Red Reishi Mushroom Tea
Reishi mushroom benefits include mood-enhancing, energy-enhancing and immune strengthening properties. It has even been called the “mushroom of immortality”, making an appearance in Chinese art and culture.
Reishi mushrooms may help reduce inflammation in the body and stimulate an effector white blood cell that targets abnormal — including cancerous — cells.
Sleep Support Tea
Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is an adaptogenic herb known for helping us cope with stress, sleep better and maintain more balanced emotions. Reishi is also an antioxidant packed with over 400 bioactive compounds shown to positively impact health, making this supplement accessible and available to us anywhere from dried form through capsules or tinctures.
Within 30-to-60 minutes of taking reishi, its mood-elevating effects should become noticeable. Some may experience feelings of euphoria or calmness that help dissolve stress; others may find relief from anxiety and depression. You should continue experiencing these benefits over time with consistent use.
Reishi has become one of the most widely used natural sleep aids due to its calming effect on body and mind, making it especially helpful for insomniacs or restless sleepers. Reishi also reduces length of time it takes to fall asleep as well as increasing NREM sleep time due to its ability to inhibit neural activity through GABA pathways in the brain – this may help decrease NREM time as well.
Reishi has long been revered for its soothing properties; more recently however, research has demonstrated its ability as an immunity-supporting herb. Reishi can boost white blood cell activity that fights cancer cells as well as promote healing in the heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs. Furthermore, studies have also indicated its anti-inflammatory properties; reduce fatigue; and help alleviate depression symptoms.

Reishi is an adaptogen known to reduce stress and promote sleepiness, while simultaneously helping balance energy levels throughout the day.

Reishi mushroom has both anti-inflammatory and natural killer cell stimulating properties, as well as being thought to promote natural killer cells that may help destroy cancerous cells. Test-tube studies indicate possible anticancer properties by altering genes or inflammation pathways; while clinical trials have indicated it may suppress colorectal tumors while increasing effectiveness of chemotherapy treatment for women suffering ovarian cancer.
Reishi tea should not be consumed on an empty stomach as its mild laxative properties may induce vomiting in certain individuals and even cause diarrhea if taken in excess amounts.

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been venerated in Eastern culture for their longevity and wellness benefits, serving as an important component in traditional Chinese herbalism practice and drawing interest in Western countries due to the increasing focus on functional foods as well as adaptogens that help the body manage stress better. Recently they’ve seen more attention thanks to western interest in adaptogens.
Reishi mushroom has long been known as a source of good health benefits, particularly its immune-enhancing abilities and capacity to stimulate white blood cell production, both of which play vital roles in fighting off infections and fighting off cancerous cells. One study suggests it may even promote anti-cancer effects; one such research project demonstrated it may stimulate an important anti-cancer component within white blood cells which targets abnormal (including cancerous) cells and eliminates them through cell death.
Reishi tea’s powerful immunity-enhancing benefits make it an invaluable addition to any diet, but especially those looking to increase immunity during flu season or an illness. Sip some reishi tea before bed for restful restful sleep or anytime throughout the day for its calming properties.
