Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), one of the world’s best-known medicinal mushrooms, has been used by ancient Chinese healers for over 2,000 years as part of their healing practices. Referred to by them as the “mushroom of immortality,” its image can be seen depicted on paintings, tapestries, porcelain and other decorative objects throughout art history.

Reishi mushrooms should not be consumed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or by people taking blood-thinner medications, since medicinal mushrooms may temporarily lower blood pressure – something which could prove hazardous in those already with low blood pressure or taking medication for this condition. Furthermore, Reishi supplements may interact with certain types of cholesterol medications.
