The incorrectly used name ‘African Potato' was most likely introduced by the media in early 1997, when the hype around this plant arose, possibly after the Afrikaans - Afrika-patat, since the tuber could remind one of a patat or sweet potato. However, this is a most inaccurate name, since it is a corm (compressed underground stem, developing vertically) and not a tuber, like the potato, developing horizontally.  This amazing grass species has been used extensively by the many tribes of South Africa, as well as neighbouring countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInyanga's and Sangoma's use infusions of the corm to treat dizziness and bladder infections, and decoctions are given as tonics or applied to burns - it is also a go-to for immune support and sinus related issues. With modern research we can see that anti cancer, anti HIV and anti inflammatory activity are ascribed to this plants vast array of phytochemicals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfrican potato contains several active ingredients that are of interest, including a nor-lignan glycoside called hypoxoside, rooperol and beta-sitosterol, it also has a high sterol and sterolin content.Once in the body, the chemical hypoxoside is converted into its aglycone - rooperol, a potent antioxidant. Rooperol has several biological activities, it is antimutagenic and cytotoxic to cancer cells, and ongoing research into hypoxis shows antioxidant, anti inflammatory, anti diabetic, anti convulsant and anti cancer activity. We also know that this small grass can help in the treatment of benign prostate hypertrophy because of the activity of sitosterols which are ascribed to inhibition of 5α - reductase which decreases binding of dihydrotestosterone within the prostate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esterols and sterolins have been shown to be beneficial at enhancing an under-active immune system. Research has shown that these chemicals appears to alert the immune system to produce more CD4 – T cells - lymphocytes which are then made available to destroy invading viruses and bacteria which cause bodily harm, because of african potato's success in treating many ailments, this plant is fast becoming over harvested in the wild. We create small batch hydro-ethanolic extracts with ethically harvested wild african potato corm.

The use of buchu has a long and esteemed history and was particularly sacred to the native Khoisan. Buchu is a fynbos species and forms part of the cape floral kingdom – the largest in terms of its botanical diversity of all six Floral Kingdoms worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis sacred herb was highly revered in traditional culture, with stories interwoven with celestial beings and other worlds. The most famous of such stories starts with the deity Khwa - who was the embodiment of rain and water, and whos home ( the waterhole ) was a gate between the worlds of the living and the dead; a gateway between realms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tale begins with Khwa coming to earth in the form of a water buffalo. He embarked on a journey, wandering along, his breath forming a gentle mist all around him as he walked. After a while he noticed a delicate fragrance as he breathed in the cool air\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe tracked the alluring scent to a small camp where he saw a young sickly woman laying in a hut. Her sister had rubbed buchu over her body, to help her recover, and it was the smell of the herbs which attracted Khwa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Rain bull was mesmerized by the fragrance and so he sang to the young maiden. She began to regain her strength and once strong enough, she climbed onto the bulls back and rubbed some buchu onto his head as gratitude. He was filled with elation, and so he turned around and trotted off with the girl on his back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe two traveled for many days together growing close until one day the young girl needed to return back to the earthly world. The woman asked Khwa to set her down in the shade of a tree next to a waterhole so they may rest. This he did, she thanked him and once again rubbed him all over with buchu leaves, he became so relaxed, he fell asleep. Upon awaking the rain bull had found that his companion had traveled home, he was so delighted that the girl had shared her sweet smelling healing herbs with him, it inspired the deity to stay and bring rain to the plants and creatures of the earth - this is why to this day many traditional peoples still rub buchu over their bodies to bring the rain in times of drought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuchus modern history is far more recent with the earliest documentary evidence dating back to 1652, when the Khoisan introduced the herb to arriving Dutch settlers. Buchu’s famed medicinal uses caused its spread to Europe - the first export documented by Reece \u0026amp; co who shipped dried leaves to England in 1821. By the late 19th century large volumes of dried buchu plant material were exported to England and the USA with 8 bales of buchu leaves even listed on the cargo inventory of the Titanic on its doomed maiden voyage across the Atlantic in April 1912.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistorically, buchu has been used to treat inflammation, and kidney and urinary tract infections; as a diuretic and as a stomach tonic. Other uses include carminative action and treatment of cystitis, urethritis, prostatitis, and gout. It also has been used for leukorrhea and yeast infections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBuchu's major medicinal compounds are its essential oils isomenthone and diosphenol as well as volatile constituents like limonene, menthone, and l-pulegone. The essential oils were found to be active against many pathogens, namely Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, pneumonia and Candida albicans making it a great ally to use for various forms of infections. Buchu also has good antibacterial activity, and has been found to be very effective active against gram positive bacteria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuchu also contains coumarins, these compounds have been found to be active against microbials by stimulating macrophages, allowing the plant to have an indirect ability to increase immune response, where as the flavonoids found in buchu modulate inflammation and strengthen connective tissue helping alleviate arthritis and gout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiospenol is responsible for the diuretic action of Buchu, which acts by irritating the gallbladder, causing the production of urine. This can help rid the body of extra fluid, salt and most importantly toxins, revealing strain on the heart, liver and kidneys - this can bring down high blood pressure and swollen tissues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuchu also contains flavonoids such as diosmin, hesperidin, rutin, and quercitin which are powerful free radical scavengers ( antioxidants ). They assist in keeping free radicals at physiologically homeostatic levels thus many ailments that result from an increase in oxidative stress are quenched.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuchu is a very hardy plant but there are limited reserves found in the wild, for this reason we choose to supply cultivated buchu powder, a hydro ethanolic extract to concentrate this herbs varied medicinal qualities and buchu can also be found in our indigenous tonic tincture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eINGREDIENTS AND DOSAGE\u003c\/h3\u003e\nBuchu Powder\u003cbr\u003e- Agathosma betulina\u003cbr\u003e± 60g - 70g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e½ teaspoon once a day\u003cbr\u003eup to 3 teaspoons for chronic ailments\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-hook=\"info-section-description\" class=\"WncCi\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-hook=\"info-section-description\" class=\"WncCi\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePRECAUTIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1yvxJ cell\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-hook=\"info-section-description\" class=\"WncCi\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuchu is considered safe for extended periods of use\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is not enough information about the safety of taking Buchu if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

As a motivational herb, Siberian Ginseng is hard to beat – there isn’t much else that can deliver so much wonderful, raw energy. for this reason it was given to many siberian warriors from young, as well as right before battle as it is stimulating to one’s energy level within minutes of consumption — and increases vitality over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is also famous as an adaptogenic herb, thus aiding humans in handling stress and increasing mental and physical endurance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChemical analysis reveals that the active substances in Eleuthero are sterols, coumarins, flavonoids and polysaccharides. Some of the specific compounds in the plant that have been isolated for their medicinal value include daucosterol, syringaresinol, isofraxidin, hyperine, sesamin, friedelin and syringin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEleuthero research has focused primarily on mechanisms related to stress-protective activity. Interactions within the HPA axis regulate the stress response, and adaptogens, such as Eleuthero, have been proven help to maintain homeostasis in the presence of stress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEleutheros main effects as an adaptogen are believed to be due to its concentration of a unique family of compounds known as eleutherosides. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditionally, two polysaccharides in the plant display specific immune-enhancing power by promoting phagocytosis – when protective cells engulf harmful microorganisms, damaged cells and foreign particles. These particular polysaccharides also help with the promotion of protective B lymphocytes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResearch has also proven that this amazing herb can increase mental sharpness, and act as a general neuroprotector for neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease.

It was growing near a temple that was 1.1 kilometers from the epicenter where the atom bomb was dropped by the American forces during World War II.

Approximately 40 different flavonoids have been isolated, including ginkgetin, bilobetin, and sciadopitysin as well as a number of powerful terpenes such as ginkgolides and diterpenes, most importantly the ginkgolides A, B, and C have shown significant medicinal benefits in clinical studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGinkgo leaf has shown beneficial effects in treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular diseases, stress, memory loss, tinnitus, geriatric complaints like vertigo, age-related macular degeneration, and psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGingkos most notable benefits are in its ability to improve cognitive function and memory. this is due to this herbs potent free radical scavenging and antioxidant properties which play an important role in neuroprotection.

This reduced PAF along with the flavonoid glycosides found in gingko exert antioxidant effects on delicate cells, reducing injury due to free radical oxidization. This in turn can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis – the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes.

Because this shrub grows over rivers and water ways it is an ideal fruit for fish, and it is thought that its name originates from the onomatopoeic sound a fish makes when it plucks one of these fruits from the surface of the water or from a low hanging branch. The fish are also thought to be responsible for dispersing the plant throughout the rainforest through their favoring of the fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camu camu berry was utilized in traditional medicine but not very extensively. Indigenous people of the rainforest did not advocate the fruit very much because of its sour and acidic taste. Therefore there is not much history on tribal remedies regarding this fantastic fruit, other than its use as a pain reliever, treatment for infection, and to promote long life. After 1957 when the enormous vitamin C content was discovered in camu camu the ministry of Public Health in Peru conducted their first nutritional survey of this highly nutritious and medicinal berry. Almost overnight, camu camu became an indispensable fruit internationally\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camu camu fruit is rich in Vitamin C and contains up to 60 times more vitamin C than an orange (750% of our daily recommendation per teaspoon). The camu camu berry is also an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, and various amino acids. Besides the vitamin and mineral content, the fruit is also rich in anthocyanins and ellagic acids, flavonoids and has very strong anti oxidant activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCamu Camu's vitamin C content is by far its stand out compound - currently the highest known vitamin c food in the world. Ascorbic acid ( Vit C) stimulates white blood cell production, which significantly boosts the immune system, and is also a key component in collagen production, which helps to repair and develop cells, tissues, and organs. Camu camu is also well known for its ability to improve liver health,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDue to the presence of a compound called 1-methylmalate which aids in treating liver injury, fighting against liver disease and malfunction of the liver. Camu camu has also been found to be beneficial for depression as vitamin C is a cofactor required for the conversion of tryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptophan in serotonin production.

This rare berry was first documented in 2697 BCE - Schisandra was classified as superior by Pen-Tsao in the classic Yellow Emperor's Study of Inner Medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany stories are told of hunting tribes of Northern China who would take supplies of the dried berries whenever they went on long hunting trips during cold weather. Eating Schisandra berries helped them to stoke their internal fires and renew waining strength.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis potent medicine has also been used for centuries by monks to nourish their overall well being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchisandra is the only herb known to be perfectly Yin-Yang balanced, to contain all three Treasures (Jing, Qi and Shen), to nurture all five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water) and to enter all twelve energy channels (meridians) of the human body. For this reason it is used in the Taoist practice known as the “foundation period.” This is the first 100 days of practice, which includes exercises, meditation, and the consumption tonic herbs. During the 100 day foundation period, it is tradition to consume schisandra berries every day. a monk cannot miss a day or they will have to start over. The results of this practice includes greater clarity, a stronger body, overt changes to skin and hair, brightening of the eyes, and the laying of the permanent foundation of the Three Treasures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchisandra has long been used for a wide variety of ailments, including; respiratory diseases, asthma, insomnia, kidney problems and diarrhoea.

Much of the ancient knowledge we have of chaga comes from the Khanty people of Western Siberia, as well as the first nations of the americans. Cree healers call it Wiskakecakomikih after the mythological character who threw a chunk of chaga he mistook for a piece of dried meat against a birch tree - he was intrigued, and once it grew large enough he ingested it to increase his longevity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethere are many documented accounts of ancient humans using this fungus, however the earliest comes from ötzi the iceman - the oldest known mummified cave man, who fell into a frozen mountain in the alps. His body was preserved in the ice allowing us a glimpse into the lives of prehistoric man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn his person were many artifacts and intricate copper weapons, as well as mushrooms. Chaga was used for lighting fires ( highly flammable ) and as a medicine - it has both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial compounds. It was highly prized as it is toxic to whipworms, a parasite later discovered by researchers in ötzi's colon. This ancient cave man knew what he had and used this mushroom long before modern culture, to treat maladies of his time. With scientific research we can see that chaga is truly a medicine for present-day man as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChaga contains a large range of important active constituents including polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, lanostane triterpenoids and melanin,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea pigment that is present and needed throughout the human body, with a wide range of health benefits. Research on Chaga has demonstrated potent immune modulating actions. Upon ingestion, a range of secondary metabolites are produced, many of which are highly active as potent immune boosters. Chaga is a rich source of 1-3 β-glucans - polysaccharides that are quintessential nutrients for the immune system. These polysaccharides have strong immune balancing properties - enhancing the body’s ability to produce natural killer (NK) cells. On a \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecellular level, Chaga has been shown to support the response to oxidative molecules that may impact human DNA if not quenched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxygenated triterpenes, particularly inotodiol and obliquol along with chaga's high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity) value make it a vital substance used for fighting cancers and as an adjunct treatment with chemotherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003echaga has historically been used for hodgkins disease, ulcer, and to regenerate organ and gland cells.

But it's not all just horror when it comes to this fungus; it's actually one of the most powerful medicinal mushrooms on this planet. Folklore states that 1,500 years ago, Tibetan yakherders noticed something very strange going on with their herds. During the summer months, the austere Tibetan highlands grew thick with tall meadow grasses that made terrific yak fodder, so the shepherds took their animals up into the mountains to graze on luscious pastures. It came to the attention of the Tibetans that mountain-grazing animals grew stronger and lived longer than those that consumed the grasses at lower elevations. At first, they thought it was the robust mountain grass that was responsible, but then an unknown shepherd stumbled upon the answer: Cordyceps This fungus grew in the high-altitude meadows, and the yaks that consumed it during their grazing were markedly healthier than their peers. Cordyceps is an entomopathogenic fungus that attacks and colonizes many insects that hibernate just below the soil surface during the cold Tibetan winter. By summertime, the fungus has consumed the entire insect and has shot out a small, club-shaped fruiting body that emerges from the soil to spread its spores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf the more than 400 species of Cordyceps that have been discovered, two have become the focus of health research: Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris. Cordyceps mushrooms are filled with powerful phytochemicals; of particular interest are adenosine, cordycepic acid, ophiocordin, and finally the nucleoside cordycepin. The protein-bound polysaccharides CP-1 and CP-2, as well as CO-N, SN-C, and CO-1, have also been identified. One of cordyceps main claims to fame is its unmatched ability to increase energy and combat fatigue. It does this by increasing production of the molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for delivering energy to the muscles. This also improves the way our bodies use oxygen, especially during exercise. Coryceps also has a wonderful ability to increase libido and sexual function; it highly influences the release of testosterone, increases blood circulation, and also enhances erectile function, virility, and stamina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is especially good for women who may be in the menopause or post-menopause; this is partly because it enhances the biosynthesis of the steroid hormones cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone. Cordyceps has immunostimulating and immunoregulating activity; notably, its polysaccharides have been found to stimulate phagocytotic function and macrophage activity. Many studies have also found that normal T-cells are not affected by cordyceps, while defective T-cells are, thus validating its ability to boost suppressed immune function. The protein-bound polysaccharides have been found to have anti-tumor activity; CO-N and SN-C both stimulate the immune system; CO-N has a direct cytocidal action on many tumors, including ehrlich carcinoma, sarcoma, and leukemia, to name a few. Cordyceps has also been proven to be a tonic for lung and kidney health; it increases sperm production; stimulates the endocrine system; and has wonderful antibacterial activity. Our Cordyceps Tincture is extracted from cultivated Cordyceps militaris, and we produce a potent triple-extracted tincture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Aether (Celium)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50278075072786,"sku":"AE-TINC-CORDYCEPS","price":240.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/7436\/8530\/files\/Cordyceps.jpg?v=1733510545"},{"product_id":"menopause-tincture","title":"Menopause Tincture","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis extract directly targets the balancing of hormones and relieving symptoms for women who are entering or journeying through their menopausal stage of life.

Schisandra is documented in early Chinese medical texts as a superior herb, capable of promoting overall well-being and enhancing bodily vitality. This rare berry was first documented in 2697 BCE - Schisandra was classified as superior by Pen-Tsao in the classic Yellow Emperor's Study of Inner Medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany stories are told of hunting tribes of Northern China who would take supplies of the dried berries whenever they went on long hunting trips during cold weather. Eating Schisandra berries helped them to stoke their internal fires and renew waining strength. This potent medicine has also been used for centuries by monks to nourish their overall well being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchisandra is the only herb known to be perfectly Yin-Yang balanced, to contain all three Treasures (Jing, Qi and Shen), to nurture all five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water) and to enter all twelve energy channels (meridians) of the human body. For this reason it is used in the Taoist practice known as the “foundation period.” This is the first 100 days of practice, which includes exercises, meditation, and the consumption tonic herbs. During the 100 day foundation period, it is tradition to consume schisandra berries every day. a monk cannot miss a day or they will have to start over. The results of this practice includes greater clarity, a stronger body, overt changes to skin and hair, brightening of the eyes, and the laying of the permanent foundation of the Three Treasures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchisandra has long been used for a wide variety of ailments, including; respiratory diseases, asthma, insomnia, kidney problems and diarrhoea. Also classed as a herbal adaptogen, this berry can help combat fatigue under physical stress and increase endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Schisandra berries were also cherished by Chinese royalty for their beauty and anti-aging qualities. Packed with antioxidants, including key vitamins C and E, Schisandra’s strong astringent qualities enable the skin to hold in moisture for more fullness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchisandrins A, B, and C as well as schisandrol are are the major bioactive chemical compounds found in schisandra berries. Schisandrin B can have a beneficial effect on Alzheimer’s disease because of its ability to block formation of excess amyloid beta peptides in the brain - one of the components responsible for forming amyloid plaque found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchisandrin B may also help against Parkinson’s disease. This is due to its anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective effect upon microglial cells in the brain. Schisandrin C on the other hand is effective against liver damage in people with both acute and chronic hepatitis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using schisandra, it is important that true schisandra is consumed.

Variants of this mushroom grow all around the world - In Japan, the mushroom was drunk as a tea in the imperial palaces \u0026amp; consumed with lavish meals - they called it Yamabushitake. Yamabushi, translates to “those who sleep in the mountains,” referring to the hermit monks of Buddhism - Lions Mane is supposed to resemble the ornamental garments that the monks would wear. The Māori - the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand say their ancestors have consumed a coral shaped fungus in the genus hericium since they arrived on the land, they call the fungus Pekepekekiore. In North America, this mushroom was a common sight in Native Americans’ medicine bags, the healers used it as a styptic, applied as a dried powder to cuts \u0026amp; scratches to stop them from bleeding. In traditional Chinese medicine, lions mane is prescribed for stomach disorders, ulcers, \u0026amp; gastrointestinal ailments - Lion’s Mane has also traditionally been used to fortify the spleen, nourish the gut, \u0026amp; fight cancer. Ancient healers utilized this mushroom very effectively for treating the lower abdominal area, however the neurological benefits this mushroom is so often praised for, turns out to be a relatively new discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLions Mane is made up of many different medicinal phytochemicals including the usual β-glucans \u0026amp; many triperpanoids (as in most mushrooms ). But of particular pharmacological interest are two classes of terpenoid compounds thus far known to occur only in Hericium spp: these are hericenones (C–H)- a group of aromatic compounds \u0026amp; erinacines (A–I)- a group of cyathane-type diterpenoids, Erinarols (A–J) have also been isolated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHericenones \u0026amp; erinacines isolated from Lions Mane have demonstrated unmatched neuroprotective properties among mushrooms. One of the most exciting applications of Lion’s Mane is its potential preventative role against neurodegeneration \u0026amp; beneficial effects on brain health. The bioactive compounds diterpenoids erinacine A, B, \u0026amp; C were shown to stimulate the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF), which is involved in organizing the function of neurons in the central nervous system \u0026amp; brain. These are the neurons that degenerate during the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. This mushroom has also been found to improve cognitive deficits that were induced by amyloid peptide (which leads to learning \u0026amp; memory decline ) showing that lions mane plays an important role in combating dementia \u0026amp; other diseases related to aging in the brain. Lions Mane have also been proven to promote development of cerebellar cells. They demonstrate a regulatory effect on the process of myelin genesis \u0026amp; enhance the myelination process Lions mane has been found to increase memory, understanding, communication, sharpness, \u0026amp; concentration. It has also shown great effect in treating stress \u0026amp; anxiety making it a wonderful medicine for all ages - not just those suffering from neurological deterioration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLions mane is also a great cancer fighter - the polysaccharides have been found to be effective against tumor cell lines like malignant hepatocytes, mammary carcinoma, lymphoma \u0026amp; esophageal cancer to name a few. These β-1,3- branched β-1,6-glucan ( polysaccharides ) activate different immune cells, T lymphocytes, macrophages cytokines (IL-1ß \u0026amp; TNF-ß) \u0026amp; also turn on the production of nitric oxide which are all cytotoxic to tumor cells. Various studies have conclusively proven that alcohol extracts of lion’s mane increases NGF expression in cells far more than what water extracts do\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knowledge went virtually unknown to the ancient Chinese - thus pointing to the reason why all ancient medicinal texts fail to mention Hericium's cognitive improving benefits - as water extraction ( tea ) was the preferred method of ingestion.

Reishi has been recognized as a medicinal mushroom for over 2000 years, and its powerful effects have been documented in many ancient manuscripts. Reishi was referred to as the ‘divine protector’ and it has been used throughout history as the symbol of enlightenment. In chinese medicine it is regarded as a three treasure tonic, nourishing the shen, jing, and qi. This fungus consistently demonstrated a profound ability to nourish vitality, relax the nervous system, calm the mind, and promote a state of relaxed focus and concentration. Thanks to modern science we now understand Red Reishi better than ever before, we have successfully isolated 130 different polysaccharides, over 119 triterpenes along with many other phytonutrients making up one of the most complex medicines known to man with just over 900 bioactive constituents identified thus far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past several decades, dozens of different studies conducted in Japan, China, the U.S. and the U.K. have demonstrated that reishi mushrooms are capable of offering protection against numerous diseases or illnesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most important effects of the reishi mushroom is that it can boost your immune system, test-tube studies have shown that reishi can increase white blood cell count and dramatically upgrade our immune response, particularly the process of phagosytosis (the mechanism by which lymphocytes, macrophages and killer cell roam the body picking up debris and consuming toxins and harmful organisms)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of Reishis vast triterpenoids, 2 compounds in particular stand out, ganoderic and ganoderenic acids, these have shown tremendous results in treating auto immune diseases, allergies, liver function (beta-glucoronodase inhibitor - an enzyme linked to sclerosis and hepatitis) they have also shown antioxidant qualities, which protect the body from free radical damage as well as enhance overall cell repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumerous studies have also been done on reishi mushrooms’ effect on cancer cell lines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn vivo and in-vitro testing have demonstrated that compounds derived from the Reishi mushroom have cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. Several studies demonstrate that extracts of Reishi mushrooms down-regulate VEGF and MAPK signaling, as well as induce cell cycle arrest, apoptosis ( the death of cancer cells which occurs as a controlled part of an organism's growth or development), and autophagy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany randomized controlled trials also proved that cancer patients experienced improved response to treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll this information along with physical testing points to Reishi Mushrooms being one of the best adaptogens we currently have, helping the body adapt to the every day stressors of life, increasing energy and immunity as well as helping to ward off long term degenerative diseases. This mushrooms use is interwoven in human culture from around the world and grows naturally right on our doorsteps in the forests around South Africa, making it a must for anyone looking to improve the quality of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost Reishi on the market is grown on sawdust and in many cases the mycelium is used — the fungal mass that can be mass-grown before the mushroom sprouts. This mycelium is not as good as the true fruiting body (mushroom cap)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd most often, this mycelium has not been extracted at all but is simply ground into powder with grain-spawn. Non-extracted Reishi mushroom is of little biological value to a human, since it cannot be assimilated in raw form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen producing our triple extract reishi tincture, we harvest wild ganoderma lucidum species grown in old grove forests untouched by modern pollution, and fed by pristine waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Reishi Tincture is extracted slowly and diligently for a minimum of 30 days in order to make the active substances bio-available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe run our reishi through an ethanol extraction process to remove the triterpenes \u0026amp; a water extraction to remove the polysaccharides, the remaining mark is then put through multiple additional extractions to reclaim any additional compounds.

The first mention of wood ear mushrooms come from the Tang dynasty around 618 - 907 BCE where it is heralded as the first species to be cultivated, however this mushroom is much more infamous thanks to a fable from biblical times - the legend goes that Judas Iscariot after betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of silver hung himself from an elder tree in town, towns folk gathered around the following morning \u0026amp; to their astonishment they saw little rubbery ears growing from the base of the tree. It is believed that Judas' wished to atone for his transgressions \u0026amp; thus left a piece of himself on earth in the hopes of one day hearing the return of his lord - he could then return \u0026amp; ask for forgiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood ear mushroom has been used the world over for many centuries - it is renowned as a great edible in times of famine in places like Hawaii, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand. China \u0026amp; Japanall calling it different names but with the same meaning - ear. It has also garnered a name for itself as a great medicinal ally too, wood ears were used in folk medicine in the west for complaints including sore throats, sore eyes, \u0026amp; jaundice - it was also boiled in milk, beer, vinegar or any other convenient liquid \u0026amp; taken for inflammation of the throat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Ghana \u0026amp; other parts of africa this mushroom was correctly used as a blood tonic, but by far the majority of medical history comes form ancient asia where it was \u0026amp; still is used to activate blood, stop pain, \u0026amp; assist circulation. Wood ear mushrooms contain some interesting phytochemicals including beta glucans, proteoglycans, adenosine \u0026amp; various active polysaccharides such as heteropolysaccharide glucans \u0026amp; acidic heteroglycans. Various auricularia species are used interchangeably - they show great all round health promoting benefits but by far its most prized \u0026amp; unmatched potential lies in improving the cardiovascular system. Adenosine in wood ears showed a potent inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, blood clotting, improved blood pressure \u0026amp; heart health. It does this by inhibiting ADP-induced aggregation of platelets thereby warding off cerebrovascular \u0026amp; cardiovascular diseases. Reduced levels of serum LDL cholesterol are also seen from this fungus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong term uses has been verified to help to keep cholesterol levels in check \u0026amp; the various polysaccharides in this mushroom have a direct action on coagulation \u0026amp; blood clotting. This can help to improve circulation \u0026amp; may prevent heart attacks, strokes \u0026amp; arterial damage that can lead to heart disease. Various studies have proven that this mushroom decreases the atherogenic index by up to 40 percent (measure used to predict the risk of heart disease \u0026amp; plaque build-up in the arteries)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mushrooms cardio-protective effects have only recently been discovered, thanks to a hematologist attending medical school in Minnesota - the student pricked his finger in a blood clotting test, when his blood failed to clot the ensuring investigation traced the cause to the wood ear mushrooms he had consumed the night before in a Chinese szechwan restaurant. This amazing discovery is in my opinion one of the most impactful of the 21st century as cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the modern world, with numbers growing year on year. We are lucky enough to have three powerful auricularia species growing in our country. We cultivate both a. auricula-judea \u0026amp; a. polytricha for medicinal \u0026amp; culinary use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1FTz3 fggS- cell\"\u003e\n\u003csection data-hook=\"description-wrapper\" class=\"_2RbVQ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_3nbVj\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_3cRjW\" data-hook=\"content-wrapper\" style=\";line-height: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWood Ear Tincture 30ml\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e- Auricularia Spp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewild harvested wood ear ± 10 000mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Aether (Celium)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50278152077586,"sku":"AE-TINC-WOODEAR","price":180.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/7436\/8530\/files\/WoodEar_1a0acb27-2ff6-4f35-8f1c-2c68f3d9fc10.png?v=1739184862"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/7436\/8530\/collections\/Apothecary.jpg?v=1727277613","url":"https:\/\/cosmicbazaar-eu.myshopify.com\/collections\/health-wellness.oembed?page=2","provider":"Cosmic Bazaar EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
