Reishi mushrooms have long been revered in Asian countries for their ability to promote radiant health and cultivate an uplifting, relaxed state of being. Reishi mushroom acts as an adaptogen, helping regulate stress hormone release which may impact our emotions as well as protecting against various forms of diseases.

Reishi is a natural sedative with many naturally calming compounds that work with the nervous system to produce feelings of calm and drowsiness, encouraging healthy sleeping patterns while improving both quality and quantity of restful slumber – as well as increasing morning energy levels.

Studies have demonstrated its ability to help increase white blood cell counts, strengthening immunity and protecting against infection. Mushrooms contain beta-glucans – natural polysaccharides known for activating and stimulating immunity.

Reishi may help the body produce antibodies to fight against pathogenic organisms like bacteria and viruses. When this process occurs, killer cells become active to attack these pathogens and destroy them.

Reishi can be found growing on logs and stumps of deciduous trees – particularly maples and oaks – in forests across Asia, Europe and North America. It has an attractive “fanned out” appearance similar to that of turkey tail feathers which gives it its name. Reishi is an adaptogen and immune booster, boasting hundreds of bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides and triterpenes which provide anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunostimulatory and hepatoprotective benefits.
