DIY Liquid Morphine

You will probably never take another synthetic painkiller after you try this.

The ingredients’ main target is pain, but they have plenty of other medicinal properties that can help every single part of your body at once!

I’ll tell you about them below.

The first ingredient in the Liquid Morphine is Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera).

You’ve probably seen this particular herb trending on TikTok. People love it so much because it’s been proven to lower cortisol levels, which can also alleviate stress-related pain and tension as well. If you have rheumatoid arthritis, muscle soreness, and chronic pain disorders, a tincture made from this plant will benefit you greatly.

I was so surprised by the people’s testimonials, I decided to give it a chance. It has helped me recover from physical and emotional stress – and that’s because it also supports the adrenal glands. Withanolides, the active compounds in Ashwagandha, have been shown to lower the inflammation levels in the body.

Lemon Balm contains compounds like rosmarinic acid and eugenol, which have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. It’s these compounds that will fight stress-induced pain, migraines, and even digestive issues for you.

Thanks to is its sedative properties, Lemon Balm also promotes a restful sleep. This was game-changing for me.

The next ingredient in the recipe is Lion’s Mane Mushroom (Hericium erinaceus). 

This is another natural medicine I discovered because it was popular on the internet.

I like this mushroom so much because it doesn’t only help with alleviating my pain, but it also improves my cognitive abilities.It’s the only mushroom that’s able to successfully stimulate your nerve growth factor production. This means it can successfully protect and actively regenerate nerve cells.When you’re in pain, there are certain chemicals inside you called neurotransmitters that get released. These neurotransmitters signal pain to the brain. Prolonged exposure can lead to physical damage to these nerves – that’s why you probably feel random tingling, numbness or weakness in certain areas of your body.That’s why it’s particularly useful for people with multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia, like me, where pain is often linked to nerve damage.

The last ingredient in this recipe is called Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum). 

It’s also known as the Mushroom of Immortality.

It practically boasts of medicinal benefits, including pain relief. It contains triterpenes and polysaccharides, which have potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

It also has adaptogenic properties, which can be of use to people who suffer from muscle tension, migraines and joint pain.

If you’re in a lot of stress, it can also balance your cortisol levels and support your adrenal glands. This will promote relaxation and improve your sleep, which are two essential factors for pain management.

We'll be making a double extraction. This way, you get to extract both the water-soluble AND the alcohol-soluble medicinal compounds from mushrooms and herbs, which in turn will make your concoction much more powerful.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp dried Ashwagandha root
• 2 tbsp dried Lemon Balm
• 2 tbsp dried Lion’s Mane
• 2 tbsp dried Reishi
• 1 pint (500 ml) of high-proof alcohol (preferably vodka or over 80 proof alcohol)
• 1 pint (500 ml) water
• Glass jar with lid (mason jar or similar)
• Cheesecloth or strainer
• Dark amber glass bottle for storage

Preparation

First, you need to prepare the herbs. Chop or break them, then place them into your mason jar. Pour enough alcohol to completely cover them by about 1-2 inches. Close the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for 4-6 weeks. Make sure to give your jar a good shake daily to ensure maximum-extraction of the alcohol-soluble herbs.

Now, for the water extraction.

After the 4-6 weeks period has passed, you strain the herbs and mushrooms through a cheesecloth or a fine strainer. You then place the strained herbs and mushrooms in a pot with about one pint of water. You bring the water to a boil, then lower it and let it simmer for about 30 minutes to an hour. You let it reduce until there is about half the water left.

Once your mixture cools down, you strain the herbal material again, but in a separate container from alcohol.

Lastly, you combine the two extracts in a clean jar or bottle. You should have two parts alcohol to one part water extraction.

You transfer your combined tincture into a dark amber glass bottle to protect it from light. Label your tincture with the name and the date.

You can take about 1-2 droppers full 1-2 times per day as you might need.
