Botanical name: Ganoderma lucidum
Pronunciation: RAY-she
Traditional Chinese Medicine: Ling Zhi
Actions: Adaptogen, Alterative, Anti-Allergenic, Antiviral, Immune Support
Overview: Reishi has been cited thousands of years ago in several texts and scripts as being a tonic for emperors. At one time this mushroom was specifically used under the prestigious vestiges of the ruling class, but it has since made its way into the pantries of us common folk. Traditional and contemporary Chinese medicine admire it as a tonic benefiting vital energy or "Qi". Reishi is a polypore mushroom, growing in damp, dark forests and the occasional rotting log. Modern day demand has forced its cultivation in Japan, China and the United States which is promising for the wild stands of Reishi. Our whole Reishi mushrooms can vary in size from approximately 4 inches to 10 inches in diameter.
Affinities: Cardiovascular System, Immunity, Liver
Medicinal Uses: Reishi acts as an alterative, which means that it supports the body in properly assimilating the nutrients from food, eliminating waste, and generally restoring the proper function of organs and tissues. This *tonic effect* gradually brings the body to a level of greater vitality and well being with a stronger resistance to disease and infection.
Benefits of Reishi as a Heart Tonic
Along with herbs such as ginkgo and hawthorn berries, reishi has an affinity for the cardiovascular system and is an excellent heart tonic. It simultaneously increases the flow of blood to the heart and reduces the amount of oxygen the heart requires to function efficiently.
This allows the heart muscle to perform its vital work with less stress and effort * which may actually prolong its lifespan. Reishi has also shown the ability to:
Neurasthania is a condition caused by nervous system exhaustion that leads to generalized fatigue, and reishi is often helpful in relieving the symptoms and countering the root causes of this issue. Reishi has also shown value in combating chronic fatigue syndrome as research confirms that many people experience greater energy and vitality after taking it.
Consistent dosages of reishi help alleviate insomnia by balancing the body systems in several key areas:
Benefits of Reishi Antioxidants : Reishi mushrooms are high in antioxidants, those wonder substances that bind to free radicals in the body and stop them from turning into cancerous tumors. Reishi*s anti-tumor and anti-carcinogenic activity has been proven by scientific studies. Patients in these studies showed an increase in T- lymphocyte counts and also experienced fewer side effects related to chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Additional Benefits of Reishi: Reishi is a natural antihistamine, which means that it can help relieve both seasonal and household allergies.
Reishi has an affinity for the liver, and studies prove its ability to improve the liver*s vital functions. At least one study has shown improvement in people who have hepatitis B with elevated bilirubin and liver enzyme counts. Taking reishi for three months brought these patients* levels back to normal.
As with any herbal treatment, consult your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your healthcare routine.
Choosing the Right Reishi Supplement
Reishi is considered a non-edible mushroom because it*s very tough and hard. For medicinal use, the fresh mushroom has been traditionally sliced, allowed to dry, and then boiled in tea or soup. This is still a perfectly effective way to get the benefits of reishi.
Dried reishi can also be ground to a powder and then boiled for tea, soaked in alcohol to make a tincture, or put into gelatin capsules.
Reishi Mushroom Dosage
Reishi Tea
Pour one cup of boiling water over 3-6 tablespoons of dried reishi powder. Steep 20 minutes, sweeten to taste with honey, and enjoy 2-3 times a day
Side Effects of Reishi
Because reishi helps the body to eliminate waste, it sometimes brings embedded toxins out of the organs and tissues so that they can be properly eliminated. For some people, this manifests as temporary, unpleasant side effects such as:

Taurus: There's a full moon in emotional water sign Pisces on September 1 that puts you in touch with your sensitive side. Your intuition is at its full capacity, so pay attention to your dreams and other signs from your subconscious. Those little feelings you're getting are leading you toward the direction you should be taking.
Gemini: A trine between your home planet Mercury in Virgo, the other sign it rules, and Pluto in earthy Capricorn on September 1 plants your feet squarely on the ground. Getting to the point is your main priority, and you have much greater attention to detail than usual. Resist the urge to criticize someone just because they aren't communicating in your preferred way.
Cancer: Your sensitivity reaches new heights during the psychic Pisces full moon on September 1. Whether you're committed to doing something small for a loved one or something on a larger scale for the world, your loving attitude during this lunation helps make the world a better place.
Leo: When the Virgo sun trines Uranus in Taurus on September 2, the practical earth sign vibes are undeniable. Solving problems now is a matter of logic, and using your common sense is underrated. Cutting through red tape is as easy as looking closely at the details.
Virgo: Your ruler Mercury is in your sign to start the month but quickly moves into beauty-loving Libra on September 5. You still value practicality and common sense, but things like manners and appearances are important to you now as well. You expect others to be on time and to say thank you and excuse me whenever it's appropriate.
Libra: Can the sensitivity from the Pisces full moon on September 1 bring up some things you'd rather not think about? Possibly, Libra, but pushing emotions to the side isn't a good idea now.

This classy energy put you in a great position to play ref between two fighting friends or act as a liaison between two combatant co-workers. Your sense of fairness is nondiscriminatory.
Capricorn: You don't lose your composure very often, but when passionate Venus teams up with exciting, spontaneous Leo on September 6, you come close! This transit encourages you to loosen up some of the rules you've set for yourself and live in the moment instead. Lose yourself in the excitement of love!

Pisces: The full moon in your compassionate sign on September 1 is a sign for you to be more empathetic and caring toward your fellow humans.
