Organic Maitake Tincture

A traditional Chinese tonic used for over 2,000 years, maitake is also known as “Hen of the Woods” and has so many health benefits.

I absolutely love this mushroom as it’s so high in antioxidants. It’s full of polysaccharides which support the immune system, stabilise blood pressure and sugars, naturally lower cholesterol and help with chronic fatigue. Maitake is a great source of B vitamins – which help your body make energy from the food you eat – as well as amino acids, Vitamin D, copper, potassium and selenium. 

Regularly taking this tincture which is grown locally in Somerset can help:

• Support immunity

The compounds in maitake mushrooms have been shown to increase white blood cell activity.

• Reduce stress

Adaptogens help the body adapt to stress and bring it back into balance. 

• Brain and Heart health

As they’re so high in antioxidants, maitake mushrooms help reduce oxidative stress and support our key organs.

This tincture is grown by the only organic certified medicinal mushroom producer currently in the UK. They are Soil Association certified and are super strength with a 1:4 ratio, meaning you can enjoy maximum benefits.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Yes! But always consult a doctor as everyone has very individual and sometimes complex health issues. Chinese medicine often works hand in hand with Western medicine and complements the healing process.

How do I make sure I'm using my gua sha tools correctly, without causing damage to my skin?

Please be reassured, it’s very difficult to damage your skin with this time-old technique. Before you try gua sha for the first time, read the instruction leaflet inside the packaging and watch the short video on the product page of this site. Go easy to start with and watch how your skin responds before continuing. Please note, gua sha should not be performed over broken skin, varicose veins, moles, cuts or bruises.
