It is not by chance that it is referred to in various countries as the "mushroom of immortality" and the "mushroom of eternal life". In Japan, "Reishi" means "spiritual power". In China, it is known as "Lingzhi", which means "divine mushroom". It is one of the most valuable mushrooms in traditional medicine, used to treat chronic diseases and recognised for over 4,000 years for its powerful effects (similar to women) documented in ancient books. It is also called the "mushroom of happiness" for its ability to relieve ailments such as arthritis, insomnia, pressure pain, persistent weakness, high blood pressure, heart problems, dizziness, mushroom poisoning and diseases...
Reishi is a large dark mushroom with a lacquered surface and woody structure. The Latin word "lucidum" refers to its shiny surface, as does the Slovak name lesklokôrovka obyčajná . It belongs to the polypore species and occurs naturally on the trunks of deciduous trees such as oak, maple, elm, willow, magnolia and acacia. Although it has hard and edible fruiting bodies (less suitable for culinary use), it is highly valued for its medicinal properties. There are six different types: blue, white, yellow, black, green (less common), but it is the most beneficial and most widely used (although all function as adaptogens and support immunity).
Fascinatingly, it helps you stay healthy and avoid illness . Reishi is processed using extraction methods that preserve its pharmacological properties and wide range of beneficial effects, including anti-cancer (effective against prostate, lung, breast and colon cancer), antidiabetic, antioxidant, aphrodisiac, and antimicrobial (against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli) properties. With effects that protect the liver, maintain cholesterol, combat hyperpigmentation and arthritis, and have a calming effect. The extracts influence the effects in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
Reishi alters the inflammatory pathway in white blood cells, thereby boosting immunity. It helps with diseases related to inflammation (pain, allergies, or asthma). It helps regulate blood sugar levels, increases HDL (good) cholesterol and reduces triglycerides, improves blood circulation, and significantlyreduces the risk of heart attack and cardiac ischaemia. Reishi owes its effects to its unique composition. It contains a number of active substances, such as polysaccharides, antioxidants, triterpenes, peptides, steroids, unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, amino acids and vitamins. In addition, it also provides important minerals such as magnesium, zinc and potassium.
The medicinal effects are most often attributed to polysaccharides and triterpenoids, which have a beneficial effect on intestinal flora and can help with conditions such as hyperglycaemia and obesity. It is also popular for its adaptogenic properties, which support the body's ability to cope with stress, thereby contributing to improved mood. As an adaptogen, it reduces fatigue, anxiety and depression after just a few weeks of use. The abundance of antioxidants helps protect cells from damage by free radicals, promoting a longer and healthier life. It was also revered by Chinese emperors, who considered it a symbol of longevity and vitality.
Reishi is known for helping to calm the mind and promote better sleep, which aids in the regeneration of the body. Reishi is one of the products with the highest content of organic germanium, which has significant beneficial effects, such as anti-ischaemic and anti-myeloid action, which prevents the deposition of specific proteins, thus helping to protect important organs from damage. Germanium also has anti-tumour effects. The effects of active substances are described in more detail in the books Mushrooms and Their Medicinal Effects, Mushrooms as Medicine, and Encyclopedia of Medicinal Mushrooms.
