About this formula
Reishi and its companion herbs carry deep roots in traditions where stillness was considered a practice, not an absence. Rooted in Kampo philosophy, this formula brings them together as a considered whole.
Reishi
Ganoderma lucidum
Known as Ling Zhi in China and Reishi in Japan, this mushroom has appeared in East Asian texts for over 2,000 years. It became a symbol of harmony, longevity, and inner stillness, depicted in art and imperial imagery across centuries of recorded history.
Oatstraw
Avena sativa
Gathered throughout Europe for generations, Oatstraw has long been valued in herbal tradition for its association with nourishment, simplicity, and life's natural rhythms. It brings a grounding quality to this blend, connecting East Asian tradition with European herbal practice.
Skullcap
Scutellaria lateriflora
Long associated with quiet reflection in Western herbal traditions, Skullcap has historically been used in practices centred on contemplation and quiet presence. Its place in this formula reflects the cross-cultural thread running through each ingredient.
Lemon Balm
Melissa officinalis
Cultivated in monastery gardens across Europe for centuries, Lemon Balm became woven into traditions of mindful daily ritual. Its gentle presence in herbal practice spans cultures and generations of recorded use.
Tulsi
Ocimum tenuiflorum
Revered in India as a sacred plant associated with devotion, presence, and purposeful living, Tulsi has held a central place in Ayurvedic tradition for thousands of years, connecting this formula to a third distinct lineage of herbal practice.
Extraction method
Why extraction method matters
Reishi undergoes two separate extraction passes, one in hot water and one in alcohol, before being combined. Its naturally occurring compounds are not all soluble in the same solvent, meaning a single-method extract captures only part of the picture.
Water-soluble compounds
Draws out polysaccharides and beta-glucans, the constituents preserved in traditional decoctions and teas across East Asian herbal practice for centuries.
Alcohol-soluble compounds
Captures triterpenoids and other constituents that would be lost entirely in a water-only process. Both passes are necessary to reflect the full compound profile Reishi holds.
Oatstraw, Skullcap, Lemon Balm and Tulsi - hot water extracted
All four companion herbs are extracted using hot water, consistent with the traditional preparation methods in which they have been used for centuries - decoctions, infusions, and teas.

Rooted in tradition
Kampo philosophy
This formula draws from three distinct herbal lineages - East Asian, European, and Ayurvedic - brought together under Kampo philosophy. Each tradition, independent of the others, arrived at similar values: that stillness is cultivated, not stumbled upon, and that daily practice is how it is kept.
Kampo holds that herbs in combination reflect the whole more fully than any single ingredient alone. The five herbs here were not chosen for convenience - they were chosen because their traditions converge on the same idea.
Stillness is not the absence of activity. It is a practice, something returned to, daily, with intention.
