Ever wonder why Reishi is known as the "Queen of Mushrooms" and “mushroom of the immortals”? Not only has it been used for millennia in traditional Chinese medicine to preserve health, support mental calmness, promote longevity and boost Qi (vital energy) — Reishi was also listed first among the superior tonics cited in the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, the oldest surviving Chinese medical text.
🍄 STRESS SUPPORT — Reishi is regarded as a powerful adaptogen particularly beneficial for supporting adrenal function and strengthening the body in cases of mental and physical fatigue related to stress.
🍄 CALMING — So revered is Reishi for its purported ability to calm spirit and mind, it has a long history of use by Taoist monks to improve meditation. In western herbal medicine, it’s used to promote calm and support sleep when restlessness and an overactive mind cause insomnia.
🍄 IMMUNE SUPPORT — This widely researched mushroom has been found to be one of the broadest acting immune-modulating botanicals, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiviral activity, and activating cells of the immune system.
