Organic Reishi Extract

Known in ancient times as the 10,000 years mushroom, or the mushroom of immortality, and perhaps the most revered “herb” in the Chinese medicinal canon. The three characters for the Chinese name for Reishi – Ling zhi – together mean “shaman”, “praying for”, and “rain”.

Where to start…. Reishi is a powerful mushroom, with a diverse biochemistry, making it difficult to summarise its myriad benefits! It has been implicated in managing stress (adaptogenic), improving sleep, and modulating the immune system. Immune system “modulation” refers to the ability of Reishi (and other medicinal mushrooms) to both stimulate and supress the immune system in a responsive way. In this way, Reishi can bolster the immune system whilst also decreasing inflammation that is often caused by an overactive immune response.

In traditional Eastern systems of medicine, it has been used for liver and kidney conditions, lung ailments, nerve pain, hypertension, and insomnia to name but a few. Its use dates back at least 4 millennia, and is one of the better studied medicinal mushrooms.
