Known to the ancients as "the Mushroom of Immortality", Reishi mushrooms have been used for medicinal purposes for at least 2,000 years. They enjoy a great reputation of promoting health, longevity & supporting the immune system due to the hundreds of biologically active molecules contained within these mycological heavyweights. One of these compounds is Ganoderma Lucidum Peptide which is thought to be responsible for its powerful antioxidant capacity, with polysaccharides & triterpenes targetting inflammation which in turn can bolster the immune system. Traditional Eastern Medicine attributes the success of reishi mushroom to its ability to "defend the equilibrium" and maintain balance in the body - there is now a growing body of research which appears to back this up! For thousands of years reishi has been used by monks, Taoist adepts & spiritual seekers throughout Asia in the belief that it helps to calm the mind, ease tension, strengthen the nerves & build willpower resulting in the attainment of wisdom - earning it the name of "the Mushroom of Spirtual Potency".
To maximise the potential of Reishi Mushroom Powder it is recommended that it is made into a hot tea. Simply add boiling water and steep for 5 - 10 minutes.

Manufacture Process
The grower of the reishi mushrooms used to make Indigo Herbs Reishi Mushroom Powder is one of the most accomplished and technologically advanced cultivators of mushrooms in the world. Every aspect of the growth process is monitored from temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, light intensity, and nutrient uptake making sure that these mushrooms result in the very finest examples of Reishi. This particular supplier has been sending his products to the US and Europe for over 15 years and is trusted to produce a top quality product. The process of growing the mushrooms involves using 30cm slats of steamed (sterilized) wood from the basswood tree being placed in plastic bags and the Reishi spores placed on top. These bags are then placed in a perfect warm moist environment where the spores can develop and grow across the basswood slat. After 4 months the spores have developed sufficiently enough that the slats can be planted under earth in a growing base where the temperature is maintained at 25°C. Over a period of about 3 months the mushrooms break ground and start to mature. Around August and October every year the Reishi Mushrooms are harvested to be selected for size, colour and quality. After this selection process the mushrooms are ready to be milled into a fine powder.
