How to Make Ganoderma Tea
Ganoderma mushrooms (reishi mushrooms) are known for their impressive anti-aging and health promoting benefits, including beta glucans that may help stimulate immunity and lower blood pressure. If you want an organic way to enhance overall wellbeing, try creating a Ganoderma tea infusion!
Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum or “lingzhi in Chinese”) has long been used as an ancient Chinese remedy to enhance vitality. A polypore macrofungus found on deciduous tree stumps throughout Asia, Europe and North America; such as oak, maple, elm ash willow willow are just some examples where this species grows on stumps of deciduous trees; it contains polysaccharides including beta glucans that have been thought to boost immunity while potentially curbing cancer growth.
Reishi mushroom is well-known for its ability to reduce blood sugar levels and boost energy, as well as having anti-inflammatory and sleep quality benefits. Furthermore, studies have also demonstrated its ability to increase sperm count and libido in men; making this functional food potentially helpful for couples experiencing fertility issues.
Reishi mushrooms are rich in antioxidants that can protect cells and tissues against free radical damage caused by free radicals, as well as being known to fight stress, improve mental clarity, boost the immune system, protect against heart disease and lower cholesterol. Reishi mushroom has also been shown to provide immunity against depression.
Reishi can provide maximum benefit through various means, but one of the easiest and most beneficial is drinking it as tea. Reishi tea can be prepared from dried reishi mushrooms or liquid extract; extract provides more concentrated amounts of beneficial nutrients that have proven their efficacy in many instances.
Reishi mushroom tea is simple to create at home. All it requires is a strainer/colander and some hot water that has been freshly boiled before being allowed to cool for approximately 2-3 minutes, so that its temperature has subsided sufficiently before pouring over your reishi. Allow this tea to steep for several minutes before pouring it over your mushrooms; sweeten with honey or sugar for extra sweetness if desired.
To maximize the benefits of Reishi tea, it should be consumed on a daily basis and supplemented with healthy habits like eating a nutritious diet, getting adequate rest and managing stress levels. These practices will enhance its effects while further contributing to overall well-being.
