Product Information
The mushroom of calm, made properly
Reishi has been used for centuries as a tonic for people who feel stretched thin, and its reputation is one of steadiness: it helps you come back to balance rather than pushing you up or knocking you down. To get that from a bottle you need the whole mushroom, which is why this is a non-thermal double extract, drawing out both the alcohol-soluble and the water-soluble parts. A single-method tincture leaves half of Reishi in the discard pile. This one does not.
What it actually does through the day
Most people notice the calm first. Taken in the evening it helps a wound-up head loosen its grip, supporting relaxation and the slow slide into proper rest. Underneath that, it is quietly supporting your immune system and feeding your body a strong dose of antioxidants, the kind that help protect your cells from the oxidative wear that stress and a hard week pile on.
The tonic side: energy, heart and balance
Reishi has a long traditional history as a whole-body tonic. It is associated with easing the severity of chronic fatigue and lifting flagging energy over time, and with supporting healthy blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol as part of a cared-for cardiovascular system. It is not a quick fix for any of these, it is the sort of steady daily support a herbalist reaches for when someone simply feels worn down.
Who tends to reach for this one
This suits the person running hot: long hours, a busy mind, and sleep that does not come as easily as it should. It is for anyone who trains hard and wants to recover better, and for those who like the idea of a traditional tonic they can take daily to feel more balanced and less frazzled. If your body could use a moment to catch its breath, this is built for that.
How to take it, and the alcohol question
Shake it, then take one full dropper, once a day to keep things steady or up to three times when you want more, holding it under the tongue for about thirty seconds or adding it to a little water. It contains 20% alcohol, which is what carries the extract; if you would rather avoid the ethanol, stir the drops into a hot drink and let it stand a minute or two to evaporate before you sip. A word of care: because Reishi can thin the blood, speak to your practitioner first if you are on any medication.
Why it carries her name
Dr. Hester van der Merwe formulates this the honest way, a full-spectrum double extract of a single mushroom in a clean food-grade base, made in small South African batches. No fillers, no padding, nothing added to stretch the bottle further. It is the Reishi she would give one of her own patients who needed to find their balance again.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
How do I use this tincture?
Shake it well, then take one full dropper, once a day to keep things steady or up to three times a day when you want more. Hold it in your mouth for about thirty seconds before swallowing, or add it to a glass of water. Many people take their last dose in the evening for its calming side.
What does "double extract" mean here?
Reishi holds its useful compounds in two forms: some come free in alcohol, others only in hot water. A double extract uses both, so you get the full spectrum rather than half. It is the slower, more thorough way to make a mushroom tincture, and the difference is in the bottle.
Will it make me drowsy during the day?
Most people find it calming rather than sedating, so a daytime dose supports a settled, balanced feeling rather than knocking you out. If you want its full wind-down effect, take a dose in the evening before you rest.
It says 20% alcohol. Can I avoid that?
Yes. The alcohol simply carries the extract. Stir your drops into a hot drink and let it stand for a minute or two so the ethanol evaporates before you drink it.
Are there any side effects?
Reishi is well tolerated by most people, though some notice mild, passing effects such as dryness of the mouth or throat, or an upset stomach. It can also thin the blood, so speak to your healthcare practitioner first if you take medication, particularly blood thinners, blood-pressure or diabetes medicine.
How soon will I notice anything?
Reishi is a slow-and-steady tonic rather than a quick fix. Give it a few weeks of consistent daily use to feel its full value, especially for energy and balance.
Is it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. It is fully plant based, with no fillers, artificial flavours or colours, made to the standard Dr. van der Merwe holds every Anóthen formulation to.
Who makes it?
It is formulated by Dr. Hester van der Merwe, a registered health practitioner, and made in small batches in South Africa, so you always know who stands behind what is in the bottle.
