Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a mushroom with a long history of use in East Asian medicine. Known as “Lingzhi” in China and “Reishi” in Japan, this fungus has been revered for over 2,000 years for its health-promoting properties.
In traditional Chinese medicine, reishi is considered a superior adaptogen, enhancing the body’s resistance to stress and boosting overall vitality. It was historically reserved for royalty and used to promote longevity and spiritual potency.
Reishi contains bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and ganoderic acids, which contribute to its immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Today, reishi is widely used to support immune health, reduce stress, and improve sleep.
