Reishi Hydrosol

This is one of the very few examples of a mushroom hydrosol.
Robert Rogers shares in his book Scents of Wonder, that a fruiting body of Reishi hydrosol was analyzed to contain at least 22 identifiable compounds.
This hydrosol was crafted from the slices of Reishi 42, a unique Reishi grown on a substrate of 42 medicinal herbs containing novel compounds not found in any other Reishi mushroom.

Reishi is known to be anti-fungal, anti-microbial, and excellent at fighting free radicals, restoring skin elasticity, helping with bounce-back firmness, and anti-inflammatory actions. This so-called Mushroom of Longevity is full of antioxidants which help to neutralize free-radicals that can cause damage to the skin and lead to signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. One of Reishi mushroom's major compounds Beta-glucans, are reported to hydrate the skin, helping the skin attract water and keep it there, making Reishi mushroom a great hydrating ingredient. And for hair, Reishi has been said to improve blood circulation, allowing the smooth flow of oxygen and nutrients to the scalp.

Try consuming internally as well as applying topically.

Mist as a tonic in your skin, hair and oral care regime.

What are hydrosols?

Hydrosols are produced by distilling organic or wild-crafted fresh and dried plant materials into therapeutic and aromatic waters. All of our hydrosols that we make in-house are true hydrosols that result from the long and slow traditional distillation process using an alembic copper distiller from Portugal that is lead-free.

During the distillation, we do not separate the essential oils from the final product, so you can be assured that these hydrosol contain the full potency of the plant.  We prefer to use fresh plant material as this allows us to capture not just all the volatile components of the plant, but more importantly, the cellular water from the living plant. This cellular water is usually lost under the conventional high pressurized steam runs for essential oils, or absent when using only dried plant material. It is this cellular water, imbued with nutritious minerals, phytosterols, antioxidants, and countless other natural botanical chemicals, that imparts our hydrosols with the water-soluble aromatic and therapeutic properties of the plant.

**When Shipping Hydrosols in the winter months, We have noticed freezing temperatures have caused shattering of the bottles. Please be aware of this when choosing to ship in winter.
