A deep dive into the mushrooms and herbs in our Brave Tinctures

Our new Brave Tinctures are born from a desire to rekindle a lost connection - to the power of nature and the voice of our inner wisdom.

Blending the time-honored power of plants and mushrooms into potent daily elixirs, these tinctures are your daily allies for clarity, resilience, and radiance.

They’re inspired by the original healers (often women) who instinctively turned to the land for support. From kitchen gardens to forest walks, they knew which herbs to reach for in times of need. In that same spirit, Brave Tinctures are made to be part of your everyday rituals - just as our ancestors would brew a tea, crush fresh herbs, or infuse a tonic.

Each formula features a synergy of functional mushrooms and hand-harvested herbs, grown on an organic, biodynamic farm where the soil is nurtured as a living system. The result is a pure, potent extract, rooted in regenerative practices and crafted with care.

We chose mushrooms for their remarkable intelligence - nature’s quiet communicators, connectors, and protectors. Paired with potent, traditional herbs that have evolved in harmony with the human body, these tinctures celebrate the wisdom of the natural world - and the power of remembering what we already know.

Brave Clarity  - Crafted to enhance mental focus and awaken inner stillness

• Lion’s Mane is the wise guardian of this blend - a nootropic mushroom long celebrated in ancient medicine for enhancing memory and insight. Now backed by science for its role in supporting nerve growth and neuroplasticity, Lion’s Mane helps the mind stay adaptable and alert.

• Cordyceps brings an energising edge - originally discovered by yak herders high in the Himalayas. This rare fungus is known to support cellular energy and oxygen use, helping to fuel stamina and mental endurance. 

• Among the herbs, Gotu Kola holds a special place as a botanical for enlightenment. Traditionally used in both Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, it can help to soothe the nervous system while sharpening mental focus. Known to enhance blood flow and support brain cell repair, it’s a deeply regenerative plant for the mind.

• Rosemary and Sage complete the blend - aromatic allies with ancient reputations for memory and mental acuity. From Shakespeare to ancient Greece, rosemary has been called upon for remembrance, while sage has long been linked to wisdom. Today, both are known to offer antioxidant protection for the brain and gentle support for clarity and recall.

Brave Immunity - Crafted to help strengthen your natural resilience and support daily immune harmony.

• Shiitake and Maitake mushrooms take the lead - both cherished in Traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for thousands of years. Rich in beta-glucans, these fungi help to train and fine-tune the immune system, supporting a balanced and intelligent response. Maitake also delivers nourishing prebiotics to the gut - the true home of immunity.

• Elderberry adds a burst of deep purple potency. This ancient berry has long been used to help fend off seasonal bugs and bring vitality back into the system. Its rich antioxidant profile supports the body's frontline defence, especially during times of stress or change.

• Then there’s Thyme and Ginger - warming, aromatic herbs with a long-standing role in respiratory and immune health. Thyme is rich in natural antimicrobial compounds and has been used for centuries to ease coughs and clear congestion. Ginger stokes internal fire, encouraging circulation and digestive health while supporting the immune system from the ground up.

Brave Glow - a luminous blend designed to nourish skin from within 

• Tremella, often called the ‘beauty mushroom’, is the moisture magnet of this blend. Valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its hydrating and youth-preserving properties, its unique polysaccharides can hold up to 500 times their weight in water, helping skin retain plumpness and elasticity.

• Chaga, the protective birch-dwelling mushroom, brings potent antioxidant power. Rich in polyphenols and melanin, Chaga supports skin integrity and helps defend against the oxidative stress that can contribute to premature aging.

• Among the botanicals, Nettle is a quiet powerhouse - nutrient-rich and deeply detoxifying. Traditionally used to support skin health, it helps clear stagnation and contributes to a clearer complexion.

• Bilberry, a wild berry rich in anthocyanins, supports microcirculation - encouraging better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells. Its antioxidant compounds help protect the skin’s collagen structure and brighten overall tone.

A return to nature

Brave Tinctures invite you to slow down and reconnect with the deep wisdom that lives in both the natural world and within you.
