Reishi (mushroom)

Ganoderma lingzhi, AKA "Reishi," is a well known and revered folk-medicinal mushroom used to make tinctures and teas. Nicknamed 'the Mushroom of Longevity', extracts from this mushroom have been shown to be effective in treating cancer, lowering bad cholesterol and high blood pressure, and as an 'adaptogen', reduces cortisol levels and the sensation of stress, improving sleep quality. Reishi tea has a bitter and earthy flavour easily made palatable with a little honey addition, or masked by coffee.
