Blue Elderberry Wild Crafted Tincture | OsoMoya

This is a tasty extract made from fresh, ripe, wild elderberries from our native elder tree in Oregon, Sambucus cerulea ("blue elder"). I harvest these berries from pristine sites in the Coast Range and the Cascades in the early autumn. Blue elderberries are very beautiful, developing a dust-like coating on their skins, like some grapes, which give them a wonderful silvery appearance. The tincture turns a very dark blue/purple (indicative of a high anthocyanin concentration) and thickens into an almost syrupy tincture after several weeks in alcohol. The color comes from anthocyanins and phenolic compounds in the skins of the fruits. These compounds are highly antioxidant, and elderberries are one of nature's richest sources

Devil's Club Wild Crafted Tincture | OsoMoya

Devil's Club (Oplopanax horridus) is a very powerful plant. I love seeing it in its native habitat here in the deep, wet woods of the Pacific Northwest. Over my short experience as an herbal enthusiast, Devil's Club extract has become one of my favorite products. I love the rooty, ginseng-like, flavor. It reminds me of the clean forest duff around where it grows, almost like the plants are distilling the essence of the old-growth forest and concentrating it in the roots. Another common name for Devil's Club is Alaskan Ginseng as it is in the same plant family as the famous Panax ginseng of Asia (Araliaceae). Devil's Club also falls into the same medicinal herb category of adaptogen. The term adaptogen was coined by Soviet scientists to categorize certain plants and fungi which help modulate our body's reaction to stress. The roots are harvested from a pristine location deep in the Coastal Range of Oregon

Elephant's Head Wild Crafted Tincture | OsoMoya

Elephant's Head (Pedicularis groenlandica) is a very interesting plant. Somewhat elusive, it grows in middle elevation in summer meadows in the Cascade Mountain Range of Oregon and Washington. This plant has gained the interest of herbal healers and connoisseurs around the world, not just because of its flowers' uncanny likeness to the head of an elephant, but also due to its potent and specific effects as a healing herb. Elephant's Head is hemi-parasitic on other plants in these highly specific environments, so it's almost impossible to bring into cultivation on any meaningful commercial scale. In effect, this adds another level to the mystique of the herb, since it often takes a trained wildcrafter to find stands large enough to harvest without causing any appreciable damage to these ecosystems year after year. For these reasons - medicinal value, relative scarcity, and resistance to cultivation - Elephant's Head is a concern for many wildcrafters, herbalists, botanists, and ecologists, as being in a possibly precarious position in the future (climate change is also a factor).

Oregon Reishi Wild Crafted Mushroom Tincture | OsoMoya

Medicinal mushrooms have been used as very important tonic medicines for centuries in Asian healing modalities. There are many of these mushrooms (Maitake, Turkey Tail, Lion's Mane, to name only a few), and it is easy to get lost in their power and beauty. Reishi, however, is often given the title, "King of the Mushrooms," which is surely saying a lot, considering the company it keeps. These mushrooms have a very long history of reverence and appreciation, and have even been endowed mystical and spiritual qualities. The term Reishi is used commonly to describe several species in the genus Ganoderma. There's much doubt and debate about what to call different reishi mushrooms found around the world. Are they all just different phenotypic expressions of the same highly variable G. lucidum species? In any case, what we call "Oregon Reishi" is a common Pacific Northwest fungus variously termed Ganoderma oregonense, G. tsugae, G. lucidum or G. resinaceum, depending on who's doing the identification

Organic Chaga Mushroom Tincture | OsoMoya

This is a high quality, homemade and hand-pressed Chaga mushroom double extract. I don't cut any corners on making this the best extract on the market. I make a highly concentrated tincture first, and let it steep in high percentage, organic cane sugar alcohol for at least 2 months. Then, I hand strain the tincture, and put the strained mushroom in a slow cooker with wild spring water, and do a hot water extraction. I let it cook on low, breaking down the chitin cell wall of the fungus, for one whole day. This process releases many of the polysaccharides that the regular tincturing process doesn't. When the secondary extraction is complete, I hand strain it, and then mix it with the tincture, creating a beautiful, rich, and very medicinal result. Chaga has been used in traditional Siberian medicine for centuries as a healthful tonic. Studies have shown that it has one of the highest ORAC (anti-oxidant) scores of all known foods, making it an amazingly strong anti-aging and general maintenance tonic. There are no known contraindications, and very few, if any, recorded negative effects from taking even very high doses of chaga.
