mushroom coffee offers an effective solution for those seeking to reduce caffeine consumption without turning to decaffeinated drinks, which often contain trace amounts of the chemical methylene chloride used for decaffeination. Not only are mushrooms naturally caffeine-free but they have many health and wellness benefits that promote overall wellbeing such as relieving stress levels, increasing immunity levels, and encouraging good sleeping patterns.

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) are well known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune-boosting properties. As natural anxiety relief, they promote restful sleep and soothe frayed nerves while simultaneously providing immunity-boosting superfood properties to reduce fatigue levels, increase energy levels and enhance cognitive function.

Reishi mushroom coffee is easily made at home using dry powdered reishi mixed with ground or instant coffee and packaged as a ready-to-drink drink. While you can purchase it from stores or online retailers, making your own can often be more cost effective; its recipe can easily be tailored according to individual taste and desired results.

Add extra nutrition and health benefits with DIY mushroom coffee by including chaga mushroom as an immunostimulant, which may protect against cancer, prevent heart disease, strengthen immunity, reduce inflammation and promote skin health. Or try adding in lion’s mane mushroom which has been proven to enhance memory and cognitive function, is anti-inflammatory and may boost natural testosterone production which contributes to healthier mood and brain functioning.
