How It's Used

In Chinese herbal traditions, Reishi is known for its ability to nourish the blood, calm the spirit, and support lung Qi. It’s often used to promote balance by encouraging smooth energy flow and overall harmony.

In Western practices, Reishi is recognized as a powerful antioxidant, valued for its natural properties that support the body’s defenses. Its triterpenes contribute to maintaining gut balance, promoting nutrient absorption, and supporting liver vitality. Reishi is also cherished for its role in encouraging balance during seasonal changes.

Fun Fact: Reishi mushroom was once called the "Herb of Kings" in ancient Chinese traditions, treasured as a prized tonic for vitality and longevity, reserved for emperors.

“One of the main reasons I love Reishi is its ability to guide the body to a peaceful state of balance. Most TCM principles refer to Reishi as a Shen tonic, which loosely translates to a herb that nourishes the spirit. Additionally, adding Reishi to your night-time routine can help promote peaceful sleep.”
