Dual extractions are extremely potent for a couple of reasons. Firstly, some strong (food grade) alcohol can break down the thick cell wall components of our medicinal mushrooms during soaking. Alcohol can be sucked by our blood so quickly so that the medicinal compounds enter our system right away.
Alcohol gets the acids of the mushrooms and after this process we apply simmering methods which we use for obtaining the sugar molecules, beta-glucans etc.
Beta-glucans are very important for the immune system. They feed the gut bacteria and blood cells by turning to glucose.
When to use tinctures?
In spite of the fact that this is an individual question, based on my own experience and the conversations with my friends, customers, and family members, using tinctures must be constant for a while. We would suggest using one small dose each time and 3 times a day, like morning, afternoon, and night time.
How long?
The tinctures will work in many purposes. They will support current gut bacteria and blood cells. They will help inflammation, oxidation, calmness, etc. Lion's mane has nerve preparing properties which make it extremely popular. Reishi is rich in beta-glucans which in the long term help immune support and creates a calming effect.
Therefore, after using them for a while, like a month will make you decide if you need more or not.
Reishi is considered ‘the king of medicinal mushrooms’ and is often referred to by other names such as ‘Ling Zhi’, which means in Chinese language ''the mushroom of immortality''
The effects
Lion's mane will help you remember the names, be more focused. Just like the reishi mushroom, lion's mane has beta-glucans as well but lower amounts. Lion's mane therefore, will help immune support as well. But its popularity comes from its nerve repairing properties.
The reishi tincture will create calmness and lower anxiety. Based on my experience, it healed the wounds on my legs, it cut my appetite for alcohol drinking since it took anxiety out of my life, Although I sleep too short sometimes, when I wake up, I do not feel angry, and I indeed feel like I slept real good.
Please don't forget
Take the tinctures very seriously. Make a habit of using them 3 times a day and consistently up to 20-30 days in a row and let it build in your body. If you do this, you will be able to tell how much they are working.
