Reishi Elixir

REISHI
ganoderma lucidum

This elixir is made with permission using Arielle de Martinez's method. (Her website is here. Her method utilizes alcohol, heat, and water to extract all the beneficial constituents from reishi. A mushroom supplement should be heated in order to release all the beneficial polysaccharides. 

This elixir contains alcohol, Mount Shasta spring water, raw honey, and non-GMO, food-grade, palm-derived glycerin. The honey adds a touch of sweetness and medicinal qualities, and the small amount of glycerin helps to suspend reishi so each dose is a balanced one. The alcohol is necessary for one of the extraction parts, but in the final dose, it is a balanced amount of alcohol, water, honey, and glycerin. 

ABOUT: 

Reishi is an incredibly well-studied mushroom. With numerous studies available, reishi has been shown to have a wide variety of medicinal benefits. 

According to Chinese medicine, "Reishi positively affects the life-energy, or Qi of the heart, repairing the chest area and benefiting those with a knotted and tight chest. Taken over a long period of time the agility of the body will not cease, and the years are lengthened” L Shizhen from the year 1596.

Reishi can be taken to help the heart, liver, and many other parts of the body. 

It has been shown to be anti-c@ńcêr and anti-tūm0r (words censored because some parties don't appreciate herbs that have been shown to help said sickness.) In studies, reishi showed it would shrink tūm0rš and produce a 5-fold to twenty-nine-fold increase in 

c@ńcêr-fighting compounds (David Winston) It has been shown in Japan to relieve many side effects of räd!@tion and ch3m0thér@pÿ. (so sorry for the censoring!!!) It can help relieve fatigue that comes from many c-treatments, and help to regulate the immune system. 

It is a bitter mushroom and in turn, can help the liver. When taken half hour before a meal, and held in the mouth for a few moments before swallowing, reishi can act as bitter to stimulate the body's response to start digesting food. 

Reishi is best when taken daily, and consistently. 

Reishi has the ability to help balance out the immune system. It can lower the immune system when it is working too hard, or raise the immune system's response when it needs a boost. 

As a nervine, reishi can soothe a frazzled nervous system and help relieve stress. 

For those suffering from allergies (animal, environmental, and food) reishi can be used as a tool to help the body's histamine response. 

For those with asthma, bronchitis, or other lung ailments, reishi can be a beautiful support to help restore the body's proper function of the lungs.
