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.

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.
