Reishi Mushroom Preparation
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
Reishi is a mushroom preparation originally from a very rare Asian mushroom. It has the ability to relieve fatigue, reduce shingles pain, boost energy and immunity levels, and strengthen users
In addition it helps increase your ability to resist disease and reduces stress.
Reishi is believed to activate several phases of the human immune defence system as well as stimulate the production of cells which attack and digest infectious bacteria – helping to prevent dangerous secondary infection of the shingles rashes and blisters.
Use of Reishi
Reishi is used both as a food and medicinal mushroom. It can be drunk as a tea, or taken as a tablet, syrup or tincture.
Side Effects and Cautions
As bacteria may grow on the Reishi mushroom during growth, It should always be boiled prior to use to kill these off and never be eaten raw.
Some allergic reactions may manifest if Reishi is taken over a long period (up to 6 months). These are rare but could include dry soft tissues e.g. nose, mouth tissues, chronic itching and stomach disorders, occasional bleeding.
People with any allergy to mushrooms should not use Reishi. It should not be used continually for more than 3 months.
If you are on any blood thinning drugs you should not use this preparation without your doctors approval.
