Buddha Teas’ founders identified a gap in the US tea market for products that are healthy, organic, pure and tailored to specific ailments. Drawing inspiration from the Buddhist philosophy they designed teas that honor and protect our amazing planet.

This exquisite wellness blend includes four powerful tonic mushrooms (chaga, reishi, lion’s mane and cordyceps) combined with aromatic spearmint, lemongrass and rooibos with an additional hint of anise for optimal wellness.

Rooibos

Rooibos tea, known for its caffeine-free benefits and low tannin levels, has been linked with decreased risks of heart disease and cancer as well as increasing leptin secretion – part of how your body recognizes when you are satisfied.

Studies demonstrate that drinking rooibos tea improves lipid profiles, increases antioxidant status and lowers blood glucose levels in individuals who appear healthy or at-risk; additionally it has antimutagenic properties in human cells.

Rooibos tea is rich in minerals such as calcium, iron and potassium as well as flavonoids and vitamin C, all essential ingredients for good health. Studies have demonstrated its heart benefits by decreasing triglycerides and LDL cholesterol while raising HDL levels while simultaneously decreasing inflammation and helping prevent blood sugar spikes for diabetics. Furthermore, its anti-osteoclast activity inhibiting properties help improve bone health; aid digestion by soothing muscle spasms while alleviating stomach discomfort; it provides an excellent source of zinc which plays a crucial part in immune functioning; all making this beverage indispensable to good health!

Lion’s Mane Mushroom

Lion’s mane mushroom (Hydrolacrys erinaceus) has seen great popularity as a supplement, due to scientific evidence showing it can increase cognitive function and brain health. Benefits may include improved memory and focus, enhanced neural repair protection from oxidative stress and reduction risk for Alzheimer’s disease/dementia and decrease anxiety/depression symptoms.

Lion’s mane mushroom contains hericenones and erinacines, compounds which promote nerve growth and support the creation of neurons in the brain, making it an effective nootropic. Furthermore, this mushroom boasts numerous essential vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin and niacin) as well as manganese.

This mushroom can be added to smoothies in powder form, or cooked and added to soups and stews as an ingredient. Additionally, tea, tinctures, oil infusions or wine infusions with this fungi may all benefit digestion as an adaptogen; making sure no allergic reactions occur or interferences arise with medications like blood thinners. Before taking mushroom supplements it’s a good idea to consult a naturopathic doctor or certified nutritional counselor as soon as possible in case any adverse reactions arise from taking this or any other mushroom supplements in case any reactions occur; otherwise seek medical advice before taking this or any others mushrooms supplements as this fungi are known as adaptogens – meaning it buffer physiological impacts of stress on body systems while helping with digestion; prior consultation ensure no allergic reactions occur or any possible interactions exist with medications such as blood thinners etc.

Cordyceps Mushroom

Studies have examined the ethno-medicinal and pharmacological properties of different Cordyceps species. Two notable ones include Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris. While C. sinensis is widely used as an herbal medicine in China, C. militaris has also shown to improve physical performance among athletes.

Beijingers highly value these rare fungi; buyers often consider them more as status symbols than remedies. Buyers assess a specimen based on size, color, symmetry and ratio of stalk to body – with exceptional examples fetching six figure prices per kilogram.

Good news is there’s now an effective solution for cultivating rare caterpillar fungi in a lab: Chinese company Sunshine Lake has developed a method for harvesting and drying mycelium of wild cordyceps for cultivation, yielding mushrooms with similar medicinal benefits as those found in nature. Although not an ideal solution, this can help mitigate their extinction in nature.

Chaga Mushroom

Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) is well-known for its medicinal and antioxidant properties. Chaga tea in particular can help strengthen immunity while supporting cardiovascular and metabolic health, and is rich in phytonutrients, zinc, b-vitamins and digestive enzymes which may reduce inflammation, protect against cancer, boost energy levels and support skin health.

Researchers found that beta-glucans found in chaga extracts could effectively suppress oral cancer cell tumor growth by decreasing glycolysis and mitochondrial membrane potential levels, which then trigger autophagy and apoptosis in these cells. Furthermore, chaga inhibited activation of p-STAT3 and NF-kB which is responsible for cell cycle progression.

Research has demonstrated the many health benefits of chaga, yet before including it into your daily regimen it is wise to consult your healthcare practitioner first. We suggest choosing only wildcrafted and properly processed chaga to ensure it delivers optimal quality and minimize any possible adverse side effects associated with its consumption in high doses or in combination with certain medications.

Reishi Mushroom

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been used in traditional medicine to increase energy and promote health, making them known as the “mushroom of immortality.” Reishi mushroom shelf fungus have long been used as part of preventive measures and energy enhancement methods to boost vitality and enhance longevity.

Reishi contains over 400 bioactive compounds and may help provide anti-tumor, immunostimulatory, sleep enhancing, hepatoprotective and antiviral activities, among others. Reishi mushroom extract has also been shown to prevent blood platelets clumping together as well as lower low density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood sugar and triglyceride levels.

Reishi can provide relief for chronic fatigue that does not respond to sufficient rest, while also potentially decreasing stress and anxiety levels.

Spearmint Leaf

Spearmint is an herb with antiseptic, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in Vitamin C and containing potassium and iron, studies of patients with IBS showed spearmint could significantly decrease abdominal discomfort symptoms. Due to its compound menthol content, spearmint makes an ideal addition for breath fresheners, toothpaste, mouth rinses, chewing gum as well as cooling refreshing flavors that pair perfectly with many herbs and teas.

Additionally, lavender essential oil has been shown to support healthy blood pressure. Furthermore, its soothing effects have also been known to relieve stress and promote relaxation by binding with GABA receptors in the brain, while its rosmarinic acid helps decrease arthritis inflammation.

Lemongrass

Lemongrass is an essential herb in Asian soups, curries, and teas, easily available both fresh and dried from traditional supermarkets where other spices and herbs are also sold. Lemongrass makes an irresistibly refreshing dipping sauce for meats, chicken or vegetables served on a grill.

Lemongrass leaves and stalks contain high concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote good digestion, lower inflammation levels, and strengthen immune health. They’re an excellent source of phenolic acids and tannins which support proper digestive functioning while simultaneously decreasing inflammation levels and strengthening immunity. In addition, lemongrass provides Vitamin A, C, B5 and potassium; in addition to serving as an excellent source of iron – helping prevent anemia by aiding hemoglobin production in your body.

Aniseed is packed with iron, an essential mineral essential for producing healthy red blood cells and supporting nervous system health. Furthermore, this antioxidant has also been shown to lower oxidative stress which contributes to chronic diseases.
