.
