Blue Elderberry Wild Crafted Tincture | OsoMoya

This is a tasty extract made from fresh, ripe, wild elderberries from our native elder tree in Oregon, Sambucus cerulea ("blue elder"). I harvest these berries from pristine sites in the Coast Range and the Cascades in the early autumn. Blue elderberries are very beautiful, developing a dust-like coating on their skins, like some grapes, which give them a wonderful silvery appearance. The tincture turns a very dark blue/purple (indicative of a high anthocyanin concentration) and thickens into an almost syrupy tincture after several weeks in alcohol. The color comes from anthocyanins and phenolic compounds in the skins of the fruits. These compounds are highly antioxidant, and elderberries are one of nature's richest sources

Elephant's Head Wild Crafted Tincture | OsoMoya

Elephant's Head (Pedicularis groenlandica) is a very interesting plant. Somewhat elusive, it grows in middle elevation in summer meadows in the Cascade Mountain Range of Oregon and Washington. This plant has gained the interest of herbal healers and connoisseurs around the world, not just because of its flowers' uncanny likeness to the head of an elephant, but also due to its potent and specific effects as a healing herb. Elephant's Head is hemi-parasitic on other plants in these highly specific environments, so it's almost impossible to bring into cultivation on any meaningful commercial scale. In effect, this adds another level to the mystique of the herb, since it often takes a trained wildcrafter to find stands large enough to harvest without causing any appreciable damage to these ecosystems year after year. For these reasons - medicinal value, relative scarcity, and resistance to cultivation - Elephant's Head is a concern for many wildcrafters, herbalists, botanists, and ecologists, as being in a possibly precarious position in the future (climate change is also a factor).

Oregon Reishi Wild Crafted Mushroom Tincture | OsoMoya

Medicinal mushrooms have been used as very important tonic medicines for centuries in Asian healing modalities. There are many of these mushrooms (Maitake, Turkey Tail, Lion's Mane, to name only a few), and it is easy to get lost in their power and beauty. Reishi, however, is often given the title, "King of the Mushrooms," which is surely saying a lot, considering the company it keeps. These mushrooms have a very long history of reverence and appreciation, and have even been endowed mystical and spiritual qualities. The term Reishi is used commonly to describe several species in the genus Ganoderma. There's much doubt and debate about what to call different reishi mushrooms found around the world. Are they all just different phenotypic expressions of the same highly variable G. lucidum species? In any case, what we call "Oregon Reishi" is a common Pacific Northwest fungus variously termed Ganoderma oregonense, G. tsugae, G. lucidum or G. resinaceum, depending on who's doing the identification
