Organic Reishi mushroom powder provides an easy and effective way to enjoy the benefits of one of nature's most renowned medicinal fungi. Reishi may help eliminate harmful toxins from the body and increase the production and protection of white blood cells. It is also an excellent stress reliever and can be combined with a relaxing tea or nourishing soup.
Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma) has been used as an ancient Eastern remedy for hundreds of years. Initially found in the remote mountainous forests of China, Japan, and Korea, wild Reishi mushrooms thrive in moist environments and shady conditions, typically found at the bases and lower trunks of deciduous trees. When fresh, they are soft and corky with a striking reddish cap.
Reishi is classified as a polypore—a term used for a type of fungus that lacks gills on its underside but releases its spores through a cluster of small pores. While the name "reishi" comes to us from Japan, the general name of the mushroom derives from two Greek words: "ganos," meaning brightness, and "derma," meaning skin. The species name, lucidum, is Latin (meaning shiny), and both parts of the name refer to the plant's natural shiny surface. There are six different types of Ganoderma lucidum: red, purple, green, white, yellow, and black. The red mushroom is said to possess the most therapeutic properties.
The Chinese name, "Ling Zhi," is more closely associated with the use of Reishi than its appearance. It literally translates to "herb of spiritual power" and holds a prominent place in ancient Chinese herbal medicine. Continuous consumption of Reishi is believed to enlighten the body, enhance the flow of qi (life energy), and prolong signs of aging. Legend has it that when Reishi's reputation as the "mushroom of immortality" became known, Emperor Ti of the Qin dynasty dispatched a fleet of ships to the East manned by 300 strong men and 300 beautiful women to bring this magical plant to his kingdom.
Due to its relative rarity in the wild, the use of Reishi throughout Chinese history was usually limited to the emperor, his court, and the wealthy elite. It also became a cultural symbol, prominently featured in many artworks, clothing, and decorations, used as a talisman for long and healthy life.
Today, Reishi is cultivated to be widely available as a medicinal mushroom with multiple health benefits. As modern science continues to explore the plant wisdom of the ages, the popularity of Reishi as a superfood continues to grow.
Organic Reishi mushroom is cultivated in a planting base located in the city of Qingyuan, known as the "mushroom city" of China, which has also been recognized as the best ecological environment in the country. It has been exporting products to Europe and the USA for over 15 years and is a technological leader in mushroom cultivation. Temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide levels, light intensity, and nutrients are closely monitored to maintain optimal growth conditions.
Organic Reishi is an edible mushroom and serves as a nutrient powerhouse with exceptional benefits for the body and immune system. It corrects imbalances in the body, helps the smooth functioning of all organs, and restores homeostasis. It is a source of vitamin C and has a high fiber content. In Chinese medicine, it is now prominent for treating fatigue, asthma, insomnia, and cough.
Ganoderma lucidum has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 4,000 years to treat liver disorders, high blood pressure, arthritis, and other diseases.
Once ingested, Reishi adapts to the human body and provides exactly what it needs at that moment. For example, it can raise blood pressure in hypotensive individuals and lower it in hypertensive ones; the same applies to cholesterol levels.
Benefits of Organic Reishi:
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES: Regular consumption of Reishi mushroom helps manage autoimmune conditions by calming the disease.
DIABETES: The polysaccharides, particularly β-D-glucans in Reishi, aid in preventing and gradually improving conditions in individuals with diabetes.
DETOXIFICATION: Reishi can assist in eliminating harmful toxins from the body.
ALZHEIMER'S: Reishi reduces acetylcholine levels in the brain, a substance linked to Alzheimer's disease.
CHOLESTEROL: Reishi contains triterpenes that help lower cholesterol levels and improve the ratio of good to bad cholesterol.
HEART HEALTH: Reishi promotes healthy blood circulation and helps prevent various heart conditions. It reduces blood clotting, strengthens the cardiovascular system, and regulates blood pressure.
METABOLISM ACTIVATION: Due to its natural antioxidant properties, Reishi activates metabolism, leading to more fat burning and aiding in the removal of excess fat from vital organs for better functioning.
CANCER: The polysaccharides in Reishi help suppress the growth and migration of cancer cells in the body. It is also beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as it has been shown to neutralize several side effects, strengthening the weakened body and immune system.
STRESS, ANXIETY, INSOMNIA: The interactive properties of its components allow for relaxation of the nervous system and help reduce anxiety, a significant risk factor for serious illnesses today. Reishi is recommended by both Chinese and Japanese herbalists as a remedy for insomnia.
ASTHMA: The anti-inflammatory properties of Reishi allow for relaxation of the muscles supporting the bronchial tubes, reducing the severity of asthma.
ENERGY & STAMINA: Reishi stimulates blood circulation and rejuvenates the body, providing energy that can be felt within the first 2-3 days. It oxygenates body cells and gradually improves all body functions, also combating anorexia.
ALLERGIES: Reishi inhibits the release of histamine in the body, making it an effective treatment for seasonal allergic reactions.
IMMUNE SYSTEM: Clinical studies have shown that Reishi contains some of the most potent components that destroy viruses and enhance the immune system by increasing the activity of macrophages (large white blood cells) that engulf harmful microorganisms and damaged cells.
LIVER: Protects the liver from damage and reduces any inflammation within it.
MIGRAINES: Calms the nervous system, controls pain and inflammation, which is particularly helpful in fighting migraines.
A significant number of studies in Japan, China, the USA, and the UK over the last 30 years have shown that the consumption of red Reishi has been linked to the treatment of a wide range of diseases. From asthma to shingles, the applications of red Reishi appear to relate to numerous organs and systems within the body.
However, most of the scientific research conducted strongly supports the role of red Reishi as a normalizing agent—a dietary supplement that may yield medical benefits through the normalization and regulation of the body's organs and functions.
The role of red Reishi in maintaining a healthy lifestyle can best be explained through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). While Western medicine focuses on "treatment" after the onset of disease, TCM, founded on over 2,000 years of human observation, focuses on disease prevention by maintaining the proper balance within the body through proper nutrition, exercise, and meditation. Reishi is a significant adaptogenic herb in TCM to help the body maintain this balance and also to restore balance when someone is ill.
