REISHI MUSHROOM POWDER (100g)

'Mushroom of Immortality' or 'Eternal Youth'

Reishi or ‘mushroom of eternal youth’ is one of the most recognised medicinal mushrooms and has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In Asia it is a ‘symbol of longevity and happiness’. It is therefore considered ‘the King of mushrooms' in TCM.

Reishi, revered as the 'Mushroom of Immortality' by ancient herbalists, holds a special place in traditional Chinese medicine, renowned for its potential health benefits. Recognised as a Shen tonic, Reishi is believed to play a role in supporting a resilient immune system and fostering a balanced response to stress. It is admired for its potential calming effects, promoting a sense of equilibrium in the spirit and potential enhancement of sleep quality. Embraced as a versatile herb, Reishi is thought to offer support to the Heart, Kidneys, Lungs, and Liver, potentially influencing the Three Treasures (Jing, Qi, and Shen) and harmonizing with the five Taoist organ systems.

In China, Reishi is known as ling zhi, symbolising the 'spirit plant' or the 'tree of life mushroom.' The Chinese characters for ling zhi depict a shaman praying for rain, signifying its profound connection to nature. The Latin translation of Ganoderma, 'gano' (shiny) and 'derma' (skin), captures its regal and lustrous appearance.

Historically, Reishi was considered a rare treasure, often reserved for emperors and royalty. Its significance is depicted in Chinese art, temples, statues, and legends spanning millennia. Kuan Yin, the goddess of healing, is occasionally portrayed carrying a Reishi mushroom, emphasising its revered properties. This esteemed polypore was sometimes placed above doorways in the Orient as a protective talisman.

Rich in beta-glucans and over 100 distinct polysaccharides, Reishi is believed to offer a variety of potential health benefits. Triterpenes, responsible for its distinctive bitter taste, are extracted through our subcritical water extraction process involving steam and pressure, all while maintaining the actual integrity and whole mushroom in our powders. Consider incorporating Reishi into your wellness routine to explore its potential holistic benefits, promoting vitality and well-being.
