The Reishi mushroom,
used for thousands of years as a medicinal herb, has many
therapeutic and medicinal properties. Used mostly in the far East of
China and Japan, there are many uses for this supplement. Some of
the more important functions include boosting your immune function,
reducing your stress while helping to increase relaxation, fighting
fatigue in the body while boosting energy and vitality levels, and
helping to fight off chronic fatigue. It’s also beneficial to those
with asthma and bronchitis, due to the anti-inflammatory properties
of the Reishi mushroom. In addition, it acts as an anti-coagulant,
to help thin blood. Fighting allergies is also one of the functions
of the Reishi mushroom.
Many experts also look to the Reishi
mushroom for helping to lower cholesterol levels, lower blood
pressure, and help increase the beauty and vitality of skin. While
the studies still need to be conducted, some believe the Reishi
mushroom to be an anti-cancer agent, as well. The Reishi mushroom
contains polysaccharides, a substance that has fought cancerous
tumors in mice. Polysaccharides also help to enhance the immune
system.
Triterpenes in the mushroom are what is believed to
assist in lowering blood pressure. The side effects experienced by
eating the Reishi mushroom are generally rare, but they can include
dry mouth, nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, skin rashes, and
nosebleeds in a small amount of the population. If any of these
symptoms arise in you, you should reduce your dosage or discontinue
your use of the Reishi mushroom. Guidelines as far as dosage go as
follows:
General
health supplement: 500mg twice per day
Heart disease: 1500mg per
day
Immune system enhancement: 500mg three times per day
Bronchitis: 1500mg per day while the condition persists
Reishi mushrooms can be found in supplements, capsules,
powders, teas, and coffees, providing numerous ways to get your
