Reishi

Reishi mushrooms have long been revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine as symbols of health, vitality, and longevity. Reishi contains polysaccharides, triterpenoids and peptidoglycans – substances which support immune function by increasing natural killer cell activity – as well as having antitumoral, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.

Reishi can strengthen your immune system through its effect on white blood cells–the body’s primary defenses against pathogens like bacteria, viruses and cancer. White blood cells surround invading pathogens to be attacked and neutralized by antibodies–protecting you from infection and illness. Reishi has even been found to increase white blood cell counts among those suffering from colorectal cancer thereby further strengthening immunity.

Reishi can contribute to heart health by decreasing inflammation levels and, thus, blood pressure levels; this in turn decreases cardiovascular disease risk. Reishi’s high levels of antioxidants help minimize swelling in arterial walls so blood can more freely flow throughout the body and bring essential oxygen and nutrition.

Studies show that reishi can improve both the quality and duration of sleep, aiding the body into entering into an established cycle of healthy restfulness. Reishi contains natural sedative compounds which calm nervous systems and induce sleepiness, likely the reason.
