Reishi is revered as one of the preeminent tonic herbs. Appearing in ancient texts more than 1,500 years ago, Reishi was considered the “Mushroom of Immortality” and the “Great Protector.” These names reveal the high respect given this mushroom, which grows on the decaying stumps of broadleaf trees or old plum trees. Reishi is considered to be of the highest class of tonics, and is used on a daily basis to support healthy aging, maintain overall resistance and promote mental tranquility and physical vitality. Numerous modern research studies have illustrated Reishi’s ability to support the immune system.

Reishi tonifies Qi and Blood, dispels Phlegm, strengthens all five viscera, especially the Liver and Heart, soothes and elevates the Spirit.
