It is a true gift to observe these blends produce profound results in the lives of others, and the beneficial impact has deeply encouraged me to continue avidly pursuing this work. Over the years I have noticed recurring threads of health challenges that people request I formulate for. After seeing many of my blends truly make a difference, I decided to offer them to the general public. I have chosen to cover some the the main issues that I see people faced with. Low Immunity, Anxiety, and Overall Depletion. ​ Each of the Cintamani Formulations are created using Tao Di and organically grown herbs, which have been third party laboratory tested to ensure that they are absolutely, positively, verifiably clean. The Herbal Extracts within the formulas are powdered 10:1 Hot Water Extracts, and powdered Dual Extracts which can be rehydrated into tea by adding 1/4 to 1 teaspoon directly into 8 oz warm water. They can also be encapsulated, mixed into foods and smoothies. These tonic elixirs are intended to produce transformational results, and therefore contain high concentrations of the most potent tonic herbs of the Chinese and Ayurvedic Traditions. These herbs are extremely powerful, and a little bit goes a very long way. We truly hope and pray that these herbal formulas produce significant and positive results in your life, and that of your loved ones. ​ ~ DJ Ankenbrandt ​

Shilajit Solution + Fortify ༄ Ultimate Immunity Combo Regular Price $110.00 Sale Price $104.50 American Shilajit One of the Greatest Discoveries in Modern American Herbalism Shilajit is a traditional tonic of India, employed as a panacea by Ayurvedic and Tibetan Medicine practitioners for over 2,600 years. Shilajit is known the world over by many names, including Mineral Resin, Rock Essence, Mumijo, Brakshun, Brag-zhun, and Asphaltum punjabianum (in Latin). It is a Mineral Pitch or Resin found oozing from rocks of high elevation mountain ranges, often vaulted out of ancient sea beds through compression and subduction. Shilajit has been found in many locations globally, including most recently, the Americas. And the majority of Shilajit on the global market is currently exported from the Himalayas. ​ Since Shilajit has been used for thousands of years in India, it's popularity throughout the Himalayas has unfortunately led to over-harvesting practices, lower quality products and potential contamination. For this reason, when we first began searching for Shilajit to share with our Cintamani Tonics clients in 2015, we had a hard time finding sources that met our strict quality standards. As if by divine grace, in 2016 a close friend introduced us to our first taste of wild harvested and purified American Shilajit. We thought, "this must be one of the greatest discoveries in modern American herbalism!" We were blown away by the flavor, its adaptogenic benefits, and instantly loved the idea of bringing this unique American Mineral Resin to market. So we embarked on a journey to build the right team and systems to produce the first (and purist) American harvested Shilajit product on the market. In 2017 we launched our first Shilajit solution, which was the only American harvested Shilajit solution available at the time. It was received with instant acclaim. However, we knew we could make it even better. During our research & development phase, we integrated ancient & advanced Alchemical techniques & laboratory equipment to design unique low-temperature refinement processes utilizing elemental principles. After two years of rigorous work, we had perfected our wildcrafting techniques & purification systems, producing a uniquely potent & authentically wild-harvested American Shilajit of unparalleled purity. "During our research & development phase, we integrated ancient & advanced Alchemical techniques & laboratory equipment to design unique low-temperature refinement processes utilizing elemental principles." ​ We launched our low-temperature purified Wild American Shilajit Resin and Wild American Shilajit Solution online to a global audience in June of 2019. Since then, our clients have consistently raved about it, shared their testimonials , and have kept coming back for more. We slowly grew a following via word of mouth, and now we are proud to be the primary wholesaler of Wild American Shilajit worldwide. It's been a serious labor of love to steward this indigenous American mineral essence out into the world. And we couldn't have done it without our dedication to God , one another, support from our family, and our extended Cintamani Tonics framily (you know who you are) . We are honored and grateful for the chance to share this precious earthen essence with you. And it is our greatest wish that this Cintamani stone of ancient plant wisdom help you fulfill your greatest wish for vital health and happiness. "I was very impressed by the purity and efficacy of this American Shilajit, and in my opinion it far exceeds most all that I’ve tried. I highly recommend this mountain resin for its tonifying actions and pristine quality." ~ Rehmannia Dean Thomas author of Shilajit: The Resin of Life Shilajit in Ayurveda Shilajit in Ayurvedic Medicine Shilajit is a rare phytocomplex mineral pitch that has been recognized as a powerful medicine for thousands of years, and in the Ayurvedic tradition it is believed to be a complete panacea (cure all). This black plant pitch is considered a supreme "Rasayana" in the Ayurvedic herbal tradition, meaning it's a rejuvenating tonic. Today it's recognized by herbalists and scientists as one of the 8 primary authentic adaptogens in existence. Revered for it's nootropic qualities, Shilajit is also known as an Ayurvedic "Medyha Rasayana," meaning "rejuvenator of intellect." Shilajit is about as rare as uranium, and is found at high elevations within very old mountain ranges. It is a black tar-like substance that exudes from steep rocks at certain times of the year, and must be expertly purified in order to access the profound medicinal constituents it offers. Because it offers such a broad range of trace minerals and bioactive compounds, we like to think of it as Mother Earth's own multivitamin. What is this unique substance made of? Though many theories have been postulated, most scientists agree that Shilajit and its raw mountain mineral pitch resins are distinct from mineral tar in that they are from wholly herbaceous, organic origins (water-soluble compounds, not hydrocarbons). The geological origins of Shilajit have not been widely researched. However, recent studies on Eurasian deposits revealed that this water soluble humic substance seeps from deposits of organic material deposited in the Triassic strata (rocks that are estimated to be 200 to 250 million years old). The organic matter in Shilajit is thought to naturally filter through permeable rocks until it reaches an impermeable rock layer and then seeps out pores and fissures, collecting only where tectonic movements have allowed for exposure and exudation. This prehistoric plant life has been fully broken down and humified within layers of rock to render a uniquely bioavailable ionic mineral and Fulvic/Humic acid combination. Fulvic and Humic acids are powerful antioxidants and a crucial part of soil health, acting as large-chain transporter molecules delivering micronutrients and trace minerals directly into the cells of plants. When Fulvic Acid combines with the broad spectrum ionic minerals and amino acids found in Shilajit, a proportionate perfection of beneficial compounds synergistically absorb into and nourish the human body in a profound and unrivaled way! There is literally no other substance like it in existence, and due to the lengthy process of its creation and its ecological rarity, we must use it responsibly to ensure it is available for future generations. What kind of health benefits is Shilajit known for? While we make no health claims about our products, Shilajit has been safely used for thousands of years for a variety of benefits. It is considered a prime adaptogen with harmonizing and regulating properties, providing the body with a comprehensive profile of bioavailable ionic minerals (85 or more), plus amino acids, and a host of antioxidants including fulvic and humic acids.

The Wish Fulfilling Jewel of Plant Wisdom 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 these herbs are very fresh and will maintain potency for a significant amount of time. We do not purchase these herbs from a warehouse in the US, China, or India. 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 for many years in their light-tight, air-tight containers and maintain potency and efficacy. ​ Therapeutic Potency Cintamani Tonics exclusively carries 10:1 (or stronger) 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. 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 mycelium powders here! And all our mushroom extracts are standardized to contain at least 30% polysaccharides, delivering verifiable potency for maximum benefit. And our Hydroethanolic Dual Extracts offer a greater spectrum of medicinal constituents. Plus, our unique low-temperature-purified Wild American Shilajit products offer full spectrum fulvic and ionic minerals that can help potentiate the effects of all our other products. ​ Water Soluble Powdered Extracts Most of the extractions are created with a hot water method. Essentially, a very large and concentrated tea is brewed using giant pressure cookers. Many of the tonic herbs are roots or barks, and need to be cooked to allow the specific beneficial compounds to be drawn out from the woody fiber. This herb fiber is then removed from the tea, and all of the water is evaporated, leaving behind the purely water-soluble components of the herbs in powder form. Our Dual Extracted Mushrooms are taken through a second extraction in which the mushroom fruits are tinctured in organic grain alcohol, the alcohol and water solutions are combined, and the solvents are evaporated, creating a broad spectrum powdered dual extract. These extracts are basically 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 nor excipients, the herbs are super easy to absorb and digest. ​ See what our Clients have to say... Read the Testimonials Custom Formulations expertly handcrafted personalized formulas are tailored to your unique needs... learn more ... 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. ​ ​ Sustainable Packaging We strive towards Zero Waste. We choose recyclable & biodegradable materials wherever possible. Powdered extracts are sold in recyclable amber glass jars with recyclable metal lids. We use gold foil & paper seals instead of plastic jar seals for tamper evidence. Shilajit products are sold in reusable / recyclable miron glass (lids are not recyclable). Orders are wrapped in 100% recycled kraft paper. Shipping materials include 100% recycled boxes & labels, as well as biodegradable padding & mailers.

Herbalist Services Chat with an Herbalist Orde r a Custom Formula Book a Consultation Welcome to The Cintamani Tonic Apothecary! My name is DJ Ankenbrandt, and our family is very pleased that you have made it here. Thank you for taking the time to learn about what we offer. I've personally been incredibly fortunate to work with the life promoting qualities of plants for over 20 years. Throughout this time, I've observed profound transformation occur in many people's lives after integrating tonic herbs & beneficial lifestyle practices, especially when dealing with moderate to severe health concerns. These consistently positive results have been truly humbling, and have also deeply inspired me to continue studying & sharing tools & information that can assist people in finding ever enhancing levels of foundational vitality. I began my herbal consulting practice in 2010, offering individuals dietary guidance, Spagyric remedies , and strategic health plans. In time, I started formulating with Tonic Herbal Extracts, drawing on my Classical Chinese Herbal apprenticeship & training. One of the first clients that I regularly worked with received such positive results from implementing my comprehensive guidance, along with the Tonic Herbal protocol that we created, that they offered to help expand Cintamani Tonics offerings so that others could more easily access these precious life enhancing Tonics. In 2014, our dear friend Sand generously gifted us the seed money required to fund the first significant acquisition of Beyond Organic Tonic Herbal Extracts. And Cintamani Tonics Apothecary was born! ​ "I teach our clients about longevity practices, and share all the life enhancing tools & techniques that I have gathered in my personal quest to understand a truly preventative approach to health and wellness." Many of my clients discovered profound results from my Custom Formulations crafted with these super potent, Beyond Organically grown tonic herbal extracts. They repeatedly referred their friends, and offered transformative testimonials , eventually creating the need for me to offer these extracts to a larger online audience. Since founding CintamaniTonics.com , I've been incredibly humbled and grateful for the opportunity to provide these therapeutic-grade Tonics to my clients, fellow practitioners, local community, and a growing global following. I utilize all the tonics in the Cintamani Apothecary to create balanced and comprehensive Custom Herbal Formulas intended to meet the unique & specific needs of each person. My formulation methods integrate Classical Chinese Tonic Herbal techniques, along with Ayurvedic Rasayana's, Indonesian tonics, and Indigenous North American herbs. I've been drawn to all the supreme herbal remedies that are Tonic in nature and can generally be taken daily to regenerate, balance, tonify, and deeply nourish the body, mind, and spirit. The right herbs in the proper formulation can be veritable life savers, offering a deeper level of nutrition and remineralization that supports the body to heal itself. When we integrate these Tonics with a holistic diet and healthy lifestyle, we can access benevolent cycles of health that better equip us to fulfill our life's purpose. I practice & teach about these longevity techniques. My ultimate goal is to provide tools & information that can can be integrated to produce positive, lasting, and profound changes for those seeking enhanced vitality. How can I best serve you?

Testimonials ༄ Experience ༄ My experience and training is wide ranging, and contains many years of dedication to working with the life promoting qualities of plants. My initial training with preventative wellness practices began in 2006, on an organic farm. This was the beginning of my herbal studies, permaculture experience, and yoga training. From there I blossomed into the nutritional and herbal work, and have since committed my life to this path of radiant living. Being perpetually curious about ways that we can stay vibrant and healthy has brought me in touch with many different philosophies and methods devoted to longevity and holistic wellness. My current herbal practice has been deeply inspired by my apprenticeship with Rehmannia Dean Thomas, a lineage holder of The Gate of Life, and long time apprentice to Ron Teeguarden. The Gate of Life is a very unique herbal framework that is Taoist in nature, and is generally considered to be the origins of what we currently know as Chinese Medicine, particularly Classical Chinese Medicine. Believed to be over 7,000 years old, this tradition focuses mostly on the use of rare & precious Tonic Herbs, known to have profound life promoting qualities. These are considered a superior class of herbs which are very safe & effective, and are intended to be taken over long periods of time to increase vitality, promote longevity, and enhance our spiritual development. At the heart of this precious tradition is the intention to utilize these potent herbs as tools to prolong life for the attainment of wisdom, to help enhance our capacity to understand our deepest purpose, and therefore serve as a true beneficial presence in this life. ​ In my time with this dear friend and mentor I have learned much about the ancient Chinese Tonic Herbal approach, and find these methods to be simple yet incredibly profound. I owe much credit to Dean for his immense herbal wisdom & caring heart, and am honored to carry on & contribute to this unique lineage and it's teachings through my own herbal & consulting practice. Classical Chinese medicine has a significant place in my heart, and guides the way in which I work. ​ ༄ Trainings and Certifications ༄ ༄ 10 years Active Apprenticeship with Rehmannia Dean Thomas ༄ Herbal Certification Course with the Milagro School of Herbal Medicine ༄ 2-year Spagyric study with the School of Spagyric and Alchemical Arts by Al-Kemi ༄ 100 hour Anusara Yoga immersion ༄ Dancing Freedom Facilitator's Training ༄ Moringa Educators Intensive Course with Moringa For Life Testimonials Anchor "When I met DJ in March 2014, I had a respiratory problem and was curious to know if herbs could help me. I was looking for something that would actually resolve my struggle with physical activity. In the first weeks, we met once a week and DJ gave me several herbs to take. He took the time to teach me what each herb could do. The herbs also addressed the spiritual aspect. I then began to change my diet dramatically. As I did, the symptoms lessened substantially. I feel that I’ve not only resolved my struggle to breathe, but have reversed the effects of unhealthy eating and have become healthy in all aspects. Even to say that aging has reversed. DJ has a deep knowledge and respect for herbs and their forces. He has the ability and skill to source the highest quality and subsequent potency in the world of herbs. Its been 2 years since I’ve been sick with a cold or flu. In the past it would take 2 weeks recovering in bed. I have a vitality I hadn’t experienced before. The level of Energy is a driving force in my life and it feels great to share with others how DJ has helped me on this road." ༄ Sandie Witbeck ༄ Equestrian Specialist "I consulted with DJ about several health issues I have. During my consultation, DJ was very informative and sincere in his desire to help me. We developed a game plan for my major ailments, which are asthma, stress and colon issues. He customized an herbal lung tonic for my asthma and recommended liquid CBD (hemp oil) to calm my nervous system. In addition, he recommended a custom probiotic for my colon issues. I have been on this regimen for several months now and the difference is significant. Not only am I more calm and my colon issues are not as severe, but my breathing has greatly improved. Because of my asthma I have been using an oximeter to measure the level of oxygen in my system. Before I started taking the lung tonic my readings were 94-97% (98% is considered normal). A month later my oximeter readings rose to 98-100%. I feel so much better. DJ approaches healing with love and kindness and I will always be grateful to him for his help." ༄ Kris Campbell ༄ Retired Executive "Cintamani Tonic Herbs offers simply the best standardized herbal extracts I have experienced in the nearly ten years I have been involved with the natural healing realm. ​ Having tasted and tried so many high quality extracts over the years, it was a truly amazing experience to sit with DJ and have a genuinely interactive demonstration of his potent apothecary. Every offering has a life and energy of its own, and DJ provides a clear awareness and connection with this consciousness as well as to the information which helps one access the full benefits of these wondrous substances!" ༄ Haven Willis ༄ Wellness Consumer Consultant and owner of Open Source Wisdom "Working with DJ is a true delight. His ability to really listen and treat the whole person in body, mind and spirit with the herbs that are a good match is brilliant. Weaving together his extensive studies and devotion of the herbal arts with his loving presence and extremely high quality herbs, brings positive healing results. ​ I highly recommend working with DJ and his herbal medicines." ​ ༄ Rachel Weitz ༄ True Nature Shamanic Healing Arts "From the beginning, and over time working with this gentle soul, he tremendously was a true guide in inspiring me to explore many unique herbs, plants and healing practices that I never would have otherwise. ​ Introducing me to many divine nootropic & nervous system rejuvenating plants, mystical medicinal mushrooms, and fortifying foundational tonics — that immediately brought profound effects to my entire physiological integrity — especially my neurological stability & immunological intelligence." ༄ Sarn DeAngelo ༄ Tonic Treasures “I just wanted to let you know about the incredible results I’ve seen from the Spagyric medicine you made. I am feeling better than I have in years! I recently moved and couldn’t believe the amount of energy the Spagyrics gave me. I can tell it is working on my Lyme’s disease, but it’s doing so in a more gentle way than other medicines I’ve tried. I am amazed at the small amount needed for such incredible results. There is definitely something special about your methods and your abilities. I feel blessed to have found you; and very hopeful for a full recovery! Thank You!” ༄ Michelle Stanley ༄ NM "To say I am a skeptic of all natural healing would be an understatement. But after spending a year in Africa and being riddled with every digestive issue one could acquire, I turned to an all natural doctor to try to ease my constant stomach discomfort and pain. It helped for a while, but it wasn't until taking Cintamani Tonic herbs that I really feel like my digestive system is back to normal, after years of frustration and searching for answers. On top of that, my anxiety and stressed mind have been eased significantly since taking my daily herbs. I could not recommend anything better than D.J's attention to his clients needs and the amazing benefits of his supplements. To say I am satisfied would be a vast understatement, these herbs really have transformed my digestive life and the state of my anxiety! Super thankful for the benefits of Cintamani Tonics in my life." ༄ Jamie Ankenbrandt ༄ Artist & Program Director, Prodigal Pottery at Kings Home "My new friend, DJ, made a personal tonic herb blend for me. The experience of being invited into his apothecary to learn about and sample Chinese tonic herbs was very special. The powdered extracts that he uses are approximately ten times stronger than drinking a tea or taking a capsule; and they pack a noticeable punch! I feel stronger, tougher, and more vibrant. I’ve not had so much as a sniffle this long harsh winter. I simply cannot leave the house without my fortifying tonic herb drink. It makes me feel BULLETPROOF!" ༄ Valoree Gift ༄ Massage Therapist "DJ listens carefully and drew on his deep and wide background with herbs to create a formula specifically for me. I was developing a cough just like the one my mother had for years. Three days of using the herbs cleared the cough I had constantly for 2 1/2 months. Now if it recurs, I treat myself with some of his herbs for a few days and I am good again. I'm an herbalist myself, so I particularly appreciate the care which DJ brings to his work, and the high quality of his herbs." ༄ Katja Biesanz ༄ Psychotherapist & Dance Instructor " Cintamani Tonics offers such refined and potent single herbs. I have been delighted by DJ's intimate dance with each herb's unique and powerful signature. He truly is attuned to the sacredness of the Tonic Herbs. One only has to use such a small amount as the vitality is magical! I am so grateful to know I can find such quality herbs for my patients." ༄ Blair Sylvan Grey ༄ Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Elemental Integration "Thanks for being part of my wedding day Cintamani Tonics! I had been taking your blend for three months before the big day, to help with anxiety and digestive issues. The blend had been helping relieve both of these life-long problems and I loved that I could stop eating a bunch of chalky antacids. Then on my wedding day, as I was sitting having my hair done up, thinking about everything that might go wrong, I began to have a nervous stomach and began panicking. I remembered I brought the herbal blend with me, so I sent my friend to go get it and asked my mom to mix it up for me. Sure enough soon after drinking it, it helped calm my stomach and my nerves. I'm so grateful I have this tool for daily life and for when a bout of anxiety is underway. It helped me enjoy the rest of my special day with my partner and our family and friends.

Cintamani (Chin-ta-mani) is a Sanskrit term for "Wish Granting Jewel," and can also be correlated to the "Philosophers Stone" of Western Alchemy. There are numerous depictions of this "wish fulfilling jewel" in the wisdom traditions of Asia, including India, China, and Japan. The Cintamani stone is a representation of true freedom, a gift of grace. In Asian mythology, Guru Dzambala is the giver of this magical stone. Anytime that an individual moves in the slightest direction that is of benefit to All life, Dzambala waves his staff wildly in celebration and offers a wish granting cintamani to help the individual fulfill their liberating dream. This name felt fitting for an offering of herbs, teas, and information that supports our path of cultivation in this blessed life.

What is a Tonic Herb? Tonics are a unique class of herbs. They offer multi-directional actions that benefit more than one system of the body. In some ways, Tonics are more like super foods than they are like medicinal class herbs because over thousands of years, they have been proven to be safe and effective for daily use. Much like super foods, they can be consumed daily and offer a cumulative beneficial effect over time. Goji Berries and Jujube Dates are examples of Tonic Herbs that are also super foods. However, unlike super foods, many Tonic Herbs are roots, barks, or woody mushroom polypores, and they cannot be eaten as easily as Goji Berries. These Tonics must be extracted with hot water or alcohol in order to access their nutritional benefits. Our Cintamani Tonics are extracted into a super concentrated and highly bioavailable powdered extract form. So unlike super foods, a very small amount of these potent Tonic Extracts goes a long way. For optimal benefits, we suggest 1/2 tsp up to 2 tsp of Tonic Extracts daily. What form are these herbs in? Herb Powders? Extracts? Cintamani specializes in Beyond Organic potent and pure herbal extracts. Our powdered Hot Water Extracts have a 10:1 potency or greater ~ this means that 10 kg of whole herbs were extracted to produce 1 kg of powdered extract. The process involves cooking whole herbs in specialized pressure cookers to extract the medicinal qualities into the water. Then the herb fiber is removed, and the water is evaporated, leaving behind a fully water-soluble powder that is 10 times more potent than the whole herb itself. Our Hydroethanolic Dual Extracts generally have a potency that is greater than 10:1. Dual Extracts are made in a similar fashion as Hot Water Extracts, however they include an additional alcohol extraction step. After the whole herbs have been thoroughly extracted, all the water and alcohol solvents are evaporated, leaving a purely water-soluble powder that offers a more full-spectrum profile of the beneficial herbal compounds. Our Wild American Shilajit is a uniquely American harvested Shilajit Resin. It is expertly purified, using proprietary low-temperature purification methods. Our Wild American Shilajit Resin is ultra concentrated, with the consistency of honey, and a long shelf life. Our Wild American Shilajit Solution is a solution of our Mineral Resin rehydrated with purified spring water. It is made fresh-to-order, and is best if used within 6 months of purchase. We also occasionally offer some Whole Herbs, including Beyond Organic Moring Leaf Powder, and we also offer Menghai Chinese Puerh Teas! What's the difference between a "10:1 Extract" and a "Dual Extract?"" Our 10:1 Hot Water extracts contain all the water soluble compounds that can be extracted using hot water pressure cookers. Then the water is completely evaported, leaving only the water soluble compounds. 10 kg (or more) of each herb are used to produce 1 kg of extract. Our Hydroethanolic Dual Extracts are made in a very similar way, plus an additional solvent, ethanol, is used to extract the alcohol soluble constituents. Both the water and alcohol are evaporated, leaving a fine powder that contains both the water soluble and the alcohol soluble compounds. Our Dual Extracts are more full-spectrum; they often offer more potent flavors and therapeutic benefits than the Hot Water Extracts alone. What's the serving size & how do I take it? Each herb is subtly different, and we list suggested serving sizes on each listing. General serving suggestions: Stir 1/2 - 1 tsp of extracts into 8 - 12oz of hot water 1 - 2x daily. Makes a delicious instant tonic tea! Shilajit Serving Sizes: Shilajit Resin: 1 rice-grain sized dab (100mg) in non-chlorinated water, 1-2x daily. Shilajit Solution: 15 drops (about 100mg) in non-chlorinated water, 1-2x daily. Delcious Tonic Latte: Any Instant Tonic Tea blend or herbal exract can become a hot, frothy, nutrient-dense latte! 1/2 tsp Cintamani Tonic Tea powder 5 - 10 drops Shilajit Solution 1 tsp Maple Syrup, Coconut Syrup, Honey, or other natural sweetener 1 tbsp Organic Ghee, Coconut Butter, Cream, MCT Oil, Butter, or other natural fat 8 - 12oz of med-hot water Blend all ingredients in blender, or whizz with handheld immersion blender until frothy. Optional additions for added nutrients & flavor: Moringa powder, coconut milk powder, chai spices, chocolate, shot of espresso, turmeric, matcha, etc. Get creative & enjoy! Is this Organic? The Cintamani Apothecary contains some of the highest quality tonic herbal extracts currently available on the market. Every herb is grown Certified Organic or Beyond Organic, meaning the cultivation practices exceed current "Organic" Standards. Many of our herbs are considered Tao Di, or grown in "the original way" they have been cultivated for centuries. All our herbal extracts are laboratory tested (many of them 3rd party verified) to ensure that they are free of poisons or contaminants, and we are happy to provide Certificates of Analysis upon request. As practicing herbalists, it is incredibly important for us to offer herbs to our clients that will be completely and fully beneficial, without adverse effects from pollutants, excipients, or fillers. These herbs are the cleanest we can find, and we're proud to serve them to our family and friends. What is the Shelf Life of these Tonics? Our powdered Tonic extracts may keep well for years if properly stored. Light exposure can deteriorate the potency of these extracts, and moisture can cause them to clump together, making them more difficult to use. To avoid air & light exposure, store herbs in the air-tight amber jars we provide, in a dark place. We suggest using them with 2 years of opening. The resealable kraft pouches we provide in our Apothecary do not protect the herbs as well as glass & metal. (We mainly offer them to help reduce packaging waste & shipping costs). To extend the life of herbs in our resealable pouches, transfer the herbs to amber jars or place pouches inside a mason jar & in a dark place. Are there any fillers or excipients? No. Most of our herbal extracts are pure, whole herb extracts without anything added. Ever. There is one notable exception: our Goji Berry and Mulberry extracts have tiny amounts of Organic Maltodextrin added to prevent caking and clumping of the powders. These two extracts are so sugary and polysaccharide rich, they would turn into bricks without these tiny additions. Where are the Extracts produced? We contract manufacturers in China and India to produce small-batches of farm-direct extracts specifically for us. Most of the herbs we source have been grown in China or India for centuries, utilizing traditional semi-wild cultivation practices that meet or exceed current organic standards. The herbs are sourced fresh, tested for purity, then extracted, powdered, and tested again for final Certificates of Analysis. It takes about 3 months total turnaround time from start to finish. Many of our herbs are available in bulk, and some of them are only available by special order. For bulk inquiries or custom orders, contact us. Pregnancy and Contraindications? We often get asked, "Is this herb safe during Pregnancy, pre or post natal?" Disclaimer: We are not Doctors, and we DO NOT offer medical advice. We are Herbal educators and can help you find additional information that you can use to make your own informed decisions, or share with your Doctor, Midwife, or Naturopath. There are some Medicinal-Class herbs that many healthcare professionals and Herbalists alike discourage during Pregnancy. AmericanPregnancy.org provides this list of Herbs to Avoid While Pregnant: Saw Palmetto, Goldenseal, Dong Quai, Ephedra, Yohimbe, Pau D’ Arco, Passion Flower, Black Cohosh, Blue Cohosh, Roman Chamomile, Pennyroyal. Most of these Medicinal herbs possess strong herbal actions that stimulate or affect the blood flow or smooth muscles. During Pregnancy, health care professionals suggest women avoid any herbs that thin the blood, stimulate or relax smooth muscles, or any herbs that contain high concentrations of alkaloids. As Tonic Herbalists, we specialize in holistically nourishing Tonic Herbs that provide a deeper level of nutrition to the body, much like super foods. Most all of our Tonic Herbs are considered safe for pre and post natal use. Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis) is the only Tonic Herb we sell that is specifically contraindicated during Pregnancy because it can stimulate menstrual blood flow. Regardless, the Classical Chinese Herbal system still has a place for Dong Quai, utilizing it as a postpartum herb to help rebuild blood lost during birth. Our favorite Tonic Herb for supporting new and expecting Moms is Moringa oliefera. Moringa is a nutritional powerhouse for use before pregnancy to enhance fertility and overall vitality, during pregnancy to support healthy development, and postpartum to support lactation and healthy recuperation. Our second favorite Tonic for expecting Moms is Wild American Shilajit. Shilajit provides a wealth of ionic trace minerals that support healthy hormone levels, balance blood chemistry, build strong bones, and promote healthy mind and mood. Shilajit has been scientifically shown to increase Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), which supports fertility, making it a great addition to prenatal protocols. Some health professionals advise against using Shilajit during pregnancy, mainly because most Shilajit is produced overseas and contains high levels of heavy metals and possibly other contaminants. Our Wild American Shilajit is verifiably the cleanest and most pure Shilajit product we've seen on the market. As always, it is suggested that you talk with your Doctor, Midwife, or Naturopath before changing or adding herbs to your pregnancy plan. We hope the information provided here can help you and your health care professional research a pregnancy plan that supports you and your baby with all the best. What is Shilajit? Shilajit is a naturally occurring water-soluble mineral pitch found exuding from rocks and cliffs at high elevation in specific regions around the world, most notably the Himalayas. "Shilajit" is the globally accepted word for a whole variety of natural mineral pitch extracts, and has it's roots in the traditional Ayurvedic preparation that has been used in India since at least 600 BCE. The raw Shilajit is typically dissolved, filtered, decanted, and then cooked with herbs such as Triphala and Bhringaraj. It's then reduced and sun-cured into a thick resinous paste. Shilajit is known in Russia as Mumie, Mumio, or Brakshun. In Tibet it's known as Zhaxun or Brag Zhun. It's also found in the Middle East throughout Afghanistan, and has been discovered in the American Rockies and even South America. Raw Shilajit pitch is not safe for human consumption and must be carefully extracted and purified to obtain only the water-soluble phytonutrients, leaving behind all contaminants, microbes, heavy metals or other impurities. We sell only purified Wild American Shilajit. What is Shilajit made of? Shilajit is made of a wide spectrum of water soluble micronutrients including humic substances, trace minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and fatty acids. Shilajit is distinctly different from mineral tar, gilsonite, asphaltite, or any other hydrocarbonous mineral exudation in that it is fully water-soluble and comprised primarily of humic substances (20% Fulvic Acid and 1% Humic Acid) plus trace minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium in a highly bioavailable ionic form. Our Wild American Shilajit has been 3rd party laboratory tested, and contains 22% Fulvic acid, 1% Humic Acid, 1% Calcium, 1% Iron, 0.6% Potassium, 0.2% Magnesium, and 0.1% Sodium. Some Shilajit from other parts of the world is known for it's high heavy metal content. Not us. We regularly test each batch, and consistently show no detectable Cadmium, Lead, nor Mercury. And the naturally occurring Arsenic is typically 33x less than the allowable limit stipulated by Prop 65. Our Wild American Shilajit is truly the cleanest Shilajit we have seen anywhere on the market. If you find a cleaner COA, we'd like to see it! How does Shilajit form in nature? Shilajit is theorized to have geologically evolved from the slow humification of ancient marine plant life from the Triassic period that became encased in layers of rock under pressure. As geological events expose the organic matter to water and the elements, the water-soluble Shilajit mineral pitch may filter through permeable layers of rock, exuding from cracks and fissures. The fulvic acid rich Shilajit minerals collect and dry as a black resinous pitch. Shilajit naturally attracts animals like a salt deposit, and it plays an important role in the ecosystem & nutrient cycle, but it has been scarcely researched and is still not yet fully understood by modern geologists and hydrologists. Much research still needs to be done to fully understand how Shilajit is formed over time, how long it takes to form, how widely distributed it may be, what rock types and strata it may originate in, how the composition may compare across different deposits, and what species may rely on it for micronutrients. We welcome the modern scientific community to include us in their research. We deeply value this precious natural resource and are dedicated to stewarding Shilajit with respect so that it may continue to be a resource for generations to come. What's the Shilajit Suggested Serving Size? The suggested serving size is 100mg to 250mg of Shilajit Minerals daily. This is equivalent to: 1 - 2.5 droppers full of Wild American Shilajit Solution 1 - 2 rice grain sized dabs of Wild American Shilajit Resin If you are going to dilute the Shilajit, always dilute it with purified, non-chlorinated water (or other non-chlorinated food or beverage). This is important for 2 reasons: 1) Chlorine is a toxic chemical and should always be removed from drinking water for optimal health. 2) Chlorine may react with the Fulvic Acids found in Shilajit, producing another toxic chemical that is not optimal for health. Shilajit is a bit of an acquired taste. Some may find the earthy and bitter flavor to be too intense if used undiluted. If you're not used to the flavor, we suggest you start with the Wild American Shilajit Solution, as it is the more diluted version, and is easier to serve. If the flavor is too intense for you, here's some options: * Dilute it by using it to add minerals to your purified drinking water. You can add 2 - 3 drops to each 8oz glass of filtered water you drink throughout the day. You'll get your daily dose of 15 drops in about 4 - 5 glasses of water. * Add the Shilajit to something else that has a more potent flavor. Many people like to take their Shilajit in their coffee, or in a "shot" that they chase with their morning coffee. * Add our Wild American Shilajit to lemonade ~ you can hardly taste the bitters. It makes the most delicious & thirst-quenching electrolyte-rich rehydration! Shila-Lemonade: 16 - 20oz Filtered Water Juice from 1/2 Lemon (or 1 - 2 Limes) 1 - 2 tbsp Maple Syrup, Coconut Syrup, Agave, Honey, or other Natural Sweetener 10 - 15 drops Wild Amercian Shilajit Stir until all Shilajit & sweetener goes into solution. How do I use the Shilajit Resin? The Shilajit Solution is really easy to use ~ just drop 10 - 15 drops in Filtered, Non-Chlorinated water, & enjoy. But the resin is a little trickier... Use a toothpick or a butter knife to pick up 100mg ~ about a rice-grain sized dab. Stir this little dab into any Filtered, Non-Chlorinated water, & enjoy! Or if you're real brave, and unaffected by the flavor, drop that dab right on the center of your tongue and enjoy the "Shilajit Rush!" However, if you're adversed to the flavor, you can also dab some of the resin into a vegetable capsule and take it orally for flavor-free delivery. If you are going to dilute the Shilajit, always dilute it with purified, non-chlorinated water (or other non-chlorinated food or beverage). This is important for 2 reasons: 1) Chlorine is a toxic chemical and should always be removed from drinking water for optimal health. 2) Chlorine may react with the Fulvic Acids found in Shilajit, producing another toxic chemical that is not optimal for health. We offer a few more Serving Suggestions in the FAQ... Is your Shilajit authentically American harvested? Yes! Our Wild American Shilajit is exclusively purified from naturally occurring raw Shilajit mineral pitch deposits sustainably harvested from pristine high elevation locations (over 6,000 ft.) in the American Rockies. Maintaining the delicate natural ecology of these areas is of utmost importance to us, so our wildcrafters are careful to harvest with respect for the other life that depend on these special places. We harvest on foot using only hand tools, being very careful not to compact the soil nor disturb the surrounding vegetation. And we leave large portions of the natural Shilajit deposits in-tact for the flora and fauna that rely on them. Specifically, what locations is the American Shilajit harvested from? Whoa there, cowboy! Think we're going to give you a map to our gold mine?! LOL! Sorry, the exact locations of our Shilajit deposits are protected by Non-Disclosure Agreements. This not only protects our intellectual property, it also protects these delicate ecosystems from unneeded human impact. How is Wild American Shilajit Purified? Traditionally, Himalayan Shilajit is processed from its raw, inedible form into a safe and edible form using extraction methods that require high heat (well over 120 degrees F). After observing Shilajit in the wild, we have a developed a proprietary low-temperature purification method that we believe maintains the integrity of any delicate micronutrients that would otherwise be denatured or destroyed by high heat. It takes several months for each batch of Wild American Shilajit to be expertly purified at low temperatures. For these reasons, our product is a small-batch, artisan creation, and the supply is limited. This lengthy process may make our product a little pricier than other lesser quality Shilajits being harvested in other places of the world. However, we are proud to say that our product is consistently cleaner and more pure than any other Shilajit or Mumio we've seen from overseas. Check out our 3rd party Certificates of Lab Analysis here. If you find a Certificate of Analysis for other Shilajit that is cleaner, we'd like to see it!!! What's the difference between Wild American Shilajit and Himalayan Shilajit? "Shilajit" in Ayurveda is traditionally a purified herbal preparation made of raw Shilajit mineral pitch. It is typically dissolved, filtered, decanted, and then cooked with herbs such as Triphala and Bhringaraj. Our Wild American Shilajit is not a traditional Ayurvedic preparation. We offer a uniquely American harvested and American purified Shilajit product. We don't cook ours with herbs, instead we use an advanced, low temperature purification process to extract only the water-soluble minerals. For several reasons, we feel that our Wild American Shilajit is indeed more pure and potent than any Himalayan or Siberian varieties that we’ve seen... First, our American sourced Shilajit is being harvested from wild places with in-tact ecosystems, always on foot, and always with respect for the other life that relies on these special places. We never over-harvest, and since Shilajit is such a new thing in the Americas, we have no need to over-harvest. The deposits here are healthy & natural. Many Himalayan varieties are already over-harvested, and some are being mined with big machinery from potentially contaminated areas with lots of human impact. Secondly, most Himalayan Shilajit is heat purified, and then sun-cured. While this traditional method has worked for thousands of years, we’ve been able to improve upon this technique here, by applying more advanced filtration & purification technologies. Wild American Shilajit is strictly low temperature purified, using temps under 120° F. This helps preserve the delicate natural compounds better than heat purification. So with our American variety, you’re getting a more full-spectrum product that is closer to what nature provides. Thirdly, we use advanced filtration techniques to completely remove microbes & heavy metals. We have compared our certificates of analysis with all of the leading Himalayan Shilajit varieties, and ours are consistently the cleanest. You can view those COA’s at the bottom of our Shilajit page. And lastly, we make our Shilajit as easy-to-use as possible. We evaporate our Shilajit Resin down to the consistency of fresh honey, so it can be easily dipped into, making it more readily water-soluble & easy to portion out. We also provide the diluted Shilajit Solution in purified spring water for easy & exact servings ~ just add 10-15 drops to any non-chlorinated liquid. By contrast, most Shilajit being shipped over-seas needs to have ALL moisture removed to reduce freight costs. So what you get is usually a very hard resinous lump that can be difficult to use for many newbies, making it less approachable to some. And as an anecdotal side note, we’ve heard from many people that they prefer the flavor of our Shilajit ~ it tastes “bitter & herby,” or “peaty, kind of like Scotch” with less of that funky “barnyard” quality found in some Shilajit from overseas. What is the Shelf Life of Wild American Shilajit? Our Shilajit Resin has a suggested shelf life of 2 years. Use within 2 years of opening. The Shilajit Solution suggested shelf life is 1 year. Use within 3 months of opening. If Shilajit Resin lid becomes stuck, soak jar upright in a cup of warm water. Fill the water level up to just barely cover the bottom edge of the lid, leaving the top 2-3mm of the lid out of the water. Soak for 15 - 20 minutes before opening.

Cintamani Tea Arts The Tea plant, Camellia sinensis , is one of our dearest friends in the plant kingdom. It's presence creates a profound stillness that can be a significant tool for inner cultivation. Of all the Tonics we work with, Tea is a daily source of nourishment and inspiration in our lives. The Art of Tea is something that we learn more about every day, with every steeping and cup poured. Our online Tea selection is currently under construction. We primarily offer Pu'er Cha , a finely crafted, aged and fermented Chinese green tea from the Yunnan mountains. Pu'er (Puerh or Pu-erh) is a dark tea, known for it's savory, earthy flavors that we often associate with Black Teas (which are commonly referred to as Red Teas in China). Compared to coffee, tea offers a more balanced spectrum of organic compounds including caffeine, theobromine, theophylline, and L-theanine that can support brain health and energy levels. And ripened Pu'er Tea offers an even milder stimulating effect, when compared to unripened Green Teas. For a price list of our current Pu'er Tea Selection, please Contact Us .

Moringa oliefera Moringa oliefera is known as 'The Miracle Tree' and 'Natures Medicine Cabinet' because it is immensely nutritional and has an impressive array of uses. Every part of the tree has value, and has been used worldwide for 5,000 years to combat malnutrition, diabetes, malaria, and many other physical challenges and imbalances. The flowers, root, bark, seed pod, and leaves contain a multitude of benefits, and the leaves are considered to be a multi-vitamin in themselves. Moringa has some of the most nutrient rich leaves on the planet. They are regularly used to ameliorate severe malnutrition, and have legitimately changed the lives and well-being of many people with limited access to nourishing, clean food. These leaves contain a very high amount of protein, around 20% that is fully bioavailable. They are also high in calcium, beta carotene, and amino acids (arginine and histidine), and contain a complex of different B-vitamins. Another special thing about the Moringa leaf is that it is an ‘anti-quantum sensor’. This means that they disrupt the communication abilities of bacteria and viruses, thus preventing them from being able to reproduce and have a detrimental effect on the organism. How cool!!! This unique action can be very cleansing and nourishing for the gums and teeth by helping maintain a healthy bacterial environment in the mouth. The leaves are a powerhouse. The Moringa seeds are also incredibly noteworthy in their own right. They provide a nutritious and healing oil that has one of the highest anti-oxidant properties of any oil on the planet. This seed oil is very moisturizing and contains anti-microbial properties that help soothe and cleanse cuts, burns, rashes, etc. The seeds also have certain unique constituents that make them capable of turning dirty, unclean water into clean, potable, drinking water. It has been shown through peer reviewed scientific experimentation that 1 seed can clarify up to 2 liters of water. The more I learn about the Magic of Moringa, the more I recognize how significantly it can help people all across the planet. For more information about the uses and potential of Moringa you can visit www.moringaforlife.com . Moringa For Life has created a “ Moringa Growing Standard”, which I feel is leading the way in proper cultivation and processing methods that help Moringa express it’s greatest potential. I have been partnered with this company for 7 years, and these wonderful people are like family to me. I currently sell their USA grown, Beyond Organic, Moringa Leaf Powder through Cintamani Tonics. I am truly grateful for the gift of this plant, and honored for the opportunity to share it's Magic with the world. Raw Moringa Leaf Powder Out of Stock View Details

Spagyrics Spagyrics are a unique method of extracting and utilizing the healing qualities of plants. Spagyric remedies are intricately crafted using ancient processes that help maintain All beneficial aspects of a plant. Spagyrics are created with highly purified alcohol, yet are different from traditional extracts because they also contain the mineral salts of the plant along with the alcohol soluble constituents. *A true Spagyric is a combination of the alcohol extracted components and the purified plant salts.* Plant Salts are beneficial because they are yet another aspect of the plant's unique intelligent expression. By introducing/marrying them with the original extraction we are able to further access the gift of the plant by making use of multiple aspects being offered. These salts are responsible for the structure of the plant as it existed in nature and therefore have a re-structuring quality, thus helping prolong the shelf life of the extract. Spagyrics are considered to be the plant-based facet of traditional western alchemy, and can be seen as a pathway to a deeper understanding of the foundational building blocks of All Life. Alchemy can be defined in simple terms as an action or intention that is implemented to increase value through transformation. The Alchemical process involves conscious and intentional direction of ones will, and can be seen in all forms of creatively inspired and truly dedicated work involving the transmutation from one thing into that of greater value. According to traditional Alchemical philosophy, the effective and successful procurement of healing substances is correlated to, and dependent upon, the internal transformation of the individual creating the remedy. * The external Work and internal Work go hand in hand. The word Spagyric was coined by Paracelsus (a revolutionary physician from the 16th century), and is derived from two greek words. The first ‘spao’ means ‘to break apart’, and the second 'gyre' means to ‘recombine.' Essentially, the Spagyrist is breaking apart the medicinal constituents of an herb, purifying and refining the plant, and recombining the purified aspects in order to create a cohesive and whole structure that fully expresses the energy and integrity of the plant. This process also involves a proficient understanding of the planetary energies that are occurring at the time of creation, and an awareness of how that may affect the process and final product. Over time, humans have come to recognize that there is a dance of sympathy, or exchange of energy, occurring between heavenly bodies, plants, and humans. The creation of a true Spagyric involves a deep connection to, and understanding of this dance. Through this careful process of potency preservation, the powerful yet subtle virtues (or expressions) of a plant are maintained and exalted. Life force intelligence remains and is increased. The Spagyric is considered ‘living,’ and in this sense can respond as an adaptogen, having the potential to perpetually meet the needs of an individual through the transference of healing information. In my experience, they have perpetually proven their efficacy in helping to re-balance and re-vitalize the whole system of a human, physical and energetic. ​ If you would like to learn more about the Spagyric Process, please feel free to read this paper on Spagyric Essences that I wrote for my herbal training with Milagro School of Herbal Medicine. ​ Wishing you vibrant health and nourishment on All Levels! ​ ~DJ Ankenbrandt “An Alchemist in his Workshop,” by David Teniers II, 17th century Manfred Junius gives a few words of advice to those practicing this art, saying, “Let the keynote of your work be to know the wonders of nature and the desire to help others.”

They offer multi-directional actions that benefit more than one system of the body. In some ways, Tonics are more like super foods than they are like medicinal class herbs because over thousands of years, they have been proven to be safe and effective for daily use. Much like super foods, they can be consumed daily and offer a cumulative beneficial effect over time. Goji Berries and Jujube Dates are examples of Tonic Herbs that are also super foods. However, unlike super foods, many Tonic Herbs are roots, barks, or woody mushroom polypores, and they cannot be eaten as easily as Goji Berries. These Tonics must be extracted with hot water or alcohol in order to access their nutritional benefits. Our Cintamani Tonics are extracted into a super concentrated and highly bioavailable powdered extract form. So unlike super foods, a very small amount of these potent Tonic Extracts goes a long way. For optimal benefits, we suggest 1/2 tsp up to 2 tsp of Tonic Extracts daily. What form are these herbs in? Herb Powders? Extracts? Cintamani specializes in Beyond Organic potent and pure herbal extracts. Our powdered Hot Water Extracts have a 10:1 potency or greater ~ this means that 10 kg of whole herbs were extracted to produce 1 kg of powdered extract. The process involves cooking whole herbs in specialized pressure cookers to extract the medicinal qualities into the water. Then the herb fiber is removed, and the water is evaporated, leaving behind a fully water-soluble powder that is 10 times more potent than the whole herb itself. Our Hydroethanolic Dual Extracts generally have a potency that is greater than 10:1. Dual Extracts are made in a similar fashion as Hot Water Extracts, however they include an additional alcohol extraction step. After the whole herbs have been thoroughly extracted, all the water and alcohol solvents are evaporated, leaving a purely water-soluble powder that offers a more full-spectrum profile of the beneficial herbal compounds. Our Wild American Shilajit is a uniquely American harvested Shilajit Resin. It is expertly purified, using proprietary low-temperature purification methods. Our Wild American Shilajit Resin is ultra concentrated, with the consistency of honey, and a long shelf life. Our Wild American Shilajit Solution is a solution of our Mineral Resin rehydrated with purified spring water. It is made fresh-to-order, and is best if used within 6 months of purchase. We also occasionally offer some Whole Herbs, including Beyond Organic Moring Leaf Powder, and we also offer Menghai Chinese Puerh Teas! What's the difference between a "10:1 Extract" and a "Dual Extract?"" Our 10:1 Hot Water extracts contain all the water soluble compounds that can be extracted using hot water pressure cookers. Then the water is completely evaported, leaving only the water soluble compounds. 10 kg (or more) of each herb are used to produce 1 kg of extract. Our Hydroethanolic Dual Extracts are made in a very similar way, plus an additional solvent, ethanol, is used to extract the alcohol soluble constituents. Both the water and alcohol are evaporated, leaving a fine powder that contains both the water soluble and the alcohol soluble compounds. Our Dual Extracts are more full-spectrum; they often offer more potent flavors and therapeutic benefits than the Hot Water Extracts alone. What's the serving size & how do I take it? Each herb is subtly different, and we list suggested serving sizes on each listing. General serving suggestions: Stir 1/2 - 1 tsp of extracts into 8 - 12oz of hot water 1 - 2x daily. Makes a delicious instant tonic tea! Shilajit Serving Sizes: Shilajit Resin: 1 rice-grain sized dab (100mg) in non-chlorinated water, 1-2x daily. Shilajit Solution: 15 drops (about 100mg) in non-chlorinated water, 1-2x daily. Delcious Tonic Latte: Any Instant Tonic Tea blend or herbal exract can become a hot, frothy, nutrient-dense latte! 1/2 tsp Cintamani Tonic Tea powder 5 - 10 drops Shilajit Solution 1 tsp Maple Syrup, Coconut Syrup, Honey, or other natural sweetener 1 tbsp Organic Ghee, Coconut Butter, Cream, MCT Oil, Butter, or other natural fat 8 - 12oz of med-hot water Blend all ingredients in blender, or whizz with handheld immersion blender until frothy. Optional additions for added nutrients & flavor: Moringa powder, coconut milk powder, chai spices, chocolate, shot of espresso, turmeric, matcha, etc. Get creative & enjoy! Is this Organic? The Cintamani Apothecary contains some of the highest quality tonic herbal extracts currently available on the market. Every herb is grown Certified Organic or Beyond Organic, meaning the cultivation practices exceed current "Organic" Standards. Many of our herbs are considered Tao Di, or grown in "the original way" they have been cultivated for centuries. All our herbal extracts are laboratory tested (many of them 3rd party verified) to ensure that they are free of poisons or contaminants, and we are happy to provide Certificates of Analysis upon request. As practicing herbalists, it is incredibly important for us to offer herbs to our clients that will be completely and fully beneficial, without adverse effects from pollutants, excipients, or fillers. These herbs are the cleanest we can find, and we're proud to serve them to our family and friends. What is the Shelf Life of these Tonics? Our powdered Tonic extracts may keep well for years if properly stored. Light exposure can deteriorate the potency of these extracts, and moisture can cause them to clump together, making them more difficult to use. To avoid air & light exposure, store herbs in the air-tight amber jars we provide, in a dark place. We suggest using them with 2 years of opening. The resealable kraft pouches we provide in our Apothecary do not protect the herbs as well as glass & metal. (We mainly offer them to help reduce packaging waste & shipping costs). To extend the life of herbs in our resealable pouches, transfer the herbs to amber jars or place pouches inside a mason jar & in a dark place. Are there any fillers or excipients? No. Most of our herbal extracts are pure, whole herb extracts without anything added. Ever. There is one notable exception: our Goji Berry and Mulberry extracts have tiny amounts of Organic Maltodextrin added to prevent caking and clumping of the powders. These two extracts are so sugary and polysaccharide rich, they would turn into bricks without these tiny additions. Where are the Extracts produced? We contract manufacturers in China and India to produce small-batches of farm-direct extracts specifically for us. Most of the herbs we source have been grown in China or India for centuries, utilizing traditional semi-wild cultivation practices that meet or exceed current organic standards. The herbs are sourced fresh, tested for purity, then extracted, powdered, and tested again for final Certificates of Analysis. It takes about 3 months total turnaround time from start to finish. Many of our herbs are available in bulk, and some of them are only available by special order. For bulk inquiries or custom orders, contact us. Pregnancy and Contraindications? We often get asked, "Is this herb safe during Pregnancy, pre or post natal?" Disclaimer: We are not Doctors, and we DO NOT offer medical advice. We are Herbal educators and can help you find additional information that you can use to make your own informed decisions, or share with your Doctor, Midwife, or Naturopath. There are some Medicinal-Class herbs that many healthcare professionals and Herbalists alike discourage during Pregnancy. AmericanPregnancy.org provides this list of Herbs to Avoid While Pregnant: Saw Palmetto, Goldenseal, Dong Quai, Ephedra, Yohimbe, Pau D’ Arco, Passion Flower, Black Cohosh, Blue Cohosh, Roman Chamomile, Pennyroyal. Most of these Medicinal herbs possess strong herbal actions that stimulate or affect the blood flow or smooth muscles. During Pregnancy, health care professionals suggest women avoid any herbs that thin the blood, stimulate or relax smooth muscles, or any herbs that contain high concentrations of alkaloids. As Tonic Herbalists, we specialize in holistically nourishing Tonic Herbs that provide a deeper level of nutrition to the body, much like super foods. Most all of our Tonic Herbs are considered safe for pre and post natal use. Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis) is the only Tonic Herb we sell that is specifically contraindicated during Pregnancy because it can stimulate menstrual blood flow. Regardless, the Classical Chinese Herbal system still has a place for Dong Quai, utilizing it as a postpartum herb to help rebuild blood lost during birth. Our favorite Tonic Herb for supporting new and expecting Moms is Moringa oliefera. Moringa is a nutritional powerhouse for use before pregnancy to enhance fertility and overall vitality, during pregnancy to support healthy development, and postpartum to support lactation and healthy recuperation. Our second favorite Tonic for expecting Moms is Wild American Shilajit. Shilajit provides a wealth of ionic trace minerals that support healthy hormone levels, balance blood chemistry, build strong bones, and promote healthy mind and mood. Shilajit has been scientifically shown to increase Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), which supports fertility, making it a great addition to prenatal protocols. Some health professionals advise against using Shilajit during pregnancy, mainly because most Shilajit is produced overseas and contains high levels of heavy metals and possibly other contaminants. Our Wild American Shilajit is verifiably the cleanest and most pure Shilajit product we've seen on the market. As always, it is suggested that you talk with your Doctor, Midwife, or Naturopath before changing or adding herbs to your pregnancy plan. We hope the information provided here can help you and your health care professional research a pregnancy plan that supports you and your baby with all the best. What is Shilajit? Shilajit is a naturally occurring water-soluble mineral pitch found exuding from rocks and cliffs at high elevation in specific regions around the world, most notably the Himalayas. "Shilajit" is the globally accepted word for a whole variety of natural mineral pitch extracts, and has it's roots in the traditional Ayurvedic preparation that has been used in India since at least 600 BCE. The raw Shilajit is typically dissolved, filtered, decanted, and then cooked with herbs such as Triphala and Bhringaraj. It's then reduced and sun-cured into a thick resinous paste. Shilajit is known in Russia as Mumie, Mumio, or Brakshun. In Tibet it's known as Zhaxun or Brag Zhun. It's also found in the Middle East throughout Afghanistan, and has been discovered in the American Rockies and even South America. Raw Shilajit pitch is not safe for human consumption and must be carefully extracted and purified to obtain only the water-soluble phytonutrients, leaving behind all contaminants, microbes, heavy metals or other impurities. We sell only purified Wild American Shilajit. What is Shilajit made of? Shilajit is made of a wide spectrum of water soluble micronutrients including humic substances, trace minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and fatty acids. Shilajit is distinctly different from mineral tar, gilsonite, asphaltite, or any other hydrocarbonous mineral exudation in that it is fully water-soluble and comprised primarily of humic substances (20% Fulvic Acid and 1% Humic Acid) plus trace minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium in a highly bioavailable ionic form. Our Wild American Shilajit has been 3rd party laboratory tested, and contains 22% Fulvic acid, 1% Humic Acid, 1% Calcium, 1% Iron, 0.6% Potassium, 0.2% Magnesium, and 0.1% Sodium. Some Shilajit from other parts of the world is known for it's high heavy metal content. Not us. We regularly test each batch, and consistently show no detectable Cadmium, Lead, nor Mercury. And the naturally occurring Arsenic is typically 33x less than the allowable limit stipulated by Prop 65. Our Wild American Shilajit is truly the cleanest Shilajit we have seen anywhere on the market. If you find a cleaner COA, we'd like to see it! How does Shilajit form in nature? Shilajit is theorized to have geologically evolved from the slow humification of ancient marine plant life from the Triassic period that became encased in layers of rock under pressure. As geological events expose the organic matter to water and the elements, the water-soluble Shilajit mineral pitch may filter through permeable layers of rock, exuding from cracks and fissures. The fulvic acid rich Shilajit minerals collect and dry as a black resinous pitch. Shilajit naturally attracts animals like a salt deposit, and it plays an important role in the ecosystem & nutrient cycle, but it has been scarcely researched and is still not yet fully understood by modern geologists and hydrologists. Much research still needs to be done to fully understand how Shilajit is formed over time, how long it takes to form, how widely distributed it may be, what rock types and strata it may originate in, how the composition may compare across different deposits, and what species may rely on it for micronutrients. We welcome the modern scientific community to include us in their research. We deeply value this precious natural resource and are dedicated to stewarding Shilajit with respect so that it may continue to be a resource for generations to come. What's the Shilajit Suggested Serving Size? The suggested serving size is 100mg to 250mg of Shilajit Minerals daily. This is equivalent to: 1 - 2.5 droppers full of Wild American Shilajit Solution 1 - 2 rice grain sized dabs of Wild American Shilajit Resin If you are going to dilute the Shilajit, always dilute it with purified, non-chlorinated water (or other non-chlorinated food or beverage). This is important for 2 reasons: 1) Chlorine is a toxic chemical and should always be removed from drinking water for optimal health. 2) Chlorine may react with the Fulvic Acids found in Shilajit, producing another toxic chemical that is not optimal for health. Shilajit is a bit of an acquired taste. Some may find the earthy and bitter flavor to be too intense if used undiluted. If you're not used to the flavor, we suggest you start with the Wild American Shilajit Solution, as it is the more diluted version, and is easier to serve. If the flavor is too intense for you, here's some options: * Dilute it by using it to add minerals to your purified drinking water. You can add 2 - 3 drops to each 8oz glass of filtered water you drink throughout the day. You'll get your daily dose of 15 drops in about 4 - 5 glasses of water. * Add the Shilajit to something else that has a more potent flavor. Many people like to take their Shilajit in their coffee, or in a "shot" that they chase with their morning coffee. * Add our Wild American Shilajit to lemonade ~ you can hardly taste the bitters. It makes the most delicious & thirst-quenching electrolyte-rich rehydration! Shila-Lemonade: 16 - 20oz Filtered Water Juice from 1/2 Lemon (or 1 - 2 Limes) 1 - 2 tbsp Maple Syrup, Coconut Syrup, Agave, Honey, or other Natural Sweetener 10 - 15 drops Wild Amercian Shilajit Stir until all Shilajit & sweetener goes into solution. How do I use the Shilajit Resin? The Shilajit Solution is really easy to use ~ just drop 10 - 15 drops in Filtered, Non-Chlorinated water, & enjoy. But the resin is a little trickier... Use a toothpick or a butter knife to pick up 100mg ~ about a rice-grain sized dab. Stir this little dab into any Filtered, Non-Chlorinated water, & enjoy! Or if you're real brave, and unaffected by the flavor, drop that dab right on the center of your tongue and enjoy the "Shilajit Rush!" However, if you're adversed to the flavor, you can also dab some of the resin into a vegetable capsule and take it orally for flavor-free delivery. If you are going to dilute the Shilajit, always dilute it with purified, non-chlorinated water (or other non-chlorinated food or beverage). This is important for 2 reasons: 1) Chlorine is a toxic chemical and should always be removed from drinking water for optimal health. 2) Chlorine may react with the Fulvic Acids found in Shilajit, producing another toxic chemical that is not optimal for health. We offer a few more Serving Suggestions in the FAQ... Is your Shilajit authentically American harvested? Yes! Our Wild American Shilajit is exclusively purified from naturally occurring raw Shilajit mineral pitch deposits sustainably harvested from pristine high elevation locations (over 6,000 ft.) in the American Rockies. Maintaining the delicate natural ecology of these areas is of utmost importance to us, so our wildcrafters are careful to harvest with respect for the other life that depend on these special places. We harvest on foot using only hand tools, being very careful not to compact the soil nor disturb the surrounding vegetation. And we leave large portions of the natural Shilajit deposits in-tact for the flora and fauna that rely on them. Specifically, what locations is the American Shilajit harvested from? Whoa there, cowboy! Think we're going to give you a map to our gold mine?! LOL! Sorry, the exact locations of our Shilajit deposits are protected by Non-Disclosure Agreements. This not only protects our intellectual property, it also protects these delicate ecosystems from unneeded human impact. How is Wild American Shilajit Purified? Traditionally, Himalayan Shilajit is processed from its raw, inedible form into a safe and edible form using extraction methods that require high heat (well over 120 degrees F). After observing Shilajit in the wild, we have a developed a proprietary low-temperature purification method that we believe maintains the integrity of any delicate micronutrients that would otherwise be denatured or destroyed by high heat. It takes several months for each batch of Wild American Shilajit to be expertly purified at low temperatures. For these reasons, our product is a small-batch, artisan creation, and the supply is limited. This lengthy process may make our product a little pricier than other lesser quality Shilajits being harvested in other places of the world. However, we are proud to say that our product is consistently cleaner and more pure than any other Shilajit or Mumio we've seen from overseas. Check out our 3rd party Certificates of Lab Analysis here. If you find a Certificate of Analysis for other Shilajit that is cleaner, we'd like to see it!!! What's the difference between Wild American Shilajit and Himalayan Shilajit? "Shilajit" in Ayurveda is traditionally a purified herbal preparation made of raw Shilajit mineral pitch. It is typically dissolved, filtered, decanted, and then cooked with herbs such as Triphala and Bhringaraj. Our Wild American Shilajit is not a traditional Ayurvedic preparation. We offer a uniquely American harvested and American purified Shilajit product. We don't cook ours with herbs, instead we use an advanced, low temperature purification process to extract only the water-soluble minerals. For several reasons, we feel that our Wild American Shilajit is indeed more pure and potent than any Himalayan or Siberian varieties that we’ve seen... First, our American sourced Shilajit is being harvested from wild places with in-tact ecosystems, always on foot, and always with respect for the other life that relies on these special places. We never over-harvest, and since Shilajit is such a new thing in the Americas, we have no need to over-harvest. The deposits here are healthy & natural. Many Himalayan varieties are already over-harvested, and some are being mined with big machinery from potentially contaminated areas with lots of human impact. Secondly, most Himalayan Shilajit is heat purified, and then sun-cured. While this traditional method has worked for thousands of years, we’ve been able to improve upon this technique here, by applying more advanced filtration & purification technologies. Wild American Shilajit is strictly low temperature purified, using temps under 120° F. This helps preserve the delicate natural compounds better than heat purification. So with our American variety, you’re getting a more full-spectrum product that is closer to what nature provides. Thirdly, we use advanced filtration techniques to completely remove microbes & heavy metals. We have compared our certificates of analysis with all of the leading Himalayan Shilajit varieties, and ours are consistently the cleanest. You can view those COA’s at the bottom of our Shilajit page. And lastly, we make our Shilajit as easy-to-use as possible. We evaporate our Shilajit Resin down to the consistency of fresh honey, so it can be easily dipped into, making it more readily water-soluble & easy to portion out. We also provide the diluted Shilajit Solution in purified spring water for easy & exact servings ~ just add 10-15 drops to any non-chlorinated liquid. By contrast, most Shilajit being shipped over-seas needs to have ALL moisture removed to reduce freight costs. So what you get is usually a very hard resinous lump that can be difficult to use for many newbies, making it less approachable to some. And as an anecdotal side note, we’ve heard from many people that they prefer the flavor of our Shilajit ~ it tastes “bitter & herby,” or “peaty, kind of like Scotch” with less of that funky “barnyard” quality found in some Shilajit from overseas. What is the Shelf Life of Wild American Shilajit? Our Shilajit Resin has a suggested shelf life of 2 years. Use within 2 years of opening. The Shilajit Solution suggested shelf life is 1 year. Use within 3 months of opening. If Shilajit Resin lid becomes stuck, soak jar upright in a cup of warm water. Fill the water level up to just barely cover the bottom edge of the lid, leaving the top 2-3mm of the lid out of the water. Soak for 15 - 20 minutes before opening. Clean the edges of the lid and jar threads well with a clean, damp towel before replacing the lid. Is there Scientific Reseach available on the benefits of Shilajit? Yes! Pubmed is brimming with peer-reviewed articles on Shilajit and Mumio from around the world. Our American Shilajit page has a starter list of some of the most notable benefits and links to some of the more well-researched findings. Can I access Certificates of Analysis for the Shilajit?
