Nourish Your Lungs - Breathe Easy
Organic Alcohol, Spring Water, Elecampane Root (I. Helenium), Horehound (M. Vulgare), Licorice Root (G. Glabra), Marshmallow Root (A. Officinalis), Mullein Leaf (V. Thapsus), Yarrow (A. Millefolium) and Ginger (Z. Officinale).Â
Directions: Take 2-3 dropper fulls in tea or water, 2-3 times a day or as needed. Not For Prolonged Use!
This tonic is specially formulated to support the respiratory system and help you breathe easier.
Elecampane Root has been shown to support lung function, help relieve coughing, stimulate bronchial secretions, and help ward off infections of the lower respiratory tract. Elecampane provides powerful nourishment to the respiratory and immune systems. It is known for its ability to support optimal lung health.Â
Horehound has been used effectively to treat the common cold, shortness of breath, persistent cough, and increased mucus secretions. Horehound can help cough sufferers get rid of the thick mucus that clogs up airways and it is also shown that horehound has both antispasmodic and analgesic (pain-relieving) effects.
Licorice Root and Marshmallow Root are demulcents that soothe and protect damaged or inflamed tissue, and they are expectorants that assists in the expelling of old, thick mucus from the throat and lungs. They can relax constricted airways and soothe a sore throat. Â
Yarrow is another great herb for reducing mucous buildup in the body or lungs and it is helpful in relieving fevers, shortening the duration of a cold or flu, and helping to improve relaxation during illness.
Ginger helps to break down mucus, making it easier for your body to expel air, and is also warming which helps improve circulation to the lungs and reduces inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Do You Use Fruit Body or Mycelium?
All of our medical mushroom tinctures are made entirely from sustainably wild-foraged or organically homegrown mushroom fruit bodies, ensuring the highest potency. We use NO filler products such as mycelium mass.
What Extraction Methods Do You Use?
We use the traditional Taoist method of double and triple extraction ensuring the highest potency. This process unlocks the maximum amount of bio-available medicine compared to any other technique, i.e., powders, capsules, etc. Our double extraction process is as follows:
- We use low temperature dehydration of respectfully foraged or homegrown mushroom fruit bodies.
- We then make an extract consisting of four ounces of dried mushrooms to one half gallon pure alcohol for two or more weeks.
- Next, we cold press and separate the mushroom fruit from the alcohol.
- Then we add the mushroom fruit body to two-and-a-half gallons of living spring water that is boiled until half a gallon of liquid remains, resulting in a decoction (concentrated essence). The decoction is then cooled.
- The mushroom fruit is then separated from the liquid by cold press.
- Finally, the alcohol extract is combined with the water decoction for full spectrum benefits.Â
Our triple extraction process for Chaga includes all of the above with an additional low temperature (160° F) water decoction for 8 hours.
There is approximately 100 mg of full spectrum mushroom medicine in 3 droppers of extract.
What's the Alcohol Content and Type?
To maximize the bio-availability of our medicines, we maintain approximately 45% alcohol by volume. Alcohol is the essential agent for mushroom extraction and is needed to unlock the benefits of polysaccharides, polyphenols, carotenoids, and peptides, etc. We believe that the Taoists created alcohol for this very process.
We use 190 proof organic, gluten free corn alcohol.
How Fast is Your Shipping?

from 1446 reviewsI love the taste and especially the ingredients. .

Helps the kidney function properly!

I've tried other mushroom coffees. Yours is the best!

I add this to my coffee every morning. I love the earthy flavor ot adds. I really think it has helped my gut health and general energy as well. I fade less often in the afternoons.

I love it! Just wish the quantity was a little more.

I was very impressed with the quality and potency of this product!! Will be ordering more when needed.

Wonderful

Works great, muscles feel more relaxed and can feel my lower back to where it no longer feels numb. Great stuff!
Perfect combination of herbs~ Im looking forward to taking regularly. Taste is nice and potent. Shipped right away!
Very high quality extract. Tastes pure, like the mushroom. Very pleased.
I recommend the Ghost Pipe Tincture. It was delivered in a timely basis and well-packaged. The tincture came in a dark glass bottle to prevent sun deterioration. Although the company clearly states the tincture is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, I found it very helpful to alleviate nerve pain in my lower back and legs. Kristina very thoroughly answered my questions and addressed my concerns. I will certainly buy this tincture again, and consider other items from this shop.
Mushrooms: The Foundation of Life
For millennia, mushrooms have been used as staple sources of food and medicine. Recently, with modern scientific breakthroughs, we now know just how important these ancient traditions truly are. Mushrooms just may be the key ingredients to long term, full-body health.
Mushrooms are adaptogens. They must be taken regularly over a long period of time in order to receive any noticeable benefits. It is also important to incorporate a dose of soluble vitamin C with your mushroom medicines. This helps the absorption of polysaccharides, increasing bioavailability. The easiest and most potent way to ingest medicinal mushrooms is in traditional double extracted form. The double extraction is necessary because it unlocks both the water-soluble (polysaccharides) and alcohol soluble (terpenoids and phenolics) components, making a full-spectrum medicine. It is also easy to make medicinal teas simply from chunked dried mushrooms. Cooking gourmet mushrooms in food can prove to be very beneficial as well. We invite you to start enjoying mushrooms today and everyday for a lifetime of good health.
