Reishi is one of the most well known mushrooms in the health and wellness world. Thanks to Asian culture and tradition, this mushroom has become a staple, not just a trend in the health and wellness world. With historical references older than a few thousand years old, this medicinal mushroom has been used on a large spectrum from a longevity tool to assisting in spiritual development.
In the past, reishi was used to enhance meditation, spirituality and support longevity. It was a prized possession among high ranking individuals. Reishi represented a good and long life. Today Reishi is mostly known for its clinical use in regards to its adaptogenic benefits, assisting stress resilience, treating allergies, chronic & acute infections, supportive cancer treatments, as a sleep aid and more.
Reishi has some of the highest beta-glucans of the medicinal mushrooms and some interesting compounds like triterpenes. Ganoderic acids, a class of triterpenes found in reishi have been shown to have anti-neuraminidase properties in-vitro. Neuraminidases are found on the outer surface of influenza viruses, which allow the virus to infect a host cell more easily.
