Superfeast Reishi 100g Miron Glass Jar
Reishi really is a supreme protector on every level - spiritually, mentally, physically and immunologically. Today, the medicinal mushroom is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, cardiovascular support and as a powerful immune tonic.
Reishi strengthens the immune system by enhancing the monocyte, macrophage and T lymphocyte activity. Furthermore reishi has been shown to increase the longevity and strength of white blood cells (WBC), supporting both the quality and quantity; these cells are significantly lowered during harsh treatments. Reishi has further been shown to protect from radiation and has anti-angiogenesis activity (meaning inhibits the growth of new blood vessels).
The increase of WBC is particularly interesting with regards to cold and flu, reishi can be effective in preventing but also shortening the lengths of flu.
Reishi not only stimulates the immune system once it is weakened, but more so, reishi helps to 'wake up' the immune system prior to full disease, actually preventing it. So how does reishi work in the body? It is thought it is the high polysaccharide content in reishi that lends itself to its potent immune modulating benefits. For those with Candida albicans, reishi has been shown to help balance candida levels. (Make sure to check out our epic article on a candida protocol here). It's also these powerful polysaccharides are known to increase DNA and RNA in the bone marrow (where some of the immune cells are made).
This magical mushroom has long been used to improve cardiovascular health, including to reduce LDL and VLDL cholesterol and lower high blood pressure. Clinically it has been shown to prevent and treat shortness of breath and hardening of the arteries.
Acting as an adaptogen, reishi provides an individual with protection from various biological, environmental and social stresses. This herb is a wonderful anti stress gift. The adaptogenic triterpenes in particular have a harmonising effect on both the immune system and circulatory system, thus helping with mental tension, memory and general stress. Mental imbalances can be supported with reishi use; psychological stresses noticeably improve.
Reishi has a calming effect and will relax the central nervous system, helping with insomnia, anxiety and general restlessness, promoting feelings of peacefulness. Reishi can be particularly effective for menopause if anxiety is present. Plus reishi before bedtime, for sleep, can be a particularly beneficial practice to uphold.
Reishi works as an antioxidant against free radicals, the ganoderic acid provides anti-inflammatory effects for cells, leading to an overall decrease in physical stress to the body.
Reishi is particularly effective for allergic asthma and alleviating allergies and excessive coughing. How does it do this? The ganoderic acid in reishi inhibits histamine release and for anyone who knows about allergies, histamine plays a key role.
The use of reishi in pregnancy is steeped in tradition and empirical knowledge, having been used for thousands of years. Traditional uses saw reishi providing a calming anchor for mothers during pregnancy, as well as during the birthing process.
Master Herbalist, Ron Teeguarden reports that pregnant women in Asia seek reishi as an immune builder for themselves and their foetus. Teeguarden spoke of "reishi babies," babies whose mothers took reishi throughout pregnancy. "I saw some of these children, older and newborn, and they appeared uniformly calm and focused. The infants had little or no inflammations on their face or hands, cried little, and appeared to take in their surroundings with incredible acuity."
Ingredients
Wildcrafted, duan-wood grown, dual-extracted red reishi fruiting body extract powder, 10:1. Not irradiated. No added grains, fillers, starch, or mycelium.
Serving Suggestion
You can add reishi to ANYTHING. Reishi is relatively bitter, with slight umami undertones. So savoury meals (think chocolate, broths, bolognese, curries and soups are a nice fit). And remember, it is not heat sensitive.
Stir into hot water or milk for an instant tonic tea. We love it in warm milk before bed with honey. Always use a dry spoon.
