We added foraged Oregon reishi to the first ferment to extract the medicinal benefits of the mushroom then added rose, and more reishi for a cold soak after fermentation. Reishi Rose is an earthy, carmely brew with a floral finish. Reishi is known as the mushroom of immortality. It is an adaptogen which means it helps the body adapt to stress and reduce cortisol. It gently supports the immune systems and acts as a tonic for the 3 major organ systems of the body- heart, lungs and liver. Reishi mushroom has been used to help enhance focus, reduce anxiousness, improve sleep, and lessen fatigue. Rose has long had an affinity with the feminine, gently nurturing and supporting women through every aspect of their reproductive lives. Rose petals contain polyphenols, antioxidants that work to protect your body from cell damage. The polyphenols in rose petals have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cognitive diseases. Roses are high in antioxidants, improve mood, promote better sleep, minimize cramping during a women's monthly bleed, balance hormones during menopause, reduce inflammation and encourages healthy hair and skin. This is the perfect tonic for mothers and women.
