The mushroom revered as the “Mushroom of Immortality”, Reishi is truly one of the most impressive medicinal mushrooms both in its potency and its wide range of medicinal benefits.

Reishi is a strong immune system stimulator and has been shown to be effective in treating cancer in numerous studies including those of breast cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma and lung cancer.

It has also been shown to provide relief from inflammation, arthritis, asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, insomnia, stress and has been shown to lower cholesterol. Reishi also helps to lower the damage done to the liver when exposed to toxins.

In addition to being used as a cancer therapy by itself, it is also useful as adjunct and adjuvant therapy helping to lessen the damage from radiation, making chemotherapy more effective, lessening the side-effects of chemotherapy and helping to restore white blood cell counts to normal levels much more rapidly.
