Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is an exquisite medicinal mushroom renowned for its soothing effects and sleep-inducing abilities. Additionally, Reishi’s many benefits include reduced stress levels, increased energy levels and better immunity function. Furthermore, Reishi contains beta-glucans – natural polysaccharides which work by activating immune systems against infection as well as managing other health conditions – making Reishi an invaluable asset to any holistic medicine regimen.

Reishi has been proven to interact with the GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) pathway, a neurotransmitter which reduces neural activity and facilitates sleepiness. Reishi’s soothing properties and ability to promote restful slumber make it an integral component of many sleep supplements as well as coffee blends like mushroom coffee.

Probiotics have been widely touted for their ability to aid combating fatigue, cancer and autoimmune diseases such as myasthenia gravis and multiple sclerosis. Probiotic supplements have become popular for managing stress levels while improving mood and cognitive function and increasing longevity; furthermore they may even prevent viral infections, high blood pressure, diabetes, altitude sickness and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Reishi may also possess anti-aging benefits, as its antioxidant effects help fight off oxidative damage that leads to visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and reduced skin elasticity, as well as cognitive decline. Reishi has even been recommended as part of cancer patient treatments to support healthy immunity during radiation or chemotherapy therapy and mitigate its side effects – though research on its efficacy for this purpose remains limited.
