Reishi Mushroom: A Real Superstar

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

So in this piece we're going to talk of and find out about one of my favorite herbs in history, and in fact possibly the most important herb on the planet. And why I say that, why I make that claim, is that this herb is the most scientifically analyzed of any herb ever known, ever studied, etcetera. On top of that, it is one of the most revered, if not the most revered, herb of all of traditional China. And naturally that herb is none other than reishi mushroom. Again, it is one of my favourite herbs and an herb that I have worked with rather a lot during the past 8 or so years. It is one herb that I've gotten a large amount of actually solid feedback about and I've heard just plenty of great success stories.

When it comes to the immunological response and lots of the other systems in the body, what makes reishi so dynamic and so amazing is it's whats considered to be twin directional. And they have fundamentally worked out that reishi has 600-900 different chemicals. From that, they've understood, at least scientifically, that reishi modulates about 300 or so different processes in the body. Which, that sure is a lot…there’s a lot going on there, particularly purely for the one herb. But in particular what makes it so amazing is that, in the context of the immune reaction, it's not an immune stimulator like a large amount of herbs, and it is not an immune depressant like a lot of herbs and substances also.

What makes it special and unique is that it is an immune regulator, or an immune modulator. So when we have got a weakened immune condition, depressed immune condition, it can then bring that up and strengthen that part of our immunity mechanism. And if we have a part of our immune reaction which is unjustifiable or if we have allergies or autoimmune things, it can kind of calm that down and aid in bringing that back to balance. And that is truly the overreaching thing, is reishi helps to just balance the immune system. And over the passage of time make the immunological reaction stronger, better, and better.

Herbs like Reishi Mushroom tend to live in very stressful, very threatening environments, much like we do, and they've an intelligence, they've got an immune system similar to ours, and they must fight off lots of the same attackers, if not more so than we do.

You believe, like reishi for instance, grows on a crumbling log in an exceedingly clammy forest. Now when you believe damp and moist, customarily what is evoked is fungus, bacteria, mosquitoes, bugs, and just not a hospitable environment. So in order for reishi to survive and to reproduce and to live, it has to fight off all of these things. Same thing with chaga and cordyceps. So these mushrooms have an intelligence because they themselves have to ward off plenty of similar things we do so as to survive.
