Description
Reishi ( Ganoderma lucidum ) is a mushroom widely used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine. It has been used there since centuries before Christ, and was known as "the mushroom of immortality."
Being rich in beta-glucans, it has immunomodulatory properties, improving resistance to diseases.
Reishi is rich in terpenes, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective properties. Some terpenes in reishi act as cytotoxic agents against cancer cells, inhibiting their growth.
In Japan it is used in cancer treatments, due to its positive effect on the immune system by activating macrophages and T cells (organisms responsible for fighting viruses, bacteria and cancer cells).
It is also used, under medical recommendation and in conjunction with anti-cancer treatments, because it seems to improve the results of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and it also protects the body from free radicals.
Reishi is a red, woody-looking mushroom with a bitter taste due to its ganoderic acid content. This acid reduces histamine production, thus improving allergic reactions. It is beneficial for asthma and for treating other respiratory illnesses.
Antihypertensive, anticholesterolemic, antiplatelet and liver protectant, helps regulate blood sugar and improves arthritis problems.
It is rich in vitamins, especially B5 (pantothenic acid) which regulates the nervous system, minerals and essential amino acids.
It has an adaptogenic effect, helping to reduce stress and fatigue. It has a sedative effect and helps improve sleep.
