Originally used by indigenous peoples for health and longevity. It’s been documented and used in China, Korea and Tibet for many years in their medicinal care. Traditionally they didn't use cracked wall pollen so don't get sucked into thinking that you need this type of product. Cracked pollen has been used only in the last 30 years so it has a long track record of effectiveness in the non cracked form.

Fill a quart mason jar and cover with alcohol and let sit for several weeks
