The Apán Mushroom & Natural Wellness — Education Center
In-depth guides on Apán — the wild Tawtnúk mushroom at the heart of Red Road Wellness — plus essential oils, supplement quality, and traditional plant wisdom.
Why Education Matters
Many people looking to improve their family's health have discovered essential oils. With so many options available, it can be quite a task to understand what is going on in the essential oil and natural health supplement industries. There is a valid reason why two products with basically the same labeling of Organic, Therapeutic Quality, and All-Natural can sell for $5.00 in one store and $25.00 in another.
We choose to source our essential oils directly from small farms growing the plants organically from around the world. Our organic and wild crafted essential oils are grown, harvested, and processed according to the highest standards. They are extracted for their full therapeutic potency to ensure maximum benefits.

Kraig B.
Tracy, MN · Age 52
In April 2020, I began experiencing serious health issues and was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. My care team discussed treatment options and ongoing medical management at that time.
Feeling overwhelmed, I began researching additional wellness approaches I could incorporate alongside my medical care. During that time, I came across information about functional mushrooms and began including them as part of a broader lifestyle and nutrition routine, along with dietary changes.
I continued with regular medical follow-ups and scans over the next several months. Over time, my scan results showed changes in my condition, and I continued working closely with my healthcare providers.
As of 2024, I feel significantly better in terms of energy and daily functioning. I've been able to return to activities I enjoy, such as playing volleyball and exercising regularly, and I feel more active than I did in previous years.

Traditional Knowledge
The Wild Apan Mushroom
The Native American Sahaptin Indian wild Tawtnuk Apan mushroom has been used for generations in traditional wellness practices. It is a certified ceremonial sacrament for use by all Medicine Men and Women in traditional Native American practices.
Unlike some other popular mushroom supplements, Apan does not contain the oxalates that may be a concern for some individuals.
"While I was studying to become a Medicine Man, I learned about the Apan mushroom. I asked my Medicine Chief what the therapeutic difference was between Apan and the Chaga mushroom I was familiar with. He said, 'Oh, the Apan is 1000% times better.'"
