All About Reishi
Learn About This Immune-Support Mushroom*
When a mushroom has been revered by herbalists for centuries, you know it’s worth checking out. Reishi is known for its dark red and brown color, glossy exterior, big fan shape, and earthy flavor. Additionally, our herbalists love Reishi for its ability to support the immune system and liver health.*
A Long-Celebrated Mushroom
Reishi is an exciting herb with a long history of use in Chinese and Japanese herbalism. There are even records of Taoist monks traditionally using this mushroom in their meditation practices over 2,000 years ago.1 In Chinese, Reishi is called “Ling Zhi.” The Chinese characters for Ling Zhi are portrayed as a “shaman crying for rain” to signify its divinity.
How Reishi is Grown
Reishi typically grows on hardwood roots or trunks, bearing a reddish-brown fruiting body with a smooth surface and kidney shape. As with all Herb Pharm products, our Reishi tincture's ingredients are sourced from the finest and crafted for powerful efficacy.
Making Herb Pharm Reishi Extract
We prepare Herb Pharm Reishi liquid herbal extract from the dried whole fruiting body of Certified Organic Ganoderma lingzhi mushrooms grown on wood logs and/or chips. We start extraction through the traditional Chinese method of making a concentrated water-extraction tea. Then, we combine the tea with our Reishi alcohol extract. The result is a combined extract with water-soluble and alcohol-soluble mushroom compounds.
