The mushrooms commonly known as “reishi” are gaining deserved popularity for possessing near-magical gifts for the human body. Reishi (in Japanese) or ling zhi (in Chinese) have been recognized as a medicinal mushroom for over 2,000 years, with their powerful effects noted in ancient texts, art, religion and even cultural artifacts.[i]

Traditionally ascribed such benefits as enhancing energy, strengthening the heart, increasing memory, tonifying the body and slowing aging, this rare and revered fungus has earned a reputation for being an “herb of spiritual potency.”[ii] Science has even validated reishi’s health-affirming properties, including an ability to control blood glucose levels, support the immune system, protect the liver and fight harmful bacterial infections.[iii]

There are more than 200 scientific abstracts on GreenMedInfo.com with evidence of reishi mushroom’s disease fighting properties. In this article, we break down the science that supports reishi’s health-boosting potential in three key areas: cancer prevention, heart health and enhanced immunity to viruses.
