Reishi grows in summer and fall on conifers and hard wood. Revered and used for centuries in Asian cultures, Reishi is considered the fountain of youth and a gentle heart opener.  This mushroom contains multitudes——the multitudes of the forest. Over 400 different physiologically active compounds have been isolated from Reishi Mushrooms. Polysaccharides and triterpens are 2 major groups of bioactive constituents with a broad spectrum of actions, such as immunomodulatory, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antihypertensive, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidative, radical-scavenging, and chemo- and radiopreventive effects. The diversity of biologically active components of Reishi contributes to its possible influence on the central nervous system. Reishi was used in traditional eastern medicine as a tranquilizing agent for the treatment of insomnia and restlessness. Reishi has been known to kill cancer cells, balance hormones, restore quality sleep, and proper function to the immune system- Regular use of Reishi mushrooms can stop the stress response in the body and fight free radicals. Reishi Mushrooms have been called it a subtle psychedelic, as they can gently open a person up to perceiving more of the wholeness of our universe. Reishi’s terpenes and Polysaccharides are most soulable in water, so make a decoction or tea.
