Even though there are several different colors of Reishi mushrooms, Red Reishi is the one that is most well known and used. For over 4000 years, Red Reishi mushrooms have been most revered in traditional Chinese medicine equaling ginseng as a premier substance for the attainment of radiant health, longevity, and spiritual attainment. Traditionally, Reishi has been used as an anti-aging herb to treat many diseases and disorders.

Daoist traditionalists rever this mushroom as the “elixir of immortality,” claiming it promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, and inner awareness and strength. Reishi contains sterols, coumarin, mannitol, polysaccharides, and triterpenoids called ganoderic acids. It is thought that ganoderic acid lowers blood pressure, LDL (low density lipoprotein cholesterol), and triglyceride levels. Those triterpenoids also play an important role in lowering the risk of coronary artery disease.
