ADAPTOGEN BLENDS
What are adaptogens?
Adaptogens are a class of herbs, mushrooms and minerals that help the body to adapt to stress. With an equanimous intelligence, adaptogens work on behalf of the neuroendocrine-immune system to allow us to bend with the winds of change, however turbulent they may be. In regulating cortisol and mitigating the noxious effects of stress on the body, adaptogens have far reaching healing capacities, which is why they can treat such a vast array of disharmonies in the body, from low libido, weakened immunity, chronic fatigue, insomnia, and poor focus, to anxiety, premature aging, depression, and awakened consciousness.
How are the ingredients for your adaptogen blends sourced?
The ingredients for our super mushrooms and super herbs are all certified organic and consciously sourced from their native region from around the worlds for plants that are active and potent.
We study the history of each ingredient and build partnerships only with certified organic suppliers.
How are the adaptogen blends formulated?
Each blend was intentionally created in collaboration with our herbalist from a base of ancient wisdom and modern science to make the most balanced formulas for this time.
Where are they made?
All the ingredients are brought together from the best suppliers in Germany and sustainably packaged up for you outside of Berlin.
What do our adaptogen blends taste like?
The Muse – nutty, chocolately
The Immortal – chocolately, earthy
The Alchemist – spicy, peppery
The Luminous – tart, berry
The Mountain Monk – earthy, bitter
Is there sugar in it?
No sugar or sneaky sweeteners added whatsoever.
How frequently should I use the blends?
Listen to your body and trust your intuition. Experiences and sensitivities to herbs vary from person to person
1 serving at a time, 1-2 times a day. Benefits are maximized with consistent use. Start slow and adjust dosage accordingly through your body’s individual needs.
Does the consistency of the powders change over time?
Consistency shouldn’t change during their shelf life. The Luminous blend can harden or clump if not used on a regular basis, but that doesn’t affect the potency.
Can I mix different blends together?
Of course! Best to try each blend on its own first for personal experience of your body’s response and go from there.
Are the jars filled to the top?
It varies. They are filled by weight, not volume, and each formula has a different density depending on the ingredients.
When do the blends expire?
They all have a shelf life from 1,5-2 years.
Are the blends save during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Though our ingredients are all associated with profound health benefits, we legally cannot provide you with any medical advice. We suggest consulting with yourlocal herbalist, healthcare practitioner or acupuncturist before making any changes to your diet during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
JUICES / CLEANSES
What is cold pressed?
Cold pressed juicing is the most pure method of juicing of extracting juice from fresh organic fruits and vegetables. It’s made with a hydraulic press that uses thousands of pounds of pressure to extract the maximum amount of essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals and live enzymes into a vibrant juice. By minimizing the oxidization process, no nutrients are lost in the heat like in other methods such as centrifugal juicing. Cold pressing is proven to yield 4x more nutrients than other methods.
Where does your produce come from?
We order from Terra Naturkost, Markthalle Neun and independent farmers around Berlin/ Brandenburg.
How long do cold pressed juices last?
Fresh cold pressed juice will normally last about 3-5 days if kept refrigerated at all times. Shake away separation before opening.
What is the difference between your cleanses?
The Garden Cleanse is a gentle cleanse of a delightful mix of fruits, roots & greens that goes down easy & sweet but is still alkalizing and will naturally re-boot your system.
Our Green Cleanse formula is designed for a more advanced cleansing experience with the alkalising and detoxing benefits of mostly leafy green vegetables.
The Moon Cleanse is aligned with the lunar calendar over 4 single cleanse days on the particular Moon days throughout one Moon cycle (New Moon, 4th day, 11th day and Full Moon) to reboot your metabolism and glandular system in a deep way.
How many calories are in your cleanse?
The daily caloric intake while cleansing runs between 1,000-1,225 calories depending on the Cleanse program.
What are the benefits of cleansing?
Our Cleanse programs are a chance to reset eating habits and eliminate the desire for processed foods. The cleanse helps to break unhealthy habits, restore the mind body connection and to kick-start a healthier lifestyle. One of the greatest benefits is the mental clarity and sense of well being experienced during and post cleansing. Staying away from food and saving the energy that goes into preparing and digesting meals can be an empowering experience and leads to a greater level of mindfulness.
How should I prepare for my cleanse?
Preparation is key to ensuring the most successful cleanse experience. It’s important to ease in, so we highly recommend that in the days leading up to your cleanse, you cut out alcohol, processed foods, excess salt, sugar and coffee. If possible, avoid these completely two days before your cleanse
Can I eat solid foods while doing the cleanse?
It is important to listen to your body. We strongly encourage you to stick with just the juices if possible. But if your body needs something more, and you feel confident that your hunger is more than simply a craving to chew, we recommend ingredients found in the juices themselves (f.i. romaine, spinach chopped up into a light salad with freshly squeezed lemon) or an avocado with a little lemon. It’s important to keep it completely organic and raw.
Can I exercise during my cleanse?
Yes! Our cleanse programs are pure and natural nutrition. They provide a huge amount of nutrients and are specifically designed to be done while carrying on with a normal, busy lifestyle.
How often may I cleanse?
We suggest embarking on a three day juice cleanse whenever you feel that your eating habits need to be improved. If you are feeling lethargic, bloated or simply not yourself, it is a good indicator that it is time to cleanse. Many people do a one day cleanse at the beginning of the week as a mini reset after their weekend. Others choose to do a longer cleanse (5-7 days) less frequently as the seasons change.
Can my kids drink your juices?
Of course. Kids love them! Cold pressed juices are a great alternative to sugary drinks, which don’t provide any nutrition.
