Reishi Mushroom within Herbalism

Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is a safely used medicinal mushroom within herbalism as a liver herb and a restorative adrenal nerve tonic and qi tonic for the potent benefits to immune function.

Reishi mushroom is taken as a tonic to relax the body and lungs during breathing and to strengthen the immune system, especially from prolonged over-stress; it is also an effective adaptogen for stress-tolerance in adapting to good and bad stresses during daily activities. 

Reishi mushroom is a blood tonic when combined with nutrient dense complete balanced meals and vitamin and mineral supplements.

Reishi mushroom promotes immune system function, even including those who are weakened and sensitive. It promotes blood circulation in the lungs and supports clear and relaxed breathing. It is notable for relief of minor or seasonal allergies.

As a mild antioxidant daily detox herb that promotes liver health, reishi mushroom supports the body's ability to rest and recover from stresses and activities by supporting the removal of by-products-of-fatigue, toxins, other organisms, and damaged and/or non-functioning parts of the body. 

The vitalizing polysaccharides and relaxing triterpenoid constituents within reishi mushroom are responsible for their wide range of health supporting benefits: including the function of the immune system, lungs and breathing, and liver in promoting tissue cleanliness and tissue health throughout the body.

The combined constituents within reishi mushrooms detoxify the body through supporting liver function, relaxing tissues and organs, and assisting with mild and seasonal allergies.

As with many herbs, some undesirable outcomes may be encountered with reishi mushroom such as digestive upset, drowsiness, irritability, and tension.

No known harmful effect of taking the appropriate serving of reishi mushroom with complete balanced meals during pregnancy and lactation. Consult a healthcare provider when adjusting lifestyle, exercise, diet, and supplementation.
