"Private Reserve" Botanicals
The products listed in this section are from our own farming fields in India and Hawaii. These are organically-grown, obsessed-over plants that we cultivate and harvest ourselves, and proudly present the fruits of our efforts in this special section of our shop. It's taken us a few years to get our first crops, but the wait was far more than worth it, and next to the IAmShaman Grant, this is our proudest offering. The plants listed below are crafted from sheer passion for this planet and the preservation of rare and exotic botanicals, and it's one of the most rewarding experiences I've been a part of.
The list is growing, but for now, we have only our absolute favorite herbals, since space and capability is still quite humble. I hope you find as much joy working with these botanicals as we have had growing them...so enjoy! |
We use only organic fertilizers from start to finish, while sustainably harvesting and practicing very strict "crop rotation" as well, to give the soil a chance to recover and sustain it's nourishment to all the plants it hosts. So far, we carry an exclusive line of Blue Lily Absolute Oil (India), Whole Calamus Root (Hawaii), Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds (Hawaii), Kanna Whole White Leaf (India), Kratom Leaf (India), Reishi Mushrooms (Private Farm in USA), Wild Dagga (India), and Wormwood.
These alone have been quite an undertaking, but we couldn't be more pleased with the results! And, as always, we're open to suggestions, so if there's anything you want to see here, just let me know at shamanelf at shamansgarden dot com. Again, don't forget to have a look at the IAmShaman Grant; as with the Private Reserve sustainable plants we offer to help do our part in preserving this planet, the grant will allow someone else to help do the same in their small way as well. - Peacefulness, Bodhi

This absolute oil is an exclusive our shop, grown on our own farms in India. It has earned the name "Private Reserve"; a series of products that have to pass stringent guidelines to qualify for this rating. It contains many of the same alkaloids that Blue Lotus Absolute does, but each plant has its own unique characteristics. This is an amazing addition to your favorite herbal smoke, for added potency and effects that need to be experienced to be believed. It's also extremely popular as an added ingredient in massage oils. Take any massage oil (we actually prefer a scentless carrier oil as a base), and add 10-20 drops to every 8 ounces of oil, and this makes a sensual and scentual experience for both the masseuse and the receiver of the massage.

This organically grown Calamus root is another plant grown on our "Private Reserve" farming fields in Hawaii. We offer it in a form no one else does; as the whole root! - This ensures maximum potency, since there are volatile oils that can evaporate with improperly stored herbal products. This whole root was a favorite of Native American tribes and had many uses, including fighting pain and fatigue. The Cree say that they can take Acorus Calamus root and "travel great distances without touching the ground."
Native American Indians would simply eat roots in 1-inch sections as a medicinal, in 2-inch sections as an anti-fatigue, and in 6-inch sections as a visionary tool. Calamus has a certain sweetness as well as a sour quality and a heat like ginger or cinnamon. Again, these are WHOLE pieces of organic Calamus root that average about 4 inches long, not powder.

These organic, untreated seeds are imported directly from Mauii and inspected for freshness and quality upon arrival. These are our prized seeds and are getting more and more difficult to find each year. Don't be fooled by inferior seeds sold for less; these seeds have an average germination rate of about 95%. Sold by weight, not by quantity. Our seeds have been verified by an independent lab for authenticity and quality, and these are always sold first come, first serve. Orders are limited to 150 seeds per order per month. Orders for more will be cancelled.
Seeds of the Argyreia nervosa may have once been used in sacramental rituals in the Pacific Islands by high priests. But the beautiful plant that comes from these seeds is the truly magnificent thing about Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds. Properly cultivated this plant would make a beautiful addition to any garden.
Strictly NOT for human consumption and sold for cultivation only.

We started our own organic farm to grow the best Kanna in the world. We offer it not as a powder, but as natural, fermented and dried leaf. This amazing Kanna is not bitter like the powdered Kanna available everywhere else; it actually has a pleasant sweetness to it, and it can bring relaxation similar to Kava Kava without the fuss or messy extractions. This may seem like the wrong category for this product, but much to our joy and surprise, this Kanna makes a very pleasurable smoke, especially when added as a potentiator for other smoking herbs.
WARNING! Kanna is believed to act as a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI). Never use in combination with common psychiatric medications including other SSRIs (such as Prozac) and MAO Inhibitors.

This superior is Kratom from our Private Reserve in India. Tested to be THREE times as active than regular leaf, this is a Kratom connoisseur's dream. Here, we regularly work with just 3 grams at a time, making an ounce of this premium Kratom leaf far last longer than expected. We only have this in small quantities, so each customer is limited to 4 ounce packages at a time, which is why the 16 ounce option is missing. This is comparable to the "Maeng Da" leaf that is appearing on the internet, but we, of course, feel that our Private Reserve Kratom leaf is stronger and smoother.
This this product is not FDA-approved, so we offer it for external use only as an exotic incense. Not for human consumption. If you want to read more about our farms that grow all of our Private Reserve products, please look to our PRIVATE RESERVE page.

We started our own farm of Wild Dagga in India because we wanted others to know how amazing of a plant Wild Dagga can be. With our first Wild Dagga harvest, we now know how and why Wild Dagga got its name. No one has this "Private Reserve" product except for us becuase we grow it ourselves, and we are proud to offer it to you now. Comes with a set of instructions on how best to work with this amazing plant. This sacred plant has a very long history of use, and until we grew it ourselves on our own farm, we didn't realize and understand the full power and potential of this herb. We license this product exclusively to SweetSmoke Herbs for use in their smoking blends. Always favored for the hypnotic focus it gives, we truly believe that you too will see what has made this plant such a favorite among South African tribesman for so many years.

This Wild Dagga Flat Leaf is our premium Dagga product, picked by hand from our "Private Reserve", without the use of pesticides of any kind. Don't be fooled by other strains of Wild Dagga leaf that are not only typically less potent; some that we've found other seling as "Wild Dagga" has no Leonurine (the active alkaloid mainly responsible for the pleasant effects) in their product whatsoever.
This is the much sought after "Klip Dagga" strain, but hand-picked and cured flat for ultimate appearance and quality. This Flat Leaf Wild Dagga is ideal using as a relaxing smoke, or as an admixture to any favorite herbal smoking product. Wild Dagga is classified as a potentiator, euphorant, and visionary herb. But Wild Dagga is 100% legal in the United States, it's all-natural and does not contain any controlled substances.

The Artemisia absintium plant grows wild all over Europe and the US. The bitter component of Wormwood is an alkaloid, absinthin, which is separate from the essential oil, thujone. Absinthin is removed by soaking the plant in water or alcohol, but essential oils like thujone require distillation, fermentation, or fat to effectively remove them from the plant. Since distillation is illegal in most parts of the world, most choose to manually "distill" the dried Wormwood leaves by soaking them in alcohol for 1-2 weeks.
This Wormwood Tea Cut (Alpine Sweet) is a specially-grown species reknown for it's less-bitter taste that Wormwood is infamous for. We are proud to offer this particular strain, which we we use for all of our Absinthe Kits and Absinthe Recipes. Thujone, by the way, is structurally similar to the THC molecule but does not bind to the same receptor in the brain as THC does.
