However, its rarity meant it was limited to those who could afford its hefty price tag, namely Chinese royalty. Luckily for us, reishi has become more accessible thanks to its cultivation in the 20th century. We\u2019re overjoyed that it has naturalised in South African forests, growing well on hardwoods such as the African acacia, black wattle and knob thorn.&nbsp;You may not have heard of the reishi mushroom before, but trust us when we say you\u2019ll be racing to add this dynamic superfood to your diet once we\u2019ve told you about its incredible healing properties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s in it?<\/strong> This particular polypore contains a complex combination of polysaccharides, triterpenes and peptidoglycans, which have been extensively studied for their health effects. While it\u2019s possible to consume these molecules simply by eating the mushroom fresh, the cell walls are coated with chitin, making it difficult for your body to digest. Instead, we suggest consuming reishi in powdered or extract form. We like to combine extracts from seven varieties of reishi in a tincture, enhancing its benefits and catering to a broader range of ailments. One of our favourite products is Aether Apothecaries<strong>\u00a07 Reishis Extract<\/strong>, the magnum opus for medicinal polypores &#8211; shop it\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/aether-7-reishis-extract\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>\u00a0to try it yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does it help?<\/strong> Let\u2019s dive into some of the benefits of the reishi mushroom on your health and well-being.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Boosts immunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16230843\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Several studies have shown that<\/a>&nbsp;reishi mushrooms can affect the genes in the white blood cells that are key to the immune system\u2019s ability to protect the body. The outcome is a change in inflammation pathways, improving the body\u2019s ability to fight off infection.&nbsp;What\u2019s more,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12916709\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">studies in cancer patients<\/a>&nbsp;have shown molecules in the mushroom can boost the activity of natural killer cells, an essential kind of white blood cell. The role of natural killer cells is to recognise and kill infected cells, so an increase in their activity helps to provide a more rapid response to viral infection or tumour formation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <em>Summary:<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Reduces inflammation.<\/li><li>Increases the ability to fight infection.<\/li><li>Acts as an immunostimulant.<\/li><li>Increases the activity of natural killer cells.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Fights anxiety, depression and fatigue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For centuries, Taoist monks used reishi mushrooms to help create a sense of calm in meditation, so it\u2019s no surprise they\u2019ve now been found to assist with mental health. We all know and love adaptogens &#8211; substances that help promote homeostasis and allow the body to cope with physical, chemical or biological stress. Reishi mushrooms also boast these adaptogenic properties. One of the best illustrations of this was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22203880\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a study of 48 breast cancer survivors<\/a>. After four weeks on reishi powder, these subjects reported reduced fatigue and improvements in anxiety and depression brought on by their poor health diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Summary:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Adaptogenic properties.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Reduces irritability and fatigue.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Helps to combat anxiety and depression.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Anti-cancer properties<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major proportion of the people consuming the reishi mushroom are doing so for its anti-cancer properties. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19368349\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Several test-tube studies<\/a>\u00a0have identified reishi\u2019s ability to cause the death of cancer cells. From this, scientists have hypothesised that bioactive compounds in the mushroom may actively seek out cancerous cells in the body and have cytotoxic (meaning toxic\/deadly to cells) effects on them. Reishi has also been shown to alleviate nausea induced by chemotherapy, and it may even improve the efficacy of radiation therapy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<em>Summary:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Deadly to cancer cells.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Prevents the spread of a tumour.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Helps to alleviate chemotherapy-induced nausea.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23139131\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Several animal studies<\/a>&nbsp;have shown that reishi mushrooms can decrease blood sugar levels. The possible mechanism of action here is inhibiting an enzyme responsible for glucose production. If these effects are true, reishi mushrooms could be a helpful treatment for diabetics, reducing the stress on the kidneys that people with diabetes often suffer from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Summary:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Decreases blood sugar levels.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Prevents high blood pressure.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Decreases bad cholesterol.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Antioxidant content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antioxidants are molecules which assist the body in preventing the cell damage that happens as a result of free radical production. By inhibiting oxidation, antioxidant molecules reduce the production of these free radicals, ensuring their levels don\u2019t rise to a harmful level.&nbsp;Reishi mushrooms have exhibited this antioxidant activity in many&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18989955\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in vitro<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18989955\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;studies<\/a>, suggesting that supplementing your diet with them could be beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Summary:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Antioxidant activity.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Prevents cell damage.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.
