Here at Babaji's Chai Shop, we believe in the art of brewing the perfect cup of chai and infusing this art with medicinal compounds that serve to take your health to the net level.
Why Rishi Mushroom Tonic?
The Rishi tonic, is named after the monastic order of Rishis, famous throughout the Himalayas and the continent of India. The Rishis have always lived on herbs and medicinal roots. They developed the science of Ayurveda to classify medicinal plants as food and medicine.
This formula is primarily composed of a 15 species medicinal mushroom blend of 18:1 and 20:1 concentrates and dual extracts, with the addition of three traditional tonic herbs, red asparagus root, he shou wu, and ashwaghandha. Each with a long tradition of use.
Our Rishi Immune Tonic, contins extracts from the fruit bodies of the most potent medicinal mushrooms on the planet. Extracts, in contrast to mushrooms, concentrate the medicinal compounds in a form that is far more stable and water soluble than the powdered mycelial products found in most stores.
This formula also contains three plant extracts that are well known in Chinese medicine as well as Ayurveda.
Ashwaghandha, He Shou Wu and Red Asparagus Root.
Each has been selected due to its tonic nature.
Tonic herbs, in contrast to medicinal herbs, are best for everyday long term usage. And each of these three plants is well known for the long term benefits of regular usage.
Another benefit to using herbal concentrates, is that the process of extraction concentrates the medicinal compounds and minerals, and the sugars, resulting in a better tasting and potent; flavorful product.
Why Drink Chai?
Chai tea, enjoyed throughout the world, comes from the Vedic culture.
Many thousands of years ago, when the western civilizations first conquered and traveled to the mysterious orient, it was the herbs and spices that were the most treasured commodities.
Ginger, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, turmeric, saffron; these spices have been fought over in wars,and the ancient lands where they have been grown for millennia, have been conquered and controlled by empires throughout history, and the resulting products bought, traded, shipped and sold the world over for many centuries.
These plants, used as spices and for teas; have long been used as a daily medicinal tonic to flavor their foods and drink as potent home remedies.
Here at my chai shop, these formulas are the culmination and refinement of generations of yogic wisdom coupled with modern scientific methodology to result in an extraordinary product line.
I combine all these spices, and a few other choice plant extracts, to result in a daily tonic that staves off hunger, and replaces addiction to caffeinated drinks and stimulant products.
