Do you know there is an herb that the Chinese believe promotes longevity, boosts your immune system, calms your nerves and combats cancer? It’s true! Its Ling Zhi also known as Reishi in the West. The Reishi mushroom is considered the mushroom of immortality in the east. Ling Zhi is one of the greatest tonics on earth. Its an immune modulator and potent anti-oxidant. 

In Chinese herbalism, we look at the channels these herbs enter. Ling Zhi enters the lung and heart channel. What the heck does that mean?!? Basically it helps with a persons sleep, tranquilizes an overactive nervous system, decreases stress and an immune-adaptogen. Whether your immune system is over active or under active, this herb regulates to bring it to balance. 


In the west, Reishi stops the release of histamines, promotes oxygen intake in cells, and detoxifies the liver. This mushroom is considered a scavenger of free radicals and a producer of interferons. Not only is that good for anti-aging but immunity. Further, Reishi mushrooms stimulate interferons and interleukins I & II, which is an integral part of your immune system. Now, before you run to buy this immortal herb. You should consult with your Acupuncturist or Chinese herbalist to see if this the right fit for you. Its a delicate herb that is often is mis-paired in formulations and unfortunately being promoted in coffee. Let us find the right herbal formula for you, contact our office for a consultation!
