Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been revered in spiritual ceremonies and herbal medicine remedies for their adaptogenic properties and immune system support properties.1

Mushrooms contain compounds called triterpenes that enhance oxygen intake and organ health, and water-soluble polysaccharides which boost immunity against disease.

Health Benefits

Reishi mushrooms, commonly referred to in China as Lingzhi or “The Mushroom of Immortality,” have long been revered for their health benefits and ability to promote longevity. Reishi is an effective immune booster with antioxidant properties known to reduce stress levels and boost energy. Furthermore, Reishi is an adaptogenic herb, helping your body cope with stressors such as fatigue or illness more efficiently and increasing resistance against illness.

Although reishi is available as a fresh mushroom, most people consume it through tea, tincture or powder form due to its woody texture. When made into tea form it’s much simpler and has many of the same medicinal benefits.

Reishi tea contains numerous health-promoting compounds, including fatty acids, phytochemicals and polyphenols. Reishi is an excellent source of antioxidants with several potential health advantages.

Reishi can improve immune function and has been proven to inhibit cancer cell growth. Furthermore, its adaptogenic properties make Reishi an excellent addition to your daily wellness regimen, whether that means morning or evening consumption – depending on personal preference!

Reishi can benefit almost anyone; however, pregnant women and those with certain health conditions, including high blood pressure or low blood sugar should consult their physician before adding nutritional supplements to their diet.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is one of the world’s best-studied functional mushrooms. Its intricate root system, known as mycelium, plays an essential role in decomposition and nutrient exchange between it and nearby plant life; while its fruiting body houses therapeutic properties. Mycelium and fruiting body contain polysaccharide compounds including beta-glucans which strengthen immune systems; in traditional Chinese medicine this mushroom helps balance Qi energy balance, providing overall wellbeing benefits.

Reishi not only boasts immune-enhancing benefits, but studies also demonstrate its mood-enhancing potential. Reishi showed promise in treating symptoms of anxiety and depression among breast cancer survivors; another research paper found that animals given extract from Reishi experienced relaxation similar to that experienced by human participants.

Adaptogenic Properties

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is one of the most revered mushrooms in traditional Chinese medicine. This ancient mushroom is considered an “shen” tonic that helps soothe heartaches and calm the spirit. Reishi may help promote longevity, reduce stress, maintain healthy livers, blood sugar levels and immune systems – as well as being an antioxidant capable of shielding against free radical damage.

Chinese experts consider Lingzhi to be the secret to eternal youth, with Taoist art dating back as early as the 1400s depicting it and it being included in China’s first Pharmacopeia during Ming Dynasty. Popularly dubbed as ‘Mushroom of Immortality,” this medicinal mushroom acts as an adaptogen, helping balance hormone levels, boost immunity levels and regulate all major organ systems.

Reishi mushroom extract contains many beneficial compounds, including polysaccharides, triterpenoids and GABA. Studies have demonstrated these ingredients can reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality and support a balanced response to stress. Reishi can even modulate blood pressure and decrease cholesterol.

Studies conducted recently found that giving reishi to cancer patients could reduce fatigue levels significantly, improve endocrine function, reduce side effects from chemotherapy treatment and boost cellular immunity response.

To ensure our reishi extract contains all of its benefits, we employ double extraction (also known as dual extraction). To extract these compounds and create a rich powder that can be used in teas, capsules, and more – this provides our customers with additional value as many mushroom products only offer single extracts which may only provide limited medicinal benefits.

Traditional Medicinals understands that wellness should be tailored specifically for each person and has created an organic herbal tea collection to meet individual needs. From balancing hormones with maca, to improving immunity with reishi and astragalus or aiding sleep with rooibos, we have something suitable to meet every circumstance at Traditional Medicinals; where proven plant knowledge meets cutting-edge herbal science to help you become the best version of yourself.

Safety

Reishi mushroom tea is an accessible and safe supplement, perfect for everyone in the family to enjoy. Prior to taking any new herbal product, however, it’s wise to consult your healthcare provider and get their advice. Furthermore, pregnant women and people with bleeding disorders may require special precautions before using reishi mushrooms in combination with blood pressure medication and anticoagulants.

Reishi mushroom can be taken in either powdered extract form, which can be added to tea or mixed into foods, or taken as capsules or tablets for a more concentrated dosage. Reishi is an adaptogenic herb which supports stress management while encouraging restful sleep; and powdered extract can easily be mixed with liquids like water or nut milk to make a tasty tea that’s easy on digestion.

When choosing a reishi mushroom tea, ensure you purchase an organic product made with responsibly harvested mushrooms from certified farms rather than wild harvests. Furthermore, try selecting products without fillers or ingredients known to cause inflammation; choose ones with Kosher certification, non-GMO status or gluten free certification for added peace of mind.

To reap all the benefits of Reishi Mushroom Tea, it is advised to consume 2-3 cups daily. Drinking this herbal beverage regularly can not only balance your mood and stress response but can also boost immunity and aid sleep quality. Reishi mushroom can also be added into smoothies and cooking ingredients as an optional flavoring agent for greater effectiveness.
