Thanks for the delightful writings. When can we expect a few recipes on how to use these lovely flowers of the forest? Next time I go out hunting some pine rings, I’ll be sure to keep an eye of for Turkey Tails. These photos will help me recognise them.
Hi Santhan, will try and put our “Superhero Tea” recipe up in the next few days – so keep checking in or subscribe to our blog feed. Turkey Tail is such an awesome mushroom – great to drink in tea every day or take as tincture – will hopefully make a video about tincture-making soon too 🙂
Aloha! I’m living close to a lovely pine forest. I’d love to harvest some pollen if I’m still here in spring. How do I do that? I’m pining for pollen 🙂
Hi Santhan, harvesting in the pollen is all in the timing – flowers open and close again over a very short period of time, so you need to keep an eye on those trees! You need to catch the flower when all of the little “buds” are fully open and it is pale yellow from being covered with pollen. Hard to describe, so again, we will do a video once we have started harvesting here – which is very soon. You then remove the little buds into a plastic bag (best not to harvest on a windy day – you will end up with more pollen on you than in the bag!). These whole buds can then be placed into a jar and covered with alcohol or you can extract just the pollen powder from them first by using a pollen extractor. You need to leave the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, and shake it daily. You can then add it like that to hot or cold water or hot herbal tea. Hot water or tea will evaporate most of the alcohol content, if that is a concern for you. Oh yes, it tastes DELICIOUS by the way! Keep your eye out for the video 🙂
Hi Alex, thanks for your enquiry – will email you a pricelist shortly. Passion flower tincture will be a few weeks still but I will make a note to let you know as soon as it is available. Passion flower tincture is used to combat estrogen dominance in the body. It does this by stopping DHEA, testosterone and progesterone “flipping over” into the type of estrogen that can cause breast, ovarian, prostate and testicular cancers in the body. Estrogen dominance can cause all sorts of other chaos in the body too including anxiety, depression, mood swings, fibroids, fibrocystic breasts/breast tenderness, chronic fatigue, infertility, eating disorders, insomnia and weight gain to name some of the most common symptoms. There are other ways of dealing with estrogen dominance too which I am happy to share with you if you would like to know more. I’ll also write a detailed blog on this in the near future.
HI …This is really the most amazing discovery…..for one specific reason, and that is that I practically “grew up” I newlands forest and as kids we used to find the Reishi, and look at it ..smell it look under the..cuz they look so wise…sit next to them…almost talk to them and mostly play amazing games around them…yes they have an ancient wisdom in their very being and so very clearly as children we felt it and responded likewise. I so agree that they seem to have absorbed the very “being’ of the forest…and exude that …SO now I discover that they have great healing properties…wow. and thankyou for that. I will def go and get myself some of the tincture…AND im still talking to them.haha.
Thanks for getting in touch – and so sorry for such a late reply – have only seen your comment now! Unfortunately pine pollen tincture is not yet available commercially in South Africa as far as we know. We would love to be able to supply you but unfortunately we have discovered that the collection of pine pollen in order to make tinctures is just not commercially viable. It is so time-consuming and the only way it can be done is by hand – and we just don’t have enough of them to make this possible! It’s also only ready to harvest for a few days per year – making it very tricky as the harvest time is so short – so without a huge team of people you can only get to so many trees in those few days. Our best advice to you would be to collect your own pine pollen – the season tends to be between mid-end July to mid-end September (although this may vary depending on where in South Africa you are – we’re in the Western Cape) – and make your own tincture. If you look on You Tube you will be able to find videos showing you how this is done (collection and tincture-making process). Hope this helps – and sorry for delay once again! 🙂 Juliet
My name is Zuko, I’m from South Africa. I first was in a desperate search for a Pine Pollen tincture. I exhausted my funds in Telephone bills and fake tinctures, looking for this super food. I placed an order for two tinctures from Raw Forest Foods, an online shop from USA (Very expensive). I never received it and they are still assisting with regards to that even today.
Where can I get a Pine Pollen Tincture people?
Please help.

It’s also only ready to harvest for a few days per year – making it very tricky as the harvest time is so short – so without a huge team of people you can only get to so many trees in those few days. All of these reasons are probably why you were charged the price you were for the pine pollen you ordered from the States.

Dear folks!
Looks like your doing a great job spreading natural medicinals into the world; I love to do that too considering that’s what people currently desperately need.
Please put me on your subscribe list; am always curious concerning Botanicals and Cacao alchemy!
Blessings & succes with your endeavors; it’s much appreciated ; ))

Found two Reishi in my back garden a year ago – one growing on a submerged plum stump (we cut it down because the fruit were always wormed) and the other seems to spring up from the ground. I have harvested 5 large and 2 small ones to date. No sure why I was blessed with this bounty. Checked the web – many comments are that it is not safe to take if you have high blood pressure and are on medication – another bit of advice is that you need to supplement with vitamin C – then I found your column.
You have profound knowledge on the subject but does one size fit all individuals?
My question: is there a Reishi practioner one can face to face consult on dosage, when do you stop taking prescribed meds etc??
Thanks for a most interesting read
Emile
Hi Emile, thanks for your message. Great to hear you have found Reishi in your garden… or, rather, that it found you! It really is such a superior health tonic and everyone can benefit from taking it daily – regardless of age or medical condition. It would not be considered a Superior Tonic Herb (in fact, the Number 1 Superior Tonic Herb) unless it were this safe. But Reishi definitely does lower blood pressure – so it would be wise to wean yourself off your blood pressure meds slowly if you wish to take Reishi on a daily basis. I am not a medical doctor so cannot advise a protocol for doing this – so for advice on meds dosage I can recommend a friend of mine – Dr Jon Morley, who is an incredible integrative medicine doctor. That means he is conventionally trained as a GP but also integrates natural medicine into his treatment protocols. And he is a big fan of Reishi too! He is based in George, on the Garden Route – but if this is too far for you then perhaps he can help via Skype/phone consultation. His telephone number is 044-8890119. I hope this helps and wish you all the best for making the transition to this incredible healing herb! 🙂 Juliet
Many thanks, have just returned from a break and will contact the good doctor soon. It seems that the rain plays a big part in the Reishi’s size, I have two more… would love to meet you as well… one day. So much delight, so little time!
Hi Julia, thanks for getting in touch… am just setting up a new newsletter subscription service now – should be up and running in a couple of days’ time, when I will send you a link asking you to subscribe (you need to do this in order to confirm your subscription from your email address). Will be in touch very soon! 🙂 Juliet
Hi Shane, thanks for making contact. And apologies to you (and everyone else!) for taking so long to get our Sign-Up Offer up and running again. We’re working on it and will try and get it finished within the next couple of weeks. At that time we will add your email address – then you will just have to confirm this by replying to the sign-up email that will be sent to you. Thanks for your patience, will be in touch soon! 🙂 Juliet
Hi Roslyne, if you vist our Outlets page you should be able to find an outlet near you. Otherwise, please call Superfoods, our distributor in SA, to ask them for the nearest outlet that is convenient for you. Let me know if you need any more assistance! Thanks! 🙂 Juliet
I recently bought this product and have started to use it. I am however not sure how often this should be used in order to hopefully help prevent cancer. The dosage is given as 1 – 3 droplets. Is this per day? Or should it be used more than once per day? I would really appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction
Hi Delano, thanks for getting in touch. Turkey Tail should be used in doses of 1-3 droppersful per day (a dropperful is simply one squeeze of the dropper in the liquid to fill it, then all of that liquid directly into your mouth or into water). If you do feel to use more, however, then go ahead… It shouldn’t be necessary to take more (unless possibly when treating cancer) but Turkey Tail is an adaptogen – it adapts itself to your body’s specific needs – so it’s not possible to overdose on it either. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any more info 🙂 Juliet
Hi
I have a very tiny health store in Thabazimbi limpopo and I came across your product..please could I have a pricelist to possibly stock in my shop..
Thank you
Hi Cally, thanks for getting in touch. All of our distribution is covered by Soaring Free Superfoods in Cape Town. I have forwarded your email address to Werner Daniel, their National Sales Manager, and have copied you in on that email. I am sure he will be in touch very soon. Thanks again 🙂 J
I also have the same problem. The directions are not clear.
By full dropper I assume, I must fill the whole dropper with the medicine and then mix with water or herbal tea.
But how much water or herbal tea, a cup?
So the way I take it, i put 3 full droppers in half a cup of tea .
I would like to know if I can do this twice a day, morning and evening.
I am a cancer patient
Hi Lulu, thanks for getting in touch. Turkey Tail should be used in doses of 1-3 droppersful per day (a dropperful is simply one squeeze of the dropper, which gives a measured dose for the size dropper we use – 1ml per squeeze – then take liquid directly into your mouth or put into water). The dosage you are using is fine – as I mentioned in the reply to Delano below, Turkey Tail is an adaptogen – it adapts itself to your body’s specific needs – so it’s not possible to overdose on it either. Hope this clarifies things for you – but do let me know if you need any further info. Thanks Lulu! 🙂 Juliet
Good day, I was hoping you could explain the dose to me – it says two-three ‘droppers-full’ – does that mean the whole actual ‘tube’ ‘cyclinder’ filled and pressed. Or 2-3 ‘drops’ is all ?
Hi Brett – A dropperful is simply one squeeze of the dropper, which gives a measured dose for the size dropper we use – 1ml per squeeze – then take liquid directly into your mouth or put into water. Thanks! 🙂
Hi
I dont know of any indigenous sp of Ganoderma to naturally occur anywhere in South Africa. Is this a fact or would I be imagining I saw some in the wild?
Hi Derrek, Ganoderma applanatum (Ancient Reishi) is prolific throughout SA forests and Ganoderma lucidum (Red Reishi) occurs too, albeit more rarely. Both grow on hardwood trees. There are numerous photographs of both throughout this site and on our Instagram and Facebook pages – all taken within South Africa. So no, I certainly don’t think it was your imagination!!!

Hi, I would like to find out the price of Superhero Immune-Boosting tea mix and the Passion Flower Tinctur? how we can place an order.
Look forward to your reply,
Kind regards, Denise
Hi Dylan, thanks for getting in touch. This product is not a 95% extract – it’s a 40% extract. We make this tincture and that is the strength of alcohol we use. Hope this helps! Juliet 🙂
If your product is 50 ml, assuming that 1 ml = 1 g, does that mean that there is 12,5 grams of turkey tail in a bottle; or does it mean that there is 200 grams?
Asking because I am trying to dose this product in accordance to the recommendations prescribed in the medical literature.
Hi Damon, thanks for getting in touch. 1:4 means that the tincture is concentrated in the proportion of 1 part menstruum (plant material) to 4 parts liquid (alcohol & water combined). 1ml pure water weighs 1g – with other liquids it depends on how dense the liquid is. But the liquid part of the tincture is weighed each time and the menstruum added accordingly. In this case, alcohol weighs slightly less than water, So if you break it down per bottle, you would actually be looking at approximately 11.5g turkey tail to per 50ml alcohol/water. And one squeeze of the dropper draws 1ml tincture up into the pipette (ie there are 50 doses per bottle). Hope this helps clarify! 🙂
I have stage 4 breast cancer and hav just discovered your Turkey Tail Tincture.
I believe a therapeutic dose needs to be quite high. What dosage would you recommend..and what is the maximum I can take?
Hi Carol, thank you for getting in touch. I would actually recommend that you order our Superhero Immune-Boosting Tea Mix and drink as many cups of that per day as possible. This tea contains turkey tail as well – and is deeply rejuvenating, nourishing and protective. As such, it should be the cornerstone of any good health protocol in my opinion. In addition I would take 1-3 droppers of the turkey tail tincture in the tea as often as you can. One bottle contains 50ml = 50 droppers of tincture – or we can supply you with a 500ml bottle of it for a discounted bulk price. I will email you prices and we can take it from there. Juliet xx
Hi. My dig was diagnosed with TCC bladder cancer recently. I’m keen to use your Turkey Tail tincture for him. Do many folk use on dogs? If so what dosage should I give him (12.3 kgs) and should I dilute, add to food? Any assistance would be grateful. Thank you.
Hi Alison, thanks for getting in touch. Turkey tail tincture can be taken by dogs, but I would also recommend you give it to him with our Superhero Immune-Boosting Tea Mix. This will dilute the alcohol as well as the taste (but the tincture provides other benefits, so I would still recommend you do both). This tea not only provides turkey tail but also another powerful immune-boosting mushroom – ancient reishi. It is such an outstanding health tea and I recommend it as the foundation of any healing protocol as well as an amazing health maintenance product too. I would recommend adding a cup of this to your dog’s food as often as he is fed – and if he will drink some in his water too, then even better. The tea is safe to drink in large quantities (and absolutely awesome for humans too – as well as delicious!) Hope this info helps – but do let me know if you need any further assistance. Wishing you all and your doggie all the best x
I have just received the superhero immune boosting tea and just had a question on making it.
It says to make the whole bag at once and drink everyday? How long can you keep it for in the pot?
I live alone so would it be more beneficial to make smaller batches at once?
Hi Jessica – the best way to make this tea is to boil it all up together and then keep the pot in the fridge, just taking out small quantities to heat up when you need it. If you want to divide the bag into smaller sections then you can – but you might end up with a tea that is not as balanced due to ingredient distribution. Hope this helps – enjoy your tea! Juliet xx
Hi Juliet,
Thank you for getting back to me with that info. How long will the tea stay good for in the fridge in a pot until it goes bad/off? (if it does)
Thanks so much, I have purchased your tea and brought it to Zimbabwe and we are all very excited to have it here.
Best,
Jess
Hi Jess, you are most welcome 🙂 The tea should stay good in the fridge for a month – if it starts to go off, you will notice mould on the top of it – but this is very unlikely if it is kept constantly refrigerated. Lovely to know this tea is in Zim – it really is such a nutritious powerhouse of a drink, a solid cornerstone of any good health regimen – and super delicious too 🙂 Enjoy!! xx
Yes, eating monkeys makes us go bananas!
Thanks for the delightful writings. When can we expect a few recipes on how to use these lovely flowers of the forest? Next time I go out hunting some pine rings, I’ll be sure to keep an eye of for Turkey Tails. These photos will help me recognise them.

I’m interested in the nettle root tincture, is there anyway to see if it the product is a 95% extract ?
Hi Dylan, thanks for getting in touch. This product is not a 95% extract – it’s a 40% extract. We make this tincture and that is the strength of alcohol we use. Hope this helps! Juliet 🙂

Hi,
I don’t understand what the 1:4 ratio means.
If your product is 50 ml, assuming that 1 ml = 1 g, does that mean that there is 12,5 grams of turkey tail in a bottle; or does it mean that there is 200 grams?
Asking because I am trying to dose this product in accordance to the recommendations prescribed in the medical literature.
Thank you,
Damon
Hi Damon, thanks for getting in touch. 1:4 means that the tincture is concentrated in the proportion of 1 part menstruum (plant material) to 4 parts liquid (alcohol & water combined). 1ml pure water weighs 1g – with other liquids it depends on how dense the liquid is. But the liquid part of the tincture is weighed each time and the menstruum added accordingly. In this case, alcohol weighs slightly less than water, So if you break it down per bottle, you would actually be looking at approximately 11.5g turkey tail to per 50ml alcohol/water. And one squeeze of the dropper draws 1ml tincture up into the pipette (ie there are 50 doses per bottle). Hope this helps clarify! 🙂
I have stage 4 breast cancer and hav just discovered your Turkey Tail Tincture.
I believe a therapeutic dose needs to be quite high. What dosage would you recommend..and what is the maximum I can take?
Hi Carol, thank you for getting in touch. I would actually recommend that you order our Superhero Immune-Boosting Tea Mix and drink as many cups of that per day as possible. This tea contains turkey tail as well – and is deeply rejuvenating, nourishing and protective. As such, it should be the cornerstone of any good health protocol in my opinion. In addition I would take 1-3 droppers of the turkey tail tincture in the tea as often as you can. One bottle contains 50ml = 50 droppers of tincture – or we can supply you with a 500ml bottle of it for a discounted bulk price. I will email you prices and we can take it from there. Juliet xx
Hi. My dig was diagnosed with TCC bladder cancer recently. I’m keen to use your Turkey Tail tincture for him. Do many folk use on dogs? If so what dosage should I give him (12.3 kgs) and should I dilute, add to food? Any assistance would be grateful. Thank you.
Hi Alison, thanks for getting in touch. Turkey tail tincture can be taken by dogs, but I would also recommend you give it to him with our Superhero Immune-Boosting Tea Mix. This will dilute the alcohol as well as the taste (but the tincture provides other benefits, so I would still recommend you do both). This tea not only provides turkey tail but also another powerful immune-boosting mushroom – ancient reishi. It is such an outstanding health tea and I recommend it as the foundation of any healing protocol as well as an amazing health maintenance product too. I would recommend adding a cup of this to your dog’s food as often as he is fed – and if he will drink some in his water too, then even better. The tea is safe to drink in large quantities (and absolutely awesome for humans too – as well as delicious!) Hope this info helps – but do let me know if you need any further assistance. Wishing you all and your doggie all the best x
Hi there,
I have just received the superhero immune boosting tea and just had a question on making it.
It says to make the whole bag at once and drink everyday? How long can you keep it for in the pot?
I live alone so would it be more beneficial to make smaller batches at once?
Thanks so much,
Hi Jessica – the best way to make this tea is to boil it all up together and then keep the pot in the fridge, just taking out small quantities to heat up when you need it. If you want to divide the bag into smaller sections then you can – but you might end up with a tea that is not as balanced due to ingredient distribution. Hope this helps – enjoy your tea! Juliet xx
Hi Juliet,
Thank you for getting back to me with that info. How long will the tea stay good for in the fridge in a pot until it goes bad/off? (if it does)
Thanks so much, I have purchased your tea and brought it to Zimbabwe and we are all very excited to have it here.
Best,
Jess
Hi Jess, you are most welcome 🙂 The tea should stay good in the fridge for a month – if it starts to go off, you will notice mould on the top of it – but this is very unlikely if it is kept constantly refrigerated. Lovely to know this tea is in Zim – it really is such a nutritious powerhouse of a drink, a solid cornerstone of any good health regimen – and super delicious too 🙂 Enjoy!! xx
