The Wheel of the Year

The Wheel of the Year Collection includes eight distinct formulations. Each product is named for a personal phase of experience, with its traditional festival reference included for context. Ingredients are listed to provide transparency and help guide intuitive selection.

Yule — Reishi, Shiitake, Elderberry
Supports restoration and nervous system balance during periods of depletion or overload.

Imbolc — Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cleavers
Supports clarity, mental freshness, and a sense of direction as new momentum begins to form.

Ostara — Lion’s Mane, Shiitake, Nettle
Supports growth, adaptability, and forward movement during phases of expansion and renewal.

Beltane — Chaga, Lion’s Mane, Hawthorn Blossom
Supports energy, engagement, and drive during periods of expression and increased vitality.

Litha — Chaga, Lion’s Mane, Lemon Balm
Supports focus, stamina, and resilience during high-demand or peak-output phases.

Lughnasadh — Shiitake, Reishi, Nettle Seeds
Supports grounding, nourishment, and balance as effort consolidates and pressure eases.

Mabon — Shiitake, Reishi, Rosehip
Supports emotional regulation and stability during transition, reflection, and recalibration.

Samhain — Reishi, Chaga, Mugwort
Supports deep rest, recovery, and inner balance during phases of withdrawal and renewal.

Together, these eight formulations form a complete cyclical framework, allowing individuals to choose support based on where they are personally, rather than the time of year.

The Wheel of the Year Collection is built on a systems-based understanding of human physiology: different biological processes come to the foreground at different times, depending on stress load, cognitive demand, immune pressure, emotional regulation, and recovery state.

Rather than assuming constant needs, this collection reflects the reality that the body and mind move through phases — requiring different forms of support as demands shift.

Each formulation combines fruiting-body mushroom extracts with carefully selected botanical herbs, chosen for their complementary roles within these systems.

Mushrooms

Fruiting-body mushrooms contain a broad range of bioactive compounds, including beta-glucans, triterpenes, polyphenols, and other secondary metabolites. These compounds have been widely studied for their roles in supporting:

• Immune resilience and recovery

• Cognitive function and mental clarity

• Stress response and nervous system balance

• Energy metabolism and physical endurance

Multi-stage extraction methods are used to make both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds available, reflecting traditional practice alongside modern phytochemical understanding.

Herbs

The botanical herbs used across the collection have long histories of use in traditional herbal systems and are increasingly studied in modern research for their bioactive constituents, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenes, and phenolic compounds.

These constituents are commonly researched for their roles in supporting:

• Nervous system regulation and emotional balance

• Digestive and metabolic function

• Circulatory support and oxygen utilisation

• Rest, recovery, and adaptive stress response

A Systems-Based Approach

Rather than targeting isolated effects, the Wheel of the Year Collection is designed to support core physiological systems that naturally rise and fall in importance over time.

Taken together, the mushrooms and herbs work within a dynamic support framework — recognising that wellbeing is cyclical, adaptive, and best supported through balanced, whole-system formulations rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Ingredients & Usage

Composition & Extraction

The Wheel of the Year Collection includes eight distinct formulations. Each is crafted using a consistent structural framework:

• Primary mushroom (60%)
• Secondary mushroom (25%)
• Botanical herb (15%)

All mushrooms are 100% fruiting bodies, extracted using traditional multi-stage methods to make both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds available. Botanical herbs are selected for quality, compatibility, and traditional use within each formulation.

Each tincture is extracted using a balanced blend of food-grade ethanol and purified water (approx. 25% ABV in final tincture), supporting stability and full-spectrum extraction across the collection.
