Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma Lucidum, Lingzhi) – 25g

Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum, also known as Lingzhi) offers a wide array of potential health benefits. Known as the “mushroom of immortality,” it may improve circulation, help break down blood clots, and widen blood vessels, thus enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. This can contribute to cardiovascular health and potentially reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Reishi also exhibits expectorant properties, may alleviate allergy symptoms, combat chronic fatigue, and help manage stress and depression. Furthermore, it’s believed to boost the immune system, fight viruses, and possess strong anti-tumor properties, potentially reducing both benign and malignant tumors. It may even enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Reishi may also improve cardiovascular function by reducing pain, increasing vessel elasticity, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and preventing clot formation. It may also benefit the central nervous system by calming overactivity without causing drowsiness, offering potential support for neurological and psychiatric conditions, including epilepsy. Traditionally used to treat respiratory illnesses, Reishi may help alleviate symptoms of lung conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia. For use, steep 2 tablespoons in 500ml of boiling water for one hour. Drink 100ml three times daily between meals. A three-month treatment course, followed by a one-month break, is recommended.
