Reishi, or ‘lingzhi’, is a legendary mushroom in Eastern medicine, called the ‘mushroom of spiritual power’ or ‘mushroom of immortality’. It has a shiny red-brown cap and often grows on old trees in forests. Reishi is considered one of the most powerful mushrooms for maintaining overall health and longevity, having been used in East Asia for over two millennia.
The benefits of reishi mushrooms lie in their adaptogenic properties, which help the body withstand stress and fatigue. It supports the immune system, helps to normalize blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and has a calming effect that helps with insomnia and anxiety. Its anti-inflammatory properties are also used to alleviate the symptoms of chronic diseases. Reishi is safe for long-term use as it is not addictive, has no toxic properties, and supports the body's overall resistance to physical and emotional stress.
