Reified in traditions such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Reishi mushroom is revered as a symbol of longevity and vitality. This adaptogenic fungus may help reduce fatigue, lower stress levels and promote better sleeping patterns [1]. Our tea blends these time-tested benefits of Reishi with soothing ingredients such as Rooibos and Cinnamon for an aromatic beverage you’ll look forward to sipping throughout your day.

Reishi Mushrooms

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) are often referred to as the “Queen of Mushrooms.” You’ll find these mushrooms in our tea blends, where their sedative properties help promote relaxation and lower stress levels for easier sleep at night and throughout the night. This means it should make falling asleep easier.

Reishi mushrooms have long been recognized for their therapeutic effects on health and wellbeing, including increasing immunity, decreasing inflammation and improving mood and sleep quality. Studies have demonstrated the mushroom’s biological activity stems from beta-glucan polysaccharides and triterpenoids that support strong immunity while decreasing stress.

Reishi can not only relax you, but it has been demonstrated to also slow the aging processes in your skin by increasing collagen production – helping to decrease fine lines and wrinkles – as well as lower high blood pressure and improve heart health. Furthermore, its powerful antioxidant properties protect cardiovascular wellbeing as well as guarding against free radical damage.

Reishi tea should contain an ideal balance of ingredients to provide both delicious flavor and effective health benefits. We advise looking for products using dual extraction to capture both water- and alcohol-soluble compounds for maximum effectiveness, and be sure to look for third-party certifications that ensure high purity and potency levels in their extract.

Reishi mushrooms are well-known for their natural stress- and anxiety-reducing effects, making it the ideal companion to sleep-inducing herbs like chamomile, lavender and rooibos. A combination of these herbs together with mindful breathing techniques and meditation practices may further assist with restful, deep sleep.

When purchasing reishi mushroom supplements or tea, we advise selecting products with organic ingredients and third-party certifications to ensure maximum quality. It’s also essential to carefully read labels in order to be certain you are receiving Ganoderma lucidum instead of something like Ganoderma applanatum or Ganoderma sichuanense; otherwise these may contain other species instead.

Rooibos

Rooibos (pronounced “roy-boss”) tea is exclusively grown in Cederberg Mountainous Region in South Africa and is the only tea that grows within this unique fynbos ecosystem, famed for its biodiversity and home to indigenous plants found nowhere else on earth as well as beautiful rock formations with ancient bushmen paintings dating back 6,000 years.

Rooibos tea differs from black and green in that it naturally lacks caffeine and tannins, enabling it to be enjoyed any time of the day without digestive discomfort. Its benefits include antioxidant protection and natural calming qualities as well as soothing skin conditions and sensitive digestive systems. Furthermore, it contains many of the same health advantages associated with green tea while being an excellent way for pregnant and breastfeeding women looking to reduce caffeine consumption.

Rooibos leaves are harvested during summer months and dried similarly to black tea, though with minimal oxidation taking place; making it much more shelf stable than other teas and herbs, lasting even years without losing its freshness.

Polyphenols and flavonoids found in grape seed have been linked to improved blood pressure levels and cholesterol health, and aspalathin, an antioxidant that may help balance diabetic blood sugar levels. Furthermore, grape seed also contains alpha-hydroxy acids known to contribute to skin health benefits.

This herb is increasingly becoming a healthy alternative to redbush tea and green tea due to its low caffeine content, anti-ageing benefits, high antioxidant levels, antibacterial and antifungal properties and belief of antibacterial/antifungal properties.

Rooibos tea is an excellent alternative to coffee for weight loss, as its ingredients have been shown to reduce appetite, increase leptin secretion (which tells your brain you are full), and prevent new fat cells from developing. Furthermore, its beneficial balancing effects on your endocrine system and lack of stimulants has been said to aid sleep quality and ease symptoms associated with stress and anxiety.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is an essential ingredient in both sweet and savory food and beverage products, both sweet and savory alike. Crafted from the inner bark of trees belonging to the Genus Cinnamomum, cinnamon can be found worldwide as an ingredient in baked goods, snacks, breakfast foods, tea and traditional dishes – its aroma derived from essential oil of Cinnamaldehyde as well as other compounds like Linalool and Eugenol; historically more valuable than gold for Dutch East India Company back in its day!

Nowadays, you are most likely to encounter cinnamon in the form of cassia in grocery store spice sections and grocery store spice aisles. Commonly known as cinnamon stick, its thick and dark appearance with rough textures are distinctive of true cinnamon flavor; however, cassia doesn’t possess all of its health benefits found with true cinnamon found at specialty spice shops or online – instead it contains higher amounts of coumarin which can potentially damage livers over time when consumed regularly.

Cassia and true cinnamon have both long been used as spices and medicinal herbs, warming to the body while aiding in digestion and helping balance blood sugar levels. Both also possess antimicrobial, antifungal and antioxidant properties.

Both herbs can be found in our mushroom sleep tea, in combination with other soothing ingredients like chamomile and skullcap, for an effective combination that promotes good sleeping habits while supporting an efficient immune system.

Lion’s Mane mushroom, well-known for its brain-boosting benefits, was included as an extra add-on in this tea for added goodness. It may improve focus, memory, and cognitive performance by stimulating Nerve Growth Factor production.

This tea is intended to promote healthy sleep patterns and increase overall quality of life, providing relaxation and unwinding benefits, or giving athletes who require mental reinforcement a mental edge. Or take it in the morning for increased focus and performance! Enjoy!

Licorice Root

Licorice root may be best known for its use as an ingredient in candy and sweet treats, but it also holds great promise as an anti-inflammatory and expectorant medicine. Licorice contains an active compound called glycyrrhizin that acts to loosen mucus from airways while relieving coughs and congestion symptoms.

Licorice has long been used in both Eastern and Western herbal medicine for thousands of years, dating back almost 4,000 years when the Code of Hammurabi mentioned its healing powers. Today, Chinese and Indian medicines incorporate it as an integral component.

Beauty Tea contains the adaptogen Glycyrrhiza glabra as one of its adaptogens; this herb is well known among naturopathic doctors for improving digestion and alleviating throat discomfort, but less well known is that licorice root also benefits both adrenal and immune systems and may be especially helpful during cold and flu season.

Licorice root has long been used for soothing respiratory system ailments. Research shows that its active ingredient, glycyrrhizin, may help decrease overactive goblet cells and mast cells found in people suffering from asthma and allergies (7).

Licorice can also act as a powerful anti-inflammatory for the digestive tract, helping prevent indigestion, stomach ulcers and H. pylori infections.

A combination of rooibos, tulsi and licorice root can help improve sleep quality, soothe coughs or colds and build immunity. But remember: herbs don’t cure insomnia – they simply provide momentary relaxation that may help calm the mind. To find the ideal herbal tea blend for sleep, it is important to consider both health benefits of each ingredient as well as your individual body needs.
