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 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.
Also known as Ganoderma lucidum, reishi is a very safe adaptogen; that means it has the glorious ability to calm the body down, while simultaneously revitalising it. There are six varieties of reishi (black, white, green, yellow, purple and red) according to ancient texts (although some are in fact not in the Ganoderma family); at SuperFeast, we use the red type. Reishi is a type of mushroom also known as a polypore.
Reishi is perhaps one of the most well studied herbs of the modern pharmaceutical and clinical scientific worlds. If you do some of your own scouting online (see Google Scholar), you will quickly see the growing evidence that shows the incredibly potent effects of reishi on many levels of health. Through laboratory testing and validation, the red variety of reishi continues to be the most prized and medicinally beneficial of all.
