A Holistic Approach to Health

Medicinal mushrooms and herbs have been integral to traditional healing systems for centuries, providing a wealth of health benefits that modern science is increasingly validating. These natural remedies can improve immune function, enhance mental clarity, and promote general well-being, making them popular in holistic health practices.

Let’s explore some of the diverse benefits of these powerful plants and fungi.

1. Adaptogenic Qualities: Managing Stress & Enhancing Energy

Both medicinal mushrooms and herbs can act as adaptogens, helping the body adapt to stress and maintain equilibrium. These adaptogens support adrenal health, reduce fatigue, and improve energy levels, making them ideal for those dealing with chronic stress or burnout.

Cordyceps Mushroom (Cordyceps sinensis): This rare medicinal mushroom enhances stamina and energy by increasing ATP production in the body’s cells. It’s widely used to combat fatigue and boost athletic performance.

Ashwagandha: A powerful adaptogen, Ashwagandha helps the body resist both physical and mental stress, promoting relaxation, reducing cortisol levels, and improving overall energy and endurance.

2. Boosting Immune Function

3. Cognitive Enhancement & Mental Clarity

4. Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Benefits

5. Gut Health & Digestion

6. Hormonal Balance & Reproductive Health

What Mamas Cottage Mushrooms create are spagyric elixirs, a step up from the more well-known tinctures.

Tinctures are usually a dual extraction process with alcohol and water. There are compounds within the mushrooms and herbs that can only be extracted with alcohol and compounds that can only be extracted by water. Spagyrics is the next level.

Spagyrics is alchemy

The mushrooms and herbs still go through the extraction process then real magic happens next.

After the extraction is completed, the mushroom/herb will then be dried naturally, then burnt to an ash. This ash will then be turned to a salt, which then gets reintroduced to the extracted liquid. There is no mushroom or herb left when the process has been completed.

The ideal way to take this is under the tongue. Mamas Cottage Mushrooms elixirs come in handy dropper bottles. Why take it under the tongue? Because it is one of the most absorbent places in your body and it will get right into your system in comparison to powers, capsules or tablets, where these are ingested and head into your digestive system.
