REISHI

(Ganoderma lingzhi)

Wide ranging research studies exist due to the combination of highly active polysaccharides and over 130 triterpenoid compounds contained in the incredible mushroom.

It has been used for centuries to keep daytimes calm and night times as regenerative as they should be.

Reishi has now found its way firmly into modern wellness and biohacking culture.

LEGEND & FOLKLORE

Reishi has long been associated with the Taoist quest for immortality - revered by emporers and Sages alike. Steeped in legend, this sacred fungus has been linked to alchemy and divine realms, its mythical status far exceeding that of a mere medicinal mushroom. It is no surprise therefore that it is nicknamed 'The Mushroom of Immortality' or '10,000 year mushroom' (Mannentake).

In oriental culture it is historically (via Daoist sages) linked with good fortune, health, wisdom and happiness and even god-like powers, being the bridge between Earth and Heaven.

Japanese samurai warriors were known to consume it before battle for endurance, resilience and strength beyond mortal limits.

SCIENCE INFORMATION REVIEW

REISHI

(Ganoderma lingzhi)

Welcome to the Fung Shui Reishi scientific research page which connects you to our ever evolving library of educational research, peer-reviewed papers and articles. These articles are here to further educate us in the potential role of mushrooms in human health.

The use of reishi is currently being explored by modern scientific research. A triple extraction method—using both water and alcohol and ultrasonic—increases the beneficial compounds that are extracted, including polysaccharides, ganodermic acid and beta glucans.

Their bidirectional effects make them adaptogenic, meaning they help the body find balance in different systems.

Below we have collated a list of scientific articles and books relating to reishi. You can find various articles below in the 'peer reviewed papers and articles' section.

More human trials are needed to further this field of research to more fully understand its efficacy. This page is not medical advice.
