"Queen Healer Mushroom"
"This mushroom was traditionally used in Oriental and Eastern Folk Medicine to "Nourish the Heart and Pacify the Spirit".
Its primary functions today include:
Immune Support
Longevity Tonic
Stress Relief
Long Form
Reishi Mushroom is perhaps the most beloved of all precious foods. Called Ling Zhi - "The Mushroom of Spiritual Potency" in Traditional Chinese Medicine, It holds its place as an essential ingredient in a healthy life.
The Chinese have traditionally claimed that Reishi promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, inner awareness and inner strength. They have used it to improve meditative practices and to protect the body, mind and spirit so that the adept could attain both a long and healthy life.
Reishi's first detailed description was written in Shen Nong's Pharmacopeia, a book attributed to the legendary herbalist-emperor Shen Nong (Han Dynasty, 206 B.C.~ 8 AD). Reishi was classified by Shen Nong as a superior herb that may be taken continuously without side effects. A "superior herb" was defined as a substance that serves to maintain life, causes no side effects by continuous use, and promotes radiant health and long life by helping to harmonize the functions of the body, mind and spirit. Images of Reishi Mushrooms are prolific throughout ancient Chinese Culture and are joyfully presented by wonderful cast of revered legendary characters, Taoist Sages and Buddhist Bodhistvas.
Reishi is one of the most potent adaptogens available to modern society. Adaptogens are those herbs and substances that increase the body’s resistance to stress and help it overcome all health challenges more quickly. Adaptogens are defined as substances which positively support the body to reduce or increase the body's actions as appropriate. Reishi is believed by Japanese and Chinese researchers to have a regulatory effect on the immune system, raising immune function in cases of immunodeficiency and reducing the excesses associated with auto-immune conditions.
Reishi is the most studied natural substance on earth and science continues to show up remarkable functions its active ingredients produce. Some pharmacological effects of Reishi extracts in vivo and in vitro include:
(for references see Hobbs, 1995)
Analgesic
Anti-allergic activity
Bronchitis-preventative effect, inducing regeneration of bronchial epithelium

"It may prove to be the greatest prevention against cancer, because it helps us to protect ourselves by our own power." Dr Gabriel Cousens
Reishi is a very potent immune system and longevity tonic. Traditionally used to “nourish the heart and pacify the spirit” it has also been found to have numerous other health benefits, including:
Immune-strengthening
Stress-relieving
Liver protective
Regarded as one of the most potent shen tonics
Improves circulation
Protective against radiation, free radicals and other environmental stressors
Anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fatigue, and anti-stress
Kee Chang Huang reported that reishi “exerts a synergistic effect with other anticancer chemotherapeutic agents or radiotherapy, to augment the clinical therapeutic effect in the treatment of cancer patients” (1999).
Reishi has been shown in several studies to lower cholesterol levels, helping to prevent atherosclerotic changes in the blood vessel walls (reported in Huang, 1999).
Traditionally Reishi is considered to nourish all 3 treasures. Jing, Chi and Shen are all fed by this wonderful gift from our natural world.
The once extremely rare and precious Reishi mushroom is now cultivated with superb results. This means that more people than ever people can experience consuming Reishi. SunPotion uses a wonderful full-spectrum Reishi product. Cultivated under strict, Organic protocols in USA, Sun Potion Reishi uses a blend of different Reishi species to create a full-spectrum mycoproduct with all the naturally occurring anti-bacterial, anti-viral, immune modulating, and blood pressure regulating properties that Reishi has been known for throughout its long history.
SunPotion Reishi Mushroom Powder is excellent consumed in tea either on its own or blended with other herbs such as Cordyceps. In the Sun Potion family a tea of Reishi and other blood building foods such as He Shou Wu is considered the perfect night cap to help calm the spirit and invest in a bright tomorrow."
