How Make Reishi Mushroom Tea
Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum and its species) has long been revered for its healing properties and revered by herbalists and emperors alike as the Mushroom of Immortality. Also referred to as Lingzhi in China, one of its few ingredients found its way into Shennong Ben Cao Jing or “herb of Spiritual Potency,” meaning it can help reduce occasional stress while improving general well-being. Recent research supports its efficacy for maintaining health maintenance; benefits have included reduced occasional stress while increasing general well-being as well as long history of using as functional mushroom medicine to support health maintenance practices – supported by studies that support its benefits for stress reduction as well as general well being.
Support healthy cell growth and immune system function while also increasing energy levels and supporting cardiovascular health. According to some studies, it may also lower cancer risks.
One way to benefit from the many health advantages offered by Reishi mushroom tea is through drinking it as tea. Reishi mushroom tea can be made using either dried fruit or powdered fungus and provides a relaxing beverage or sleeping aid due to its soothing qualities.
Reishi can also be found as an antioxidant-rich beauty supplement thanks to its anti-ageing benefits. Studies have demonstrated its ability to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, promote youthful-looking skin, neutralize free radicals that cause oxidative stress, boost skin elasticity, encourage hair growth and even inhibit DHT (5-alpha-reductase). For men this can even prevent male pattern baldness!
However, it should be noted that there is insufficient scientific data on reishi to set an appropriate daily dosage. Dosage that exceeds recommended limits could increase blood pressure or interfere with certain medications – it’s best to consult a healthcare professional prior to making changes in diet or supplement regimen.
Reishi mushroom tea can be easily prepared by boiling dried fruit or powdered reishi in water for two or three times daily – whether as an energy boost in the morning, or to relax before bed. It’s advised to drink this soothing beverage two or three times each day for optimal health benefits.
Reishi tea combines the benefits of rooibos leaves and cordyceps mushroom to provide a caffeine-free blend, rich with essential nutrients that will leave you feeling healthier on both ends.
