Does Reishi Added to Coffee Make You Sleepy?
Reishi is an adaptogenic herb with a long tradition of use as a natural sedative sleep aid. Its natural sedative properties promote healthy sleeping patterns by relieving nervous system tension and improving quality sleep; also it has shown to balance hormones; this was one of the reasons it was included in China’s 16th-century Materia Medica as “Shen” tonic (to restore harmony to both mind and emotions).
Reishi mushrooms should be taken in moderation due to their naturally sedative compounds that help calm and deepen sleep. Studies indicate therapeutic doses range between 1.5-9 grams daily for adults; most supplements come as dried herbs, extracts or powders and can be consumed directly as supplements or in food and drinks.
Reishi can be enjoyed daily in many ways, including coffee. One convenient method for increasing daily reishi consumption is adding it into their morning coffee ritual; this makes taking in this essential health ingredient easy while simultaneously delivering a flavorful experience! Reishi-infused coffee may help relieve anxiety, combat fatigue and improve immunity – while delivering smooth flavorful drinking experience!
If you’re curious to try reishi-infused coffee, find one with an effective blend of fruit body and mycelial biomass to reap all of its many health benefits. Or experiment with various combinations such as adding Chaga for immune support or Lion’s Mane for mental clarity – they all contain different bioactive elements which may offer additional advantages.
