Organic Reishi

Reishi mushrooms, also known as Lingzhi, are a fascinating and highly valued species of mushroom that have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. Known as the "Mushroom of Immortality," reishi has gained a reputation for its ability to enhance overall health and wellbeing.

The appearance of reishi mushrooms is striking, with a shiny, reddish-brown fan shaped cap. They grow on trees and logs in forests throughout Asia, Europe, and North America. While their earthy, slightly bitter flavor may not be for everyone, reishi is often consumed as a tea, in soups, or as a dietary supplement.

One of the main reasons reishi mushrooms have been so highly regarded for centuries is their medicinal properties. They contain a variety of bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and antioxidants, which have been shown to have immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. Studies have also indicated that reishi may have the potential to improve heart health, reduce stress and anxiety, and enhance cognitive function.

Overall, reishi mushrooms are a powerful and versatile natural remedy that can be enjoyed in various forms. Incorporating reishi into your daily routine may be an excellent way to support your immune system and promote overall health and wellbeing.

Insomnia/anxiety  – One of reishi’s traditional names is ‘spirit mushroom’, as the triterpenoid components act as a sedative. Many herbalists value its benefits in cases of insomnia. It is also believed that the terpenoid compounds in Reishi help soothe the nerves and promote a sedative action that can positively affect neurasthenia and insomnia.
