Amy’s Opinion: I’ll admit that though I like mushrooms, I’m not a huge fan. The thought of taking some tincture of mushroom extract into my mouth,
left me, well, let’s just say I had a glass of juice in the other hand. Much to my surprise, it wasn’t bad, almost pleasant actually. Certainly better tasting than the herb, Goldenseal, which I’ve taken over the years. Why did I bother to try it, you ask?

Well, the health benefits of Reishi mushrooms are so amazing I had to try it. Reishi is known to help heal asthma, and other respiratory complaints, and it has a healing effect on the lungs. I can tell you from first hand experience, it dramatically healed the sinus infection that was trying to take hold in my body years ago. Three days of reishi extract (twice per day), lots of rest,
water, and Emergen-C Vitamin C packets, and I felt normal and healthy again. (I ate food too, of course…) My nose never got stuffy, the gunk just drained out (I know, I know it’s gross, but true). I am sold. But, there’s more to Reishi’s healing potential.

For many years, the Chinese and Japanese have used reishi mushrooms to treat liver disorders, hypertension, and arthritis. Through in vitro and human studies, research has shown that reishi has anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties. In vitro experiments
also indicate that reishi may help fight cancer tumors. In addition, a protein isolated from reishi – Ling Zhi-8 may reduce the risk of transplant rejection. Reishi is also believed to help transform the individual into a more spiritual being. Wow, how can you go wrong with this stuff? As with any natural supplement or vitamin, please consult your holistic physician. I recommend it based on my own experience as a very healthy individual.

Properties: Alcohol-based medicinal mushroom extract, made from
certified organically grown mushrooms and pure mushroom mycelium cultured on certified organic brown rice. Can be consumed directly or mixed into your favorite beverage. Recommended use: 15 to 30 drops, twice per day.

The only contraindication that I’m aware of is that if you are on a blood thinner, you should not take reishi. Also, it’s a good idea to check with your doctor before you take any supplement
