Wild Red Reishi Drops Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is currently recognized as one of the most important and beneficial tonic herbs in the world. Reishi has been the most revered herb in Asia since pre-historic times. Sages and emperors sought this herb to confer health, well being, good fortune and wisdom. Reishi is now widely cultivated, but Wild Reishi is very rare. It is not possible to collect very large amounts of it. It is special because it is totally natural. In the wild, it is a superb collector of Qi and Shen energy. It is called the “Herb of Spiritual Potency” and the “Mushroom of Immortality.” Reishi has only been cultivated for the past thirty years. Originally, of course, Reishi was collected in the wild. The historical records only discuss Wild Reishi. Dragon Herbs has developed a relationship with local herb collectors in the high altitude regions of Changbai Mountain, the Di Taoauthentic source of Reishi. These amazing people spend their entire lives scouring the remote pristine forests looking for the rarest herbs – Wild Reishi, Wild Ginseng, Wild Schizandra, Wild Asparagus, and so on. We are fortunate to have a limited but steady supply of truly wild Reishi mushroom. These mushrooms are not planted or wildcrafted by humans. They grow where they will, where they are perfectly suited. The growing environment is extremely harsh (alpine). As a result, they develop great power.   Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops is made from pure WILD Red Reishi Mushroom fruiting bodies. The “fruiting body” is the part that looks like a mushroom. This is exactly the same Reishi that has been revered as the “Mushroom of Immortality.” We do not use any mycelia (underground growth), and there are no additives of any sort in the production of Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops. Dragon Herbs uses only Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies – we do not mix species in this product. (If you want mixed mushroom species, see Dragon Herbs 22 Reishis, a proprietary blend of 22 wild mushroom varieties from various remote mountain sources from Mongolia to Tibet to Manchuria to Kunlun and beyond.) Wild Red Reishi, because it is WILD, possesses more Shen than cultivated varieties of Reishi. Most hot-house Reishi, which is usually made from only the artificially generated mycelia, possesses little Shen, if any. No herb on earth is more capable of supporting the development of Shen than WILD Red Reishi. Wild Red Reishi is much more difficult to analyze and quantify than cultivated Reishi. The mushrooms grow on different varieties of trees, and grow in different environments on the mountain. This variety is perhaps of special value, but it means that there is no way to standardize the product. Dragon Herbs does mix mushrooms collected from various ecological niches on Changbai Mountain, so that the wildness of the Reishi is accentuated. Furthermore, the mushrooms are of course not all of the same age. Some are “Grandfather Reishi,” some are middle aged, and some are young (though we only use mature Reishi fruiting bodies in our product). This age difference does mean that the chemical constituents in different mushrooms will be different. We, of course, consider this to be a benefit because it expands the range of phytochemicals. Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops is one of the most wonderful herbal products available in the world. It is produced with exacting care to extract both water and alcohol soluble components and to protect the energy and spirit of the mushrooms.  Wild Red Reishi Drops is a very potent 8:1 hydro-ethanolic extract. That means that it takes 8 pounds of these Wild Red Reishimushrooms to make one gallon of finished extract.  Even if you regularly consume a Duanwood Reishi product such as Duanwood Reishi capsules or Supreme Protector, you owe it to yourself to consume a bottle of Wild Red Reishi from time to time – or to make it part of your regular Reishi regiment.* Traditional Function: Tonifies Qi and Shen. Who can use it? People who want to take Reishi for its Shen benefits. Concentration: 8:1  Specifications: 2 fl. oz Ingredients: Wild Changbai Mountain Red Reishi fruiting body. Other Ingredients: water, alcohol Usage: 3-12 droppers per day or as directed by your health care practitioner Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.

Product Details - Increases ATP (cellular energy) production- Increases oxygen absorption & utilisation- Increases endurance/anti-fatigue- Can improve both male & female libido- Potent restorative/rejuvenating medicine- Can increase lung capacity and improve respiratory function- Helps regulate blood sugar- Can improve focus & concentration For a comprehensive overview of Cordyceps and its potential health benefits watch the video above: Imperial Cordyceps is a concentrated extract that has been produced to the highest specifications currently possible. The extract comprises 66% Cordyceps sinensis liquid-fermented mycelia and 34% Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies, mirroring the overall composition of wild Cordyceps that has been an important medicine in Asia for many centuries. Imperial Cordyceps was the name given to the finest quality Cordyceps sinensis species that was reserved for the royalty and nobility of ancient China and Tibet. However, wild Cordyceps is now the most expensive natural medicine on the planet and fetches upwards of $20,000 per kilo. Sadly it is a completely unsustainable industry that is threatening the biodiversity of the high Himalayan regions. Fortunately it is now possible to cultivate Cordyceps species to an extremely high standard that reflects the potency & quality of the famed Imperial Cordyceps of the Himalayas, and at a fraction of the price. Two thirds of the wild Cordyceps sinensis body would be filled with mycelium, where as the club-shaped fruiting body would extend from the head of its caterpillar host, making up the remaining third of the fungus. However, it is not currently possible to cultivate Cordyceps sinensis so that it produces a mature fruiting body. Cultivation of the mycelia on the other hand, does produce an end result that is very similar and more consistent in quality to that of its wild counterpart. For the fruiting body, another, chemically very similar species called Cordyceps militaris is used, as this species yields a medicinally potent fruiting body much more easily. The mycelia of Cordyceps sinensis is cultivated via liquid fermentation (CS-4) while the fruiting bodies of Cordyceps militaris are grown on a substrate of silkworm larvae - both are organically grown. The two species/parts of this fungus are then dual-extracted into pressurised hot water and then ethanol separately - a process which is repeated as many times as necessary to extract everything of therapeutic value. The pressurised extraction environment allows maximum capture of the bioactive compounds while preserving their structural integrity and protecting them from denaturing from the high temperature. Both extracts are concentrated at a 1:2 ratio - this means that one part pure Cordyceps material is macerated, decocted and extracted into two parts liquid solvent. For example, 500g of finely ground Cordyceps is added to 1 litre of rectified ethanol, whole 500g of Cordyceps is added to 2 litres of water, which is reduced to 1 litre due to the pressurised decoction. This is the maximum concentration for this species, as it is not possible to add more Cordyceps to this volume of liquid. In total four extracts are made: ethanolic extracts of C. sinensis CS-4 liquid-fermented mycelia and C. militaris fruiting body, plus pressurised hot water extracts of both. The extracts undergo a double-filtration process to remove any residual impurities or fibre and are combined through a final third filtration to produce the resulting dual-extract. There are absolutely no fillers or additives used in this product whatsoever. This extract is bottled in Miron Violet Glass – the best quality glass in the world – in order to protect and preserve the integrity of this outstanding medicine from ultraviolet degradation. Nyishar Imperial Cordyceps delivers a truly superior product that is a completely pure and rich source of every healing compound that the Cordyceps fungus has to offer.

Eleuthero   Eleuthero, also known as Siberian Ginseng, is an adaptogenic herb that improves the ability to handle stress. Eleuthero (Latin: Eleutherococcus senticosus) has been shown to help modulate the activation of the adrenal cortex in response to stress. Eleuthero helps to increase physical and mental endurance and helps to improve memory. Eleuthero benefits mental and physical endurance and has anti-fatigue activity. Eleuthero aids in the recovery from hard exercise. Eleuthero has been shown to improve mental alertness and work output, and aids in the recovery from mental exertion. Eleuthero helps to build blood and improves the ability of the body to absorb and efficiently use oxygen. Eleuthero supports immune function. Eleuthero is mildly stimulating. Most people will feel its effects quickly. However, its real benefits are cumulative and long term. Eleuthero contains chemical constituents, saponins, that are very similar to those in Ginseng and Gynostemma, known as eleutherosides. These active constituents provide the basis of Eleuthero's adaptogenic actions and performance enhancing actions.*   Traditional Function: Tonifies Qi*   Specifications: 100 Capsules, 500 mg each   Ingredients: Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) root (Siberian Ginseng).   Other Ingredients: Vegetarian capsules**, rice powder   Usage:  Take 3 capsules, 2 times per day or as directed by a healthcare professional.   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.

Ginseng Sublime Mini Drops   Ginseng Sublime is our most popular Ginseng product. This is the kind of Ginseng spoken of by the great tonic herbalists throughout the history of Chinese herbalism. It is truly sublime.   Ginseng Sublime is distinguished by the quality of the Ginseng roots used to make it. This highly concentrated tincture is made from the finest red Ginseng roots in the world. It contains Heaven Grade North and South Korean Ginseng, certified by the respective agencies that control Ginseng in those countries. Ginseng Sublime also contains Heaven Grade Shu Chu Ginseng from China. Shu Chu Ginseng is the finest Ginseng cultivated in China. Heaven Grade means its is the crème de la crème of this Ginseng. Also used to produce Ginseng Sublime is Emperor's Tribute Red Ginseng, Heaven Grade of course, grown in the former Emperor of China's own Ginseng plantation. Recent studies have shown this to be the most potent cultivated Ginseng in the world. Ginseng Sublime also contains Red and White Ginseng roots, 8 years old or older, grown on Dragon Herbs own Ginseng plantation in Chiangbai Mountain, just a few kilometers from Shu Chu Valley, the growing site of Shu Chu Ginseng. This House Ginseng is organically grown and processed naturally by an ancient technique by local villagers.   In addition, Ginseng Sublime contains premium grade cultivated American Ginseng roots grown in the Catskill Mountains of New York State. To top it off, we add Siberian Ginseng roots and Himalayan Ginseng roots from Tibet (Panax Notoginseng) to complete the "ginsenoside" profile of this extraordinary Ginseng product.   We add a number of wild Chinese and American Ginseng roots as well, making Ginseng Sublime the most complete Ginseng extract in the world. Ginseng Sublime is quite similar to 500 Ginsengs, another full-spectrum Ginseng extract produced by Dragon Herbs. However, it is not as Yang and has a different proportion of Ginseng varieties. In particular, it contains more Chiangbai Mountain Red Ginseng and less North Korean Heaven Grade Ginseng, accounting for the difference in price.   Ginseng   Panax Ginseng (Chinese and Korean Ginseng) is one of the most famous and valued herbs used by mankind, Panax Ginseng is an energy tonic that regulates the human energy system. It has been shown to be stimulating and regulatory to both the central nervous system and to the endocrine system. It is the primary Qi tonic of Chinese tonic herbalism.   Panax Ginseng helps a person to adapt to all kinds of stress, and enhances endurance and resilience under stressful conditions. It has thus been termed an "adaptogenic" substance by scientific researchers. Panax Ginseng is also used to tonify digestive and respiratory functions. Panax Ginseng contains many active ingredients, but the most important are the saponins called ginsenosides. Ginsenosides specifically improve adaptability and are believed to help build muscle and endurance. Therefore Panax Ginseng is very popular with athletes. Panax Ginseng generally has a "warm" energy.   Most high quality ginseng is good for men and women alike. The higher the quality, the more Shen (Spirit) a ginseng root is said to contain. Wild and semi wild Ginseng, such as that contained in Ginseng Sublime, is generally far superior to the cultivated, commercial varieties. However, there are a number of varieties of superb cultivated ginseng as well, the rival the potency and effectiveness of wild Ginseng. The best of these are from Chiangbai Mountain, in Manchuria, and from North Korea. South Korea also produces superb ginseng. The best cultivated Ginseng is known as “heaven grade.” Most commercial Ginseng is grown with chemicals. Beware of cheap Ginseng products, because they are often made from immature roots that have imbalanced chemistry. These cheaper Ginseng products account for Ginseng’s unfortunate reputation for increasing tension or for causing headaches, or even high blood pressure. Mature, high quality Ginseng will not have any side effects.   Dragon Herbs House Ginseng (Red and White Panax Ginseng): Dragon Herbs has been a contract grower of Panax Ginseng inChiangbai Mountain for the last decade. The Ginseng plantation that grows Dragon Herbs House Ginseng is just one valley south  of the famous Shu Chu Valley (about fifteen miles as the eagle flies) and at the same altitude. This is the best Ginseng-growing area in the world. Dragon Herbs produces both white and red Ginseng. In fact, white and red Ginseng are grown exactly the same and harvested at the same time. The difference lies in the final "processing." White Ginseng is peeled and sun-dried. Red Ginseng is steamed in a local village over a cauldron of boiling Jujube Date tea. Red Dates have long been used in the process of steaming red Ginseng because it is believed that Jujube Dates enhance the activity of the Ginseng. Red Ginseng contains more ginsenosides, the main active constituents of Ginseng, than White Ginseng. The additional ginsenosides are created during the steaming process, and these ginsenosides make the Ginseng more potent and more effective as an adaptogenic and protective tonic herb. White Ginseng, on the other hand, tends to have a more immediate energizing action on those who consume it. Dragon Herbs uses both Red and White Ginseng to make Ginseng Sublime. This excellent, 100% chemical-free Ginseng is the dominant Ginseng in Ginseng Sublime.   Shu Chu Ginseng (Red Panax Ginseng): Shu Chu Valley of Chiangbai Mountain, just north of North Korea, is the most famous Ginseng growing area in the world. The Ginseng that grows there is considered to be close to perfect. Wild Ginseng can still be found in the mountain forests at in this high altitude valley, but it is the cultivated variety that is world famous for its excellent balance, taste and potent effects. Shu Chu Ginseng has long been considered the highest grade of cultivated Ginseng that China has to offer (though Emperor Preserve Ginseng, which grows in an adjacent valley about 50 miles away, is now considered equivalent). Shu Chu Ginseng is prized for its profound Qi-strengthening qualities. It is a superb adaptogenic. It is also the Ginseng of choice when one wishes to enhance mental and creative energy. "Shu Chu 15" is the best Ginseng grown from seed in China. These roots are grown from extremely potent wild stock seed in semi-wild Ginseng gardens in the famed and remote Shu Chu Valley . Shu Chu roots are a mild variety of red Ginseng. They are steamed and dried, and as a result of this process, they are rich in potent red Ginseng ginsenosides, including Rg3 and Rb1, among others.   South Korean Heaven Grade Ginseng (Red Panax Ginseng): Extremely highly regarded, South Korean Ginseng that is certified by the Ministry of Health is of extremely high quality. These naturally processed red roots are rich in ginsenosides, some of which are not found in wild Ginseng roots. These ginsenosides arise during the process of steaming used to make the white Ginseng into red Ginseng. Some of these special ginsenosides have recently been found to have profound immune modulating activity.   North Korean Heaven Grade Ginseng (Red Panax Ginseng): For centuries, North Korean red Ginseng has been considered the best in the world. Though the Chinese and South Koreans challenge this, the fact is that no better red Ginseng exists on the planet. North Korean Red Ginseng is yang and very warm in nature. It is thus very invigorating and empowering. Heaven grade is the highest grade of Ginseng available, so North Korean Heaven Grade Red Ginseng, certified by the government, is as good as it gets in terms of cultivated Ginseng. However, it is too hot and too yang for some people, and that is why it is best to blend it with yin herbs such as American Ginseng, as we have in Ginseng Sublime. This is a mighty Ginseng - used by martial artists and athletes for centuries.   Emperor Preserved Ginseng (Red Panax Ginseng): This Ginseng acquired its name when the Emperor Kangxi of the Qing (Ching) Dynasty issued an imperial edict that all the Ginseng grown in Jingyu County (West slope of Chiangbai Mountain, Manchuria) be reserved exclusively for the use of the imperial family. It was thus grown exclusively for the Emperor of China and his family. The Emperor Preserved Ginseng is still collected from the same mountain plantations, and is processed using the most sophisticated technology. Tests by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture proved its quality to meet or exceed that of any other Red Ginseng in the world. In 1992, when it was introduced to the world after more than 50 years, it won the gold medal at the International Exhibition of Inventions. This Ginseng is extremely rich in ginsenosides and immune modulating polysaccharides. It is believed to be especially beneficial for improving blood sugar regulation, easing fatigue, stimulating circulation in the veins and arteries and for nourishing the skin. Because the supply is very limited, this Ginseng is rarely found in America except in Dragon Herbs products (we have to go toChina directly to get it, and must carry it back to the U.S.A. in small quantities).    American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolium): In China Panax quinquefolium ("American" Ginseng) is highly regarded for its ability to promote the secretion of body fluids. It is considered to be especially strengthening to pregnant women and beneficial to new mothers. In China, American Ginseng is regarded as a true panacea. American Ginseng is useful for people who are hot but wish to take Ginseng. In other words, people who tend to have lots of energy, high metabolisms, are aggressive, tend toward higher blood pressure, have ruddy complexions, etc. can take American Ginseng without overheating. In fact, taking the American Ginseng will help to balance out the system and can correct overheating problems, especially when the excess heat is in the lungs and stomach. American Ginseng is often used in China to tonify the lungs of people who have dry coughs due to smog, smoking or from other causes. It is said to moisten and cool the lungs. Since it is a cooling herb which replenishes fluids, it counterbalances the more yang Ginseng roots in this formulation. Ginseng Sublime is a very well balanced product suitable to almost anyone. American Ginseng is very effective at aiding the body in regulating blood sugar.   Eleuthero Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus): Eleuthero, popularly (but not legally) known as Siberian Ginseng, grows wild in Siberia and northeast China. It is a relative of Panax Ginseng, and high quality Siberian Ginseng is an adaptogen of unsurpassed power. Though it is not considered to be a Shen tonic, like wild Panax Ginseng, it is a fabulous energy and blood tonic. It enhances oxygenation of the blood and thus increases endurance and general health. It is a major mental energy tonic. It is sometimes called Eleuthero Ginseng. It is a major athlete's herb.   Himalayan Ginseng (Panax Notoginseng): Notoginseng grows at high altitudes in the Himalayas and is known in Asia as the "herb for the preservation of life." Traditionally, in Asia, wild Panax Notoginseng was literally worth its weight in gold. It is a major blood tonic and blood vitalizing agent. It thus improves circulation and is believed in Asia to be especially beneficial to the heart and cardiovascular system. Notoginseng is rich in saponins that are very similar to those found in Panax Ginseng and in American Ginseng. Blended with the other varieties of Ginseng, Notoginseng contributes blood nourishing (yin) benefits and anti-aging effects that makes Ginseng Sublime much more than a mere Ginseng extract, but into a profound, multifaceted formulation made from the major varieties of Ginseng found throughout the world.   In Conclusion   Ginseng Sublime is a super-premium, full spectrum, hydro-ethanolic extract (tincture) of a number of different varieties of Ginseng.Ginseng Sublime is for people who want to experience the power of the finest cultivated and wild Ginseng in the world, expertly blended and extracted as a single product. It is made from a variety of wild, semi-wild and premium-grade (Heaven Grade only) cultivated Chinese and Korean Ginseng roots, top grade American roots, as well as related roots from Tibet, Bhutan and Siberia.   Traditional Function: Tonifies Qi and Shen   Who can use it? Any adult seeking increased energy, alertness and adaptability   Concentration: 8:1   Specifications: 2 Fl.

The resin forms droplets known as 'tears' or 'pearls', our frankincense has a fresh top note with an ancient deep, warm, rich balsamic undertone. Our frankincense essential oil comes from Somaliland where the highest quality of gums whose origins lie in the most ancient plantations rooted in antiquity: the Dhallo valley, heart of frankincense country. Our distiller describes his first visit to the ancient grove: “I was standing on the edge of the escarpment over-looking the Gulf coastline and the ancient groves of frankincense trees, Boswellia carterii. As we ascended the pass we entered into the ancient groves of frankincense trees that had been owned and harvested tribally for millennia. Thousands, of the carterii variety with their bulbous-based trunks grow out of solid conglomerates. With their flaking and thick stems, I thought I was he standing in a perfumed garden of delights and that it was probably the very garden-grove that yielded the gum that became a gift of the Magi for the baby Jesus”. Our unique distiller specializes in the hydrodistillation of the fresh oleo-gum resins of Frankincense. This is very rare to have frankincense distilled with material from the fresh harvest – this creates a rich frankincense with a wide range of incredible top notes and heart notes.

Cross-culturally and trans-historically the aroma of frankincense is “Life” and different cultures have mixed frankincense with oil to anoint newborns and people considered to be moving into new phases of their spiritual lives have anointed their pineal glands. Frankincense oil has the power to uplift awareness by freeing the nerves from excessive tension, allowing us to focus on our deep connection to life. Frankincense deepens and revitalizes mental perception, the breath perfecting prayer, meditation and yoga. Add 4-6 drops of Frankincense essential oil to your diffuser to be used during meditation. Ancient Egypt used Frankincense in rejuvenating masks, cosmetics and perfume. In skin care, frankincense oil reveals its balsamic nature through its miraculous wound healing properties for scars, wounds and wrinkles. Astringent and anti-inflammatory, it is traditionally used to treat scar tissue and skin ulcers, and nourishes dry and prematurely aging skin. Excellent immunostimulant properties; anti-depressant, euphoric qualities are used in aromatherapy to treat anxiety & nervous tension. Apply externally to the affected area for joint conditions. For immune support, massage into the tops of the feet and lymph-node areas dilute with jojoba or Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever. Frankincense essential oil has traditionally used as an anti-asthmatic, strengthening the immune system (immunostimulant). It has been found to have anti-c effects. Frankincense contains boswellic acids, which may be helpful in arthritic conditions where inflammation is indicated, asthma, depression. Active ingredients of frankincense have been reported in recent science journals to be sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, monoterpenes, diterpenes and boswellic acids. Frankincense has been noted as a potent immunostimulant and anti-c. Agent in a variety of scientific studies, the essential oil has been shown to stimulate lymphocyte transformation. It has also been shown to be helpful for asthma. Compounds of frankincense have been found to exhibit in vitro antibacterial, antifungal, and immunomodualtory properties. Frankincense has been used to support oral health for thousands of years in Middle Eastern areas. It is common for Arabian people to place the resin in their mouths and chew it to strengthen teeth and gums. Known for its antimicrobial properties, it is also used to assist with infection of the teeth and gums. Asthma: Similar to arthritis, asthma is an inflammatory-caused illness. A 2006 paper from the University of Tuebingen, Germany indicates that boswellic acid, an active component of frankincense, has shown to act as an anti-inflammatory agent in preliminary studies. The paper further states that boswellic acid inhibits 5-lipoxygenase as well as cytokines and thus promising for treatment of asthma without the side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

"Frankincense oil is a mobile liquid, pale yellow or pale amber-greenish in color. Its odor is strongly diffusive, fresh terpeney, almost green-lemon-like or reminiscent of green, unripe apples (peel) but not terebinthinate. A certain pepperiness is mellowed with a rich, sweet-woody, balsamic undertone. Depending on the method of distillation of the oil (time, vapor pressure, etc) the odor is more or less tenacious with an almost citrus-like, ambre-like, balsamic dryout note. Frankincense oil is used in fine perfumery… It gives delightful effects in citrus colognes where it modifies the sweetness of bergamot and orange oils. A similar effect is obtained in rather difficult "fresh" perfume notes such as verbena, citrus, etc where Frankincense and citral form useful bases for further modifying work. Frankincense in itself is a base for all "incense" or "Frankincense" type perfumes and specialties, and it is an important ingredient in many spice-bases, ambres, "powder type perfumes, floral perfumes, citrus colognes, spice blends, violet perfumes, "men's" fragrances…”Steffen Arctander, Perfume and Flavor Materials of Natural Origin   Review(s) very Effective Thank you Nadine for your recommendations of Frankincense, Peppermint, Black Spruce and Marjoram essential oils to aid in relief of Asthma symtoms and migraine headaches, I haven't had a single episode since I began their use.

Using essential oils for common colds is a safe and proven method of minimizing symptoms, preventing secondary or super infections, and in general supporting the body in fending off the virus… leaving the body in a state of improved immune competence” - Kurt Schnaubelt, Medical Aromatherapy Review(s) Perfect for burns - refreshing water boost This is essential in my healing toolkit. Using this for sunburns - I put pure aloe vera gel mixed with lavender essential oil+peppermint essential oil, and burn is gone fast. Peppermint essential oil has saved my skin many times. It is like an instant ice pack. Another time peppermint essential oil came to the rescue is when I had burnt sensitive skin on my neck with a hot hair straightener - it left a visible mark and hurt, so I kept applying peppermint essential oil every 10 minutes and for a few hours. That night when I got home and looked in the mirror, what looked like something that was going to leave a scar, the burn mark had vanished. This treated my burn on the spot!!! It absorbs deep into the layers of the skin to the tissues to cool them down! Peppermint essential oil works great in a drop of water bottle to keep it cool and fresh. Delicious. Living Libations essential oils are top quality!!! Bites, bumps, bruises begone! I always, always have it in my kit for quick relief. Also, one drop is a perfect mouth freshener when on the run! Clean fresh quality peppermint I believe peppermint is a great oil to have on hand, I keep one in my purse. Living Libations quality far surpasses that of other popular 'therapeutic' grade essential oils, in our own blind test - this tasted real, fresh and clean revealing a chemical-process taste in the other company's oil. happy I also always have it with me: -oral refreshment -on the forehead to get clear in my mind -what ever needs attention: moskito bites, cuts... Peppermint and I are best friends! Divine Your Peppermint is absolutely so divine, it smells like a syrup, so rich & real, it’s almost unbelievable!!! Again, I have to say... Love the Peppermint, what a difference to the cheap brand that I had!!!! Great for small burns I recently burnt myself with my curling iron. I put a dab of the Peppermint oil on the burn which instantly soothed it and I continued to put a dab on daily. The burn is healing nicely and doesn't look like it will scar. Wonderful product! :) This smells and taste wonderful! -like an extract or concentrated peppermint syrup. One of my favourite ways to use is straight after bed to wake me up and make me feel energized in the mornings. It's a New World All I can say is that I now know what real peppermint is. the BEST peppermint oil… EVER I kid not when I say it is very important to get good quality peppermint oil. Though in my experience it is actually pretty difficult to find a “bad” peppermint oil, but I surely do have a favourite. Find this beautiful steam distilled oil here at Living Libations. I feel the vibrations off of this oil like no other I have ever used, it is a real spiritual experience for me. I have come to the conclusion that no one on this planet makes more sublime essential oils than Nadine from Living Libations. You do have to experience it to believe it, but trust me when I say you will be a dedicated follower shortly after you take a sniff. Incredible! I love using a drop of peppermint essential oil as a breath freshener in my purse. It has many other uses, too! Just now I put it over my forehead because I had a slight sinus headache and its cooling effect melted the pain away! Thank you Nadine for all of your incredible essential oils and products. I am having so much fun trying new oils thanks to your wisdom:)  

Wild Red Reishi Drops – 8 oz Super potent hydro-ethanolic extraction Mountain collected 100% wild Powerful Shen tonic Immune potentiating Wisdom promoting Product DescriptionReishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is recognized as one of the most important and beneficial tonic herbs in the world. Red Reishi has been the most revered herb in Asia since pre-historic times. Sages and emperors sought this herb to confer health, well-being, good fortune and wisdom. Wild Red Reishi is very rare in the commercial market because it is not possible to collect very large amounts of it. It is special because it is totally natural. In the wild, it is a superb collector of Qi and Shen energy. It is called the “Herb of Spiritual Potency.” We are fortunate to have a limited but steady supply of truly wild Reishi mushroom. These mushrooms are not planted or wildcrafted by humans. They grow where they will, where they are perfectly suited. The growing environment is extremely harsh (Manchurian alpine). As a result, they develop great power. Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops is made from pure wild Reishi Mushroom fruiting bodies only. The “fruiting body” is the part that looks like a mushroom that emerges from the ground or tree. This is exactly the same Reishi that has been revered as the “Mushroom of Immortality.” We do not use any mycelia (underground growth), and there are no additives of any sort in the production of Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops. Dragon Herbs uses only Ganoderma lucidum species fruiting bodies — we do not mix species in this product.Ingredients: Wild Red Reishi fruiting body.Traditional FunctionTonifies Qi and Shen.

The superior quality and therapeutic efficacy have made it one of our best selling products since its release half a decade ago. Yet despite its elevated status, we saw that there were still some facets of this medicine that could be tweaked and improved upon... Reishi Paragon has now transcended itself - it is our strongest and richest Reishi extract ever.Regenerative Cultivation MethodsFirstly we have evolved the cultivation process - initially Reishi Paragon was created from organic, wood-grown fruiting bodies which underwent a multi-step dual-extraction process to yield the resulting high potency extract powder. However, the mushrooms are now wild-simulated - from the finest quality wild strains and cultivated according to Di Tao principles.'Di Tao’ literally means ‘authentic method’ or ‘from the source’. Di Tao cannot be imitated, simply because it is unique to its geographical location, grown in conditions that simulate its native, wild environment. This means cultivating the mushrooms in the same pristine mountain forests that wild Reishi grows in. This way, the fungi are grown on the same wood from the same forest, immersed in exactly the same soil, the same symbiotic micro-organisms are present, the weather is the same, the same water irrigates the cultivated mushrooms as it does the wild specimens etc.The fruiting bodies are grown on sections of tree trunk from species of fir trees that Reishi grows on in the wild. The trees should be at least three decades old before harvesting for Reishi cultivation, and they must have come from mountain elevations of at least 1500 meters. The logs should be approximately 30cm in diameter, inoculated with wild Reishi spawn and then immersed within humus-rich soil. This way the mushroom mycelium will have an abundance of nutrients to feed upon, and produce larger, therapeutically more potent fruiting bodies. As the mushrooms mature and their medicinal potency is climaxing they are harvested, and the finest quality fruiting bodies are selected to sporulate the subsequent generation. Crop rotation is also important – Reishi should not be grown in the same place for more than two years, after which point the area needs to be naturally replenished with nutritious mulch and allowed to recover. In Di Tao cultivation there a number of growing locations so that when one of them is allowed to rest and regenerate, it can do so for many years before hosting another generation of Reishi cultivation. Not only does this ensure the richest possible growing environment, but it also promotes local biodiversity – the whole process should not take more from the land than it gives back.Dual-ExtractionOnce the mature fruiting body has been harvested it is washed to clear any residual impurities, then dried, and finally pulverised into a fine grain powder. This creates maximum surface area, making the extraction process exponentially more effective. The mushroom powder is then added to purified water - the hot water decoction is completed inside a pressurised container, simmering below 100°c. The pressurised environment is necessary in order to inhibit the denaturing of the water-soluble compounds. Once completed, the water extract is filtered from the powder and more water added for another decoction. In total, this process is carried out three separate times and finally combined.Next, with the filtrate from the hot water extraction removed, the powder is macerated in ethanol and again, this process is repeated three times before completion. Once all alcohol-soluble compounds have been captured by the ethanol, the filtrate is once again separated from the mushroom material. The liquids (water and ethanol) are both precipitated from the extracts so that all of the nutrients and beneficial compounds are contained within the rich, concentrated solid substance that remains, with no water or alcohol residue whatsoever. Next, this concentrate is transformed into a very fine, dry powder, which requires spray-freeze-drying. Low temperature drying is ideal because it preserves the structural integrity and potency of the extract. Once totally dry, the extract is again filtered through a very fine mesh sieve.Before the extract is sealed in airtight containers ready for sale, a sample should be taken for testing; testing firstly to ensure there are no contaminants, and secondly for the presence of the biologically active compounds that should have been captured via the extraction procedures.Bio-active CompoundsTo verify the medicinal potency, Reishi Paragon has been third party lab tested for both of the primary groups of therapeutic compounds in this fungus - beta-D-glucans & triterpenoids. Currently more than 100 fungal polysaccharides have been isolated from the fruiting body, many of which are beta-D-glucans. These constituents are significantly responsible for the beneficial influence this mushroom has on immune cells such as macrophages, lymphocytes and cytokines.Likewise, more than 130 different triterpenoid compounds have been discovered within Reishi fruiting bodies, spores and mycelia, with over 140 triterpene subtypes as well, which include a large assortment of unique Ganoderic acids. These triterpenes have shown remarkable therapeutic properties; antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-allergy, cytotoxic towards malignant cells, hepato-protective and regulatory towards many cardiovascular functions.Beta-D-glucans are captured via the hot water extraction phase, while triterpenes are soluble in ethanol and are collected during that second phase of the extraction. This is why multi-step dual-extraction is necessary - to harvest everything of medicinal value from the fruiting body. This is also why beta-D-glucans and triterpenes cannot both be very high in a single extract, because they are the result of separate extractions. Most products will advertise high percentages of polysaccharides, but this simply means the extract is predominantly (or solely) a hot water extract, containing little (or no) triterpenes.Previously, Reishi Paragon contained about 30% beta-D-glucans but only 5% triterpenes. While this was already an exceptional product, we have worked at narrowing that divide so that the end result reflects the finest specimens of wild Reishi, with a naturally strong triterpene content. The latest batch of Reishi Paragon contains 10.56% beta-D-glucans and a whopping 8.7% triterpenes! This is our most potent and well balanced Reishi extract yet! Take a look at the authorised 'Supplement Facts' label for this product in the image gallery at the top of this page.Finally, this extract is bottled in Miron Violet Glass – the best quality glass in the world – in order to protect and preserve the integrity of this outstanding medicine from ultraviolet degradation.Understanding Reishi SupplementsMost mushroom extracts are either hot water extracts only and contain no triterpenes at all, or they are dual-extracts (hot water & ethanol) but the dual-extraction is performed in a single step (water & ethanol combined). This produces an impure, low potency dual-extract that is low in the bio-active markers we are looking for.In regards to Reishi, a thorough multi-step extraction of high quality fruiting bodies should yield an end product that is rich in bioactive markers such as Reishi-specific beta-glucans 1>3 and 1>6 as well as triterpenes (ganoderic acids, lucidenic acids etc). There are hundreds of medicinally active compounds in Reishi, but these are some of the bioactive constituents that are naturally present in the highest quantities, are the most researched and are fundamentally involved in the health benefits we expect from a Reishi supplement. Therefore it is important that we can test for these as markers for a high quality Reishi extract.Beneficial effects are of course the result of an interdependent relationship between numerous compounds - some of which are in minute quantities - but if a Reishi product contains a negligible amount of beta-glucans & triterpenes then we cannot expect it to be medicinally viable.The overwhelming majority of products will not specify the exact presence of these compounds, simply because they are not present in any significant quantity, if at all. A high percentage of polysaccharides is not a reliable marker either as many producers are using dextrin, maltodextrin or corn starch as additives to increase the overall percentage of polysaccharides, even though they are not from Reishi and contain no medicinal value.Therefore, analysing for specific beta-glucans gives us a clear picture of just how potent a Reishi supplement is, and the percentage of triterpenes will show us that a dual-extraction has indeed taken place and many important sterols & triterpenoids are present. The higher the percentages will indicate that a multi-step extraction process been performed and the product is optimally potent, as well as free from therapeutically useless fillers & additives.Reishi Paragon exemplifies the true power of Reishi mushroom because it has been created for the sole purpose of delivering reliable quality & potency, without cutting any corners whatsoever.Nyishar products and the claims made about them on or through this site have not been evaluated by the MHRA or United States Food and DrugAdministration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.
