Meet Justice, one of our long-time team members here at Synergy Herbal Works, Tennessee’s largest herbal apothecary and handcrafted wellness destination. Justice quietly keeps everything flowing behind the scenes, and we’re so grateful for her!

Over the years, she’s worn many hats at Synergy, each one filled with grace and care. These days, Justice assists in our manufacturing department, helping with the intricate details of production, record-keeping, database entry, and product labeling. She’s often working when the rest of us aren’t, keeping things clean, organized, and humming along so that every tincture, tea, and salve is crafted in harmony.

We may not always see Justice front and center, but we always see the results of her heart and dedication throughout the apothecary. Whatever she does, she does with intention and excellence, an essential part of what makes Synergy special.

Hello, it's Sherri again! I'm back with another harvest post, but first, I want to express my gratitude to my Synergy team and to all the friends and customers who took the time to send such kind words and messages for Boss’s Day. Your encouragement truly warmed my heart.

Now, let’s dive into my Harvest Find: Turkey Tail!!!

Turkey Tail mushrooms (Trametes versicolor) are among the forest’s most stunning gifts. I usually gather them in the fall and winter months. These velvety, colorful fans grow on fallen hardwoods, serving as a reminder that God’s creation offers both beauty and medicine.

Traditional herbalists and Appalachian healers have used Turkey Tail as a longevity tonic, brewing it into teas and decoctions to help build resilience during the winter.

A simple way to incorporate Turkey Tail into your diet is to add it to soups while they are simmering. You can also combine it with other medicinal mushrooms like Reishi and Chaga. Place these mushrooms in a pot on the stove along with warming herbs such as cinnamon, cloves, and fresh ginger root. Let the mixture simmer well, and take cups from the pot as needed. Add more water and continue simmering for each additional cup. A well-simmered pot will yield a dark-colored broth. Keep adding water and simmering until the liquid resembles the color of stump water, then discard and start over.

Herein lies the trick with Turkey Tail: Long, low, and slow cooking is essential to break down the chitin and release the healing polysaccharides.

Synergy Herbal Works offers a “Woodland Wellness Broth” bag that includes these mushrooms, making it easy to add health to your winter soups and stews, especially when you can't venture out to gather it for yourself.

Turkey Tail contains two remarkable compounds, PSK (polysaccharide-K) and PSP (polysaccharide peptide), which are being studied for their ability to support immune balance, strengthen gut health, and promote healthy cellular responses.

PSK has been used for decades in Japan as an adjunct therapy in cancer care, with studies showing enhanced immune recovery and improved outcomes when combined with conventional treatments.

PSP supports the body’s natural defense system by stimulating natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, and cytokine production, helping the immune system stay alert and balanced.

Research also indicates that these polysaccharides modulate gut microbiota, promoting beneficial bacteria and improving immune communication through the gut-brain axis.

At Synergy Herbal Works, we craft Turkey Tail into dual-extraction tinctures for our Apothecary and Retail Shop. Each product we provide is formulated to honor both creation’s wisdom and scientific validation, helping your body find balance as it was designed to.

As I gather these forest treasures, I'm reminded once again that healing was woven into creation long before we ever gave it a name.

Rooted in Creation. Guided by Faith. Backed by Science.
