- A reishi tincture grounds the body immediately due to the preserved lipid compounds, known as triterpenes, which assist circulation for better oxygenation via the lungs that nourish the nerves, heart, organs and glands. Additionally, Triterpenes support circulatory cleansing and reduce the by-products of daily activity, such as cleansing excessive oxidation in cells and the removal of environmental toxins that will be metabolized in the liver.

- Reishi is an adaptogen meaning it works on nourishing and revitalizing the adrenals which can lower cortisol production, reducing stress and anxiety.

- Reishi is an antioxidant power house that makes it effective against unstable and harmful molecules that may be produced or absorbed by the body. These antioxidants are known to protect the function of the heart and the vascular systems.

- In classic Chinese tonic herbalism it is known that taking reishi calms us inwardly by releasing chest constriction, via the intercostal muscles which are between each rib, thus allowing freer breathing for greater peacefulness and tranquility.

- Wisdom is a longevity benefit of consuming reishi. Ancient Daoist monks regarded Reishi mushroom as ‘the vegetable of spiritual potency.’* They drank the brewed liquor of this sacred fungus by cooking reishi into a vegetable soup.* The monks recognized its consumption as an essential component within their practices; to promote health, healthy lifestyles, and longevity.

- Regular consumption of reishi promotes optimal use of the five feeling senses of the body, like smelling, hearing, tasting, feeling and seeing; as well as heightened self-awareness and discriminatory faculties of the sixth sense - the mind and its own capacities of clarity and cognition.

- Reishi is a pre-emptive immune tonic that supports the maintenance of health via homeostasis. It works as an immunomodulator, establishing itself as the building blocks to a strong immune system. Taking reishi consistently will allow for a fortified immune response to stress, sickness and change.
