Reishi Extract (Ganoderma lucidum/Ling Zhi): 2 fl oz: F
About 100 dropperfuls per bottle. That's dropperfuls, not drops. A traditional tonic used to nourish, tonify, and supplement the whole body as it removes toxins and disperses accumulation. As a tonic it calms and nourishes the nervous system, strengthens the lungs, protects and stimulates the liver and helps the body adapt to stress. Considered among the most powerful natural healing herbs in Asia, Red Reishi was very rare and expensive to obtain until recently. Reishi is rich in active organic compounds such as polysaccharides, amino acids, proteins, triterpenes, ascorbic acid, sterols, lipids, alkaloids, a glucose, a courmarine glycoside, volatile oil, riboflavin and more. These compounds are being studied for their positive effects on the immune system, including anti-tumor activity. Asian cultures have also used Reishi, rendered in jade, as a talisman worn around the neck. Sometimes, whole dried Reishi are placed in the home to ward off evil.
