Regarded by ancient herbalists as the ‘mushroom of immortality’, modern herbalists love reishi for its powerful adaptogenic qualities. Reishi is used to support the immune system, relieve stress, strengthen the spirit, calm the mind and promote peaceful sleep.
Reishi is one of the most revered medicines in history. Known as Ling zhi in China, the folklore surrounding this magical adaptogen describes the reverence the ancient Daoists (Taoists) had for this life-enhancing mushroom. Ling zhi means “spirit plant” or “tree of life mushroom”. Reishi really is a supreme protector on every level - spiritually, mentally, physically and immunologically. Today, the medicinal mushroom is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, cardiovascular support and as a powerful immune tonic.
