Dig Deeper: Reishi Extract
Our Reishi Extract is a complete tincture that combines the full spectrum of active mushroom constituents for the most potent potion possible.
Reishi is known as ling zhi, meaning, “spirit plant” or “tree of life mushroom” in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
“Continued use of ling zhi [reishi] will lighten weight and increase longevity...it positively affects the life-energy, or qi, of the heart… Taken over a long period of time, agility of the body will not cease, and the years are lengthened to those of the Immortal Fairies.”
- Li Shizhen
Considered warming, astringent, nourishing, detoxifying, and tonifying, Reishi also offers adaptogenic properties that nourish and support the body’s response to both internal and external stressors.
Reishi is a mushroom of longevity and nourishment. As such, it is to be taken as a daily tonic over longer periods of time, during which, one can come to experience first-hand the enduring allyship of human and fungus as the reishi subtly supports, nourishes, and accompanies us on our wild journey through life.
Our Reishi is either organically grown (Ganoderma lucidum) or ethically wildcrafted (Ganoderma tsugae).
To use: as a daily tonic, take 2-3 dropperfuls 1-3 times per day
Ingredients: Reishi mushroom fruiting body (Ganoderma lucidum or Ganoderma tsugae), organic cane alcohol, spring water.
