The Queen of the mushrooms, the one and the only - Reishi.  ​​Regarded by ancient herbalists as the ‘mushroom of immortality,’ reishi is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to support healthy immune system function and promote a healthy stress response. ​ ​A famous Shen tonic, reishi is recommended to calm and balance the Spirit, and to enhance sleep quality. It strengthens the Heart, Kidneys, Lungs, and Liver - it is one of those special herbs that work on all Three Treasures (Jing, Qi, and Shen), as well as all the five Taoist organ systems. ​ ​If you are new to tonic herbalism and medicinal mushrooms, Reishi is a beautiful place to start with, she is like a big warm hug from your mum when you needed a reminder of how grounded, connected and strong you can be.  ​
