Chaga - Tincture - 030 - YaoMedica

The "Chaga" tincture is based on a chaga mushroom macerated in alcohol. It has been used in Traditional  Chinese Medicine for 4000 years and in Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, Chaga is described as a fungus that supports the functioning of the liver, digestive and circulatory systems. People in Siberia have been making decoctions from it for a long time and used it in the treatment of cancer. They call the mushroom the “God’s Gift”. Chaga infusion is believed to improve well-being and to have anti-inflammatory effects and heal stomach ailments. Chaga helps to heal and protect the mucous membranes in the treatment of gastritis and ulcers. It is recommended for women in perimenopause because it helps to nourish the blood and body fluids - it's good to combine it with Reishi. The combination of Chaga and Reishi also supports people suffering from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Yao tinctures based on Chinese recipes

Yao means "medicinal plant", which may be not only a herb, mushroom, but also a mineral or a clam. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbs are most often composed in a way to interact and complement each other, bringing the desired effects.

There are several methods of processing Yao in Chinese phytotherapy. The most common is decoction, boiling the herbs for about 20 minutes. The second form are wan tablets, i.e. extruding the raw material and pressing it into small balls. Another form are tinctures, called "medicinal wines" in ancient China, equally popular form of processing Yao by the use of alcohol. 

The use of alcohol in the production of tinctures helps to better extract the active ingredients from individual Yao and supports the absorption in the human body. It has been proven that alcohol causes the release of more active ingredients than in the forms of decoctions or baths. 

Thanks to Yang nature of alcohol, it is very moving and therefore affects the blood circulation, helps to relax muscles, joints and general tension in the body. In combination with herbs, it supports overall vitality and soothes painful conditions.
