Our journey began during the challenging times of the pandemic when we lost some of our most beloved family members. In our effort to calm our stress-filled minds, we remembered an old family remedy: my grandma’s functional mushroom and valerian tincture. She always said it could calm her nerves whenever life felt overwhelming. But let’s be honest – the taste? 🤢 It was terrible. Every sip was a test of courage, and the smell alone could make you wince, but boy, did it do the trick!
