Dedicated to Purity and Potency

Verified Purity

The Cintamani Apothecary was born from the desire to offer our clients the highest quality tonic herbal extracts available.  We call our extracts Beyond Organic because they are produced utilizing practices that exceed current "Organic" Standards. Many of our Chinese Tonics are considered Tao Di, or grown in "the original way" they have been cultivated for centuries. Our herbal extracts are laboratory tested (and have been 3rd party verified) to ensure that they are free of poisons, heavy metals, or other contaminants; and we are happy to provide Certificates of Analysis upon request. As Herbalists with a wellness practice, we need to provide our clients pure and potent tonics that will be completely beneficial, without adverse effects from pollutants, excipients, nor fillers.  The herbs we purvey are the same herbs we proudly enjoy and share with our family on a daily basis.

 

This extract company was created out of a necessity for all people to have access to premium grade, verifiably clean, holistically nourishing tonic herbal extracts.

Freshness Guaranteed

When you purchase Cintamani Tonics you can have full confidence that all our extracts and herbs are fresh, direct-sourced from the producer, and will maintain potency for years in our airtight jars.  We do not purchase these herbs from a storage warehouse.  We contract the producers in China and India to craft the extracts fresh-to-order in small batches specifically for Cintamani Tonics.  The organic cooperatives will then source the raw material and create the tonic extracts.  Once the processing is complete, the herbs are shipped directly to Cintamani.  This allows for ultimate freshness that is not generally available. For this reason, our herbal extracts can be shelved in their light-tight, air-tight jars and maintain potency and efficacy for many years. Our Herbal Extracts are wonderfully versatile for a variety of herbal applications and long-term storage options.

​

Therapeutic Potency

Cintamani Tonics specializes in 10:1 powdered extracts and dual extracts created in North America, China, and India.  "10:1" describes the concentration level of the extract ~ meaning our extracts are 10 times more powerful than raw herb powders, delivering therapeutic dosages and benefits. Some herbs naturally coalesce in different concentrations, like 5:1 or 6:1. This means that the herb is so concentrated in the active constituents, it only takes 6 kilos of the raw material to produce 1 kilo of the Herbal Extract. This is more common in herbs that are mostly water-soluble like berries. However, woody herbs like Eucommia may require 10x more raw material to produce 1 kilo of extract.

 

Enhanced Quality and Value

In the long run, these extracts tend to be significantly more cost effective than herb powders, and also more effective in their life-enhancing, therapeutic actions. Our Medicinal Mushroom line features strictly pure fruiting body extracts to convey the full intelligence of the mature mushroom. No raw mushroom or mycelium powders here! And our mushroom extracts are standardized to contain high concentrations of polysaccharides and beta-glucans, delivering maximum potency and benefits. Additionally, our Hydroethanolic Dual Extracts offer water and alcohol soluble medicinal constituents featuring triterpenes, polyphenols, and other essential oils.

 

Expert Herbalists and Extract Makers

We have over 15 years of experience consulting with clients, crafting small-batch herbal extracts, and supporting others to find balanced health with the wisdom of plants. In 2017, we started harvesting and extracting our unique low-temperature-purified Wild American Shilajit, the first of its kind available online.  Wild American Shilajit is a full spectrum fulvic and ionic trace mineral compound, an ancient earthen essence that can help potentiate the effects of all our other products. 

​

Water Soluble Powdered Extracts

Most of our Tonic Extracts are Powdered Extracts, which are essentially, instant tea powders that offer great versatility and ease of consumption. Simply add a teaspoon to hot water and you have a perfectly concentrated tea. Or blend the extracts into your favorite foods, encapsulate, or formulate. And since there are no fillers and no excipients, the herbs are super easy to absorb and digest. Simply enjoy the pure and potent plant wisdom.

Commitment to Sustainability

We aim to provide clean and pure extracts, not just because they are better for us; organic and traditional farming practices are also better for the environment. Without the need for toxic pesticides nor extractive fertilizers, the Tao Di herbs we choose offer a pure expression of vital life force, with higher concentrations of beneficial compounds. We purchase herbs from small family farmers who have have honed their traditional cultivation practices over generations, providing consistently exceptional quality & purity. Supporting these small farmers is a crucial piece of Cintamani's sourcing ethos.
