About Us
AFRICAS NATURAL MEDICINE
The team at Mercurial lineal healing believe in the healing powers of cannabis and its potential as a wonder drug treating and managing a wide variety of modern ailments, without the dramatic side effects of traditional pharmaceuticals, so widely administered in modern medicine.
Following this belief, we have adopted a grow methodology staying as close to mother nature as possible, while maintaining stringent standards and procedures in line with international pharmacopeia.
Our water source on the farm is from an ancient artisanal well 120m below the surface, ensuring an abundant supply, requiring only particle filtration, fed direct to the plants through our state of the art fertigation system. Naturally occurring, beneficial minerals and trace elements found in the water forming part of the nutritional base fed daily to our plants.
Propagation, by way of our indoor clone and mother rooms prepare the plants for long sunny days in our high tech grow tunnels, taking advantage of natural sunlight, that can not be replicated by artificial light, and reducing our carbon footprint. Plants are grown in an inert natural medium, free of pathogens, in strictly controlled natural climatic conditions ensuring that the plants grow to their full potential, producing cannabinoid rich buds as nature intended.
Our IPM regime follows this same methodology, making use of companion pests, predatory mites and nematodes, that free range the plant canopy and root structures respectively, consuming all unwanted pests, negating the use of harmful pesticides that degrade the crop and damage the environment.
Cannabis has for centuries thrived in the wilds of Africa, less well known than the big five of modern times yet holding a revered space in traditional medicine throughout the continent.
As passionate Africans we believe it is time to take back our rightful place on the international stage, showcasing naturally cultivated cannabis to the world.
OIL PRODUCTION
Mercurial are proudly cGMP certified to extract full spectrum strain specific cannabis oils and to manufacture oil based cannabis products.
Our oil processing technology has been developed to complement our growing methodology. Our single station full botanical extraction skid is designed to focus on the terpenes, flavonoids, aromatics, and a list of other beneficial compounds as well as the full cannabinoid profile.
As cannabis occurs in a multitude of strains, each with a very specific “ fingerprint” we believe that strain specific full spectrum extractions unlock not only the full medical benefits of cannabis, but a full, rich flavored, aromatic experience for the decerning consumer.
The benefits of not using critically high temperatures or pressures allow the full profile extraction of compounds that have low flash points, terpenes, and flavonoids specifically, lost during traditionally adopted extraction methods.
Without divulging our full IP, the best way to describe it is “cold pressed” a term adopted in the pure fruit juice market to differentiate fruit juices derived from isolation style extraction methods or blends from pure botanical juice pressing….the final wine comes from a specific grape, grown in a specific soil under specific climatic conditions, finally cured and extracted in a manner known only by the wine maker…we call it pure botanical extraction.
It goes without saying that you can’t extract what is not in the source material…so pure botanical cannabis extracts need to be derived from high quality flower, this limits the yield, but significantly improves the final product….triple distilled…limited release…connoisseur..
