Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been recognized in traditional Chinese medicine as “Mushrooms of Immortality”. Used to increase immunity, reduce fatigue and promote relaxation.

Studies have also demonstrated their ability to reduce stress and anxiety while improving sleep quality. Reishi tea offers an easy and delicious way to take advantage of all its beneficial properties.

Ingredients

Reishi mushrooms (known also as lingzhi and ganoderma tsugae) have long been used as part of traditional Chinese medicine to promote health and longevity. As powerful anti-inflammatories, antioxidants, and immune system stimulators, Reishi’s therapeutic benefits lie in increasing white blood cell count within your body to destroy pathogens or bacteria that could otherwise cause illness. You can consume Reishi fresh or buy them as nutritional powder, dietary supplements or tea.

Reishi mushroom tea can help increase energy, relieve stress and depression and even improve sleep patterns for people experiencing insomnia or chronic fatigue. It is especially effective at improving quality of restorative sleep for these conditions.

Tea made from dried reishi is available for purchase at many natural food stores or online. To create it at home, all that’s required to create it is boiling water in a pot with chopped reishi that has been cut into 1-inch-wide strips before drying in either direct sunlight or dehydrators using racks – it is important that as much moisture be extracted from it before it hardens into stone-hard chunks when dried – cutting reishi should take place within two days after harvesting; otherwise it will become difficult if completely hardened into stone-hard brown crusting over time!

Reishi can be decocted using both a small slow cooker and on the stovetop. Bring 8 cups of water to boil before adding your reishi and simmering on low for approximately one hour – you can do this several days ahead, and store any liquid left behind in your refrigerator up to one week later!

To create your tea, place the decocted reishi in an infuser or tea bag and steep for 10 minutes. Honey can help offset any bitterness from the reishi, while local honey is recommended since it helps alleviate symptoms associated with hay fever.

Reishi mushrooms have been shown to help lower blood pressure in some people, so those on blood thinners or scheduled for surgery should steer clear. Reishi may also interact with certain medications used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Reishi mushrooms contain beta-glucans, complex sugars that inhibit tumor growth while stimulating natural killer cells in white blood cells. While more human studies need to be completed, early studies indicate reishi may help treat chronic fatigue by improving energy levels and fighting free radical damage that leads to inflammation or other illnesses.

Reishi mushrooms can be found throughout the Appalachian region and are an extremely popular foraging spot for herbalists. You’ll most often find reishi (Ganoderma tsugae) growing on logs or stumps of dead hemlock trees, especially when their white edge turns maroon, and once their mushroom caps have spread out. They can be eaten raw, cooked or even made into tea for consumption – both methods being equally satisfying!
