Maitake - Tincture - 032 - YaoMedica

The "Maitake" tincture is based on the Maitake mushroom, also known as Hen of the Woods. In Chinese medicine, it was used to support metabolism and circulation. Descriptions of Maitake are found in sources from the Han Dynasty (206-210 AD) and in the work of Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing. For women, it is used to support the treatment of breast cancer and weakened functioning of the bladder. This is called a "protective" fungus for the elderly as it helps to strengthen the Kidneys and Liver. Additionally, Maitake is used in such ailments as: edema, urinary incontinence, ascites, obesity, damp build-up and hemorrhoids.

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.
