The primary extraction method we use here is a high strength alcohol to extract the best properties from the chaga - we use alcohol because it is an excellent solvent for extracting both acidic and basic compounds from the chaga that dissolve poorly in water alone, meaning that the very best properties are extracted from the chaga in this process
This extraction takes four months and is done by the cycles of the moon for added magic - we work with intention and harness the energy of the moon cycles, starting the process by the new moon and completing on a full moon
After freezing the chaga to reactivate we then do a secondary water extraction, this is a low heat slow process using the healing waters from Deeside mineral water - we then mix the two extractions
The end product is a 25% alcohol content elixir
