Did you know that Reishi also goes by the name “Lingzhi”? In Chinese ‘Ling’ stands for divine and ‘Zhi’ for plant of longevity. The Japanese name is ‘Mannetake’ which translates as ‘10,000 years mushroom’. It is the most revered herb by Asian people throughout history.
Reishi reduces stress and fatigue and helps to chill out and is therefore perfect to take before a meditation.
Reishi (Ganoderma lingzhi) is also the top rated medicinal herb in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). There it is used to fortify the heart, the crown chakra (heaven) and as a “cure-all” to treat and prevent various diseases. Away from traditional use, scientific research verifies many actions thanks to many compounds which benefit the human body in various ways. Find some of the research further below.
The results of many hundreds of scientific and medical studies support traditional health claims.
Reishi is one of the few supplements that helps improve emotions, the spirit and the physiology of the body all at the same time. Studies show that Reishi has adaptogenic properties.

Further information

The bioactive components in Reishi have many health properties to treat liver dysfunction, hepatitis B, nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, ostheoarthritis, neurasthenia, insomnia, anti-histamine, asthma, gastric ulcers, atherosclerosis, leukopenia and skin cancer.

Triterpenes
TCM uses Reishi mostly to enhance immunity and as a health supplement. It actually produces an ‘entourage effect’, quite like CBD. A group of constituents called triterpenes are responsible for this effect. They positively influence various areas of the body. Many medicinal mushrooms interact strongly with the pathway of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Regrettably, the ECS was only discovered in connection with cannabis, hence its image needs improving. There are many other herbs from turmeric to echinacea that interact with it. Scientists really do understand how many of the 400+ polysaccharides, polypeptides, triterpenes, amino acids and some of the nitrogen groups in Reishi work, but what ECS does more than anything else is, that it creates a harmonic coherence that helps regulate our overall health.
