Over the past several years, medical practices have begun to adopt more holistic medications. Known as natural healing, the alternative practice involves emphasis on the mind-body connection. Fundamental for treating acute and chronic conditions, these remedies are now available for every household.
Loom is a family run and operated company that manufactures high-quality medicinal and gourmet products. Every product is certified organic and made in the Loom laboratory, free of synthetic additives, pesticides, and GMOs. Dedicated to providing consumers with healthy alternatives, Loom creates products that are known for their unique taste and beneficial properties.
About Loom
Founded in 2016, Loom products are made in Quebec, Canada. Grown and harvested from a small eastern township, the company uses local and natural resources from the province. Supporting the local community, the company uses two different mushroom species, Reishi and Lion’s Mane. To ensure quality, the company utilizes advanced techniques and methods to create unique recipes that reveal the benefits of mushrooms.
Inspired by ancient Asian medicinal culture, Loom is based on practices from over 5,000 years ago. Containing powerful properties, the history of the species has been cataloged into ancient manuscripts.
Based on thousands of different herbs, minerals, teas, tinctures, and extracts, traditional medicine is considered a fundamental therapy. Mostly found in Chinese and Japanese civilizations, mushrooms were found to provide vital energy, aid weight loss, and improve longevity by reducing premature aging.
Western medicine has shown that mushrooms contain the ability to exhibit antibacterial and antiviral activity. With potent medicinal properties, fungi are responsible for producing components that survive against competing and pathogenic organisms.
Instead of an immune system, these mushroom species use natural properties to endure the harsh elements of the wild. Naturally produced, the fungi contain antibiotic penicillin which works to prevent bacteria and eliminate disease.
How Loom Works
Subjects of research for more than 50 years, the Reishi and Lion’s Mane mushroom varieties are the most popular in natural remedies. Known as Lingzhi and Mannetake, the Reishi mushroom has been recognized for more than 2,000 years.
Originally described in China’s first pharmacopeia book during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was praised for its therapeutic properties. Boosting energy and removing toxins from the body, the Reishi contains anti-aging properties that provide many health benefits.
Lion’s Mane, also known as Monkey’s Head and Yambushi Take, is a gourmet mushroom. Containing a unique flavor profile, the taste is dependent on when the mushroom is harvested. Based on the maturity of the mushroom, the moisture content, and cooking method, each factor plays a role in the distinct flavor.
Outside of the gourmet cooking world, Lion’s Mane has also been heralded for its medicinal properties. Recently awarded in Japan, the species contains Eninacines, powerful stimulators that support nerve growth factor synthesis. Shown to stimulate neurons, Lion’s Mane improves treatment for progressive diseases that inhibit mental capabilities.
Loom Products
While there are many medicinal mushrooms available in nature, Loom has kept its products focused on two specific categories. Because these two options have more scientific support behind their health benefits, Loom feels they are the best available species for their customers. A description of each product sold by Loom can be found below.
Reishi Tincture
Made with alcohol, water, and Reishi, this product is the flagship product of Loom. A cleansing product that can be used daily, the formula is made with the Reishi culture. For the best results, it is recommended that users add one or two drops to a glass of water or juice.
The Reishi Tincture is shown to provide a variety of therapeutic benefits to the body. Containing antioxidants, the formula has shown to enhance memory and combat premature aging. With its anti-cancer properties, the tincture eliminates the risk of developing degenerative illnesses and strengthens immune function.
Lion’s Mane (Fresh)
Made for cooking, Lion’s Mane is often used in gourmet dishes. Known for having a similar flavor to lobster, the mushroom can often be substituted for eggplant. A versatile mushroom, Lion’s Mane can be incorporated into virtually any recipe.
In addition to the delicious taste, the mushroom has also been used for its medicinal properties. Repairing neurological trauma Lion’s Mane has shown to produce Eninacines, which improve cognitive function by treating senility and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. For the best results, it is recommended that customers keep the product refrigerated at all times for up to a week.
Lion’s Mane (Dehydrated)
The dehydrated version of the fresh Lion’s Mane described above, this product contains the same flavors and health benefits. Boosting immune function, the properties can prevent tumor growth and support organ function.
With extended conservation abilities, this version allows customers to store the Lion’s Mane for longer periods of time. Ready to be added into a recipe, users can simply immerse the mushrooms into water for a couple hours to rehydrate them. Best stored at room temperature, the product can remain fresh for up to three months.
