🌿Nervous system calm & emotional balance

Reishi is especially valued for its soothing influence on the nervous system. It is traditionally used to support:

- stress and internal tension
- nervousness and mental agitation
- emotional overload
- difficulty relaxing or unwinding

Its calming nature makes it an excellent choice during demanding life periods or when the body needs gentle support rather than stimulation.

🌿Sleep & deep restoration

By supporting nervous system balance, Reishi helps create the conditions for deeper, more restorative rest. It is often chosen when sleep difficulties are linked to stress, mental activity, or inner restlessness.

🌿Immune & viral support

Reishi is best known for its role as an immune-modulating adaptogen. Rather than stimulating the immune system aggressively, it helps guide it back toward balance - strengthening natural defences while calming excessive or inflammatory responses.

This makes Reishi particularly suitable for:

- General immune support, especially during periods of lowered resistance or seasonal challenge

- Viral infections, where ongoing immune support is needed rather than short-term intervention

- Herpes, where immune balance and long-term resilience play a role in recurrence patterns

- Allergies, particularly chronic or inflammatory types, where immune overreaction is part of the picture

Reishi is valued because it supports the immune system in a regulatory way - encouraging steadiness, tolerance, and resilience rather than overstimulation.
🌿Fatigue & recovery

As an adaptogenic mushroom, Reishi supports recovery during times of physical or nervous exhaustion. It is particularly appreciated by those who feel drained, depleted, or emotionally taxed.

🌿Stress, exhaustion & recovery

Reishi is also deeply supportive when the body is worn down by prolonged stress or nervous strain. It is traditionally used to nourish recovery in people who feel depleted rather than overstimulated.

It is especially helpful for:

- Physical exhaustion following long periods of stress, illness, or emotional load

- Fatigue linked to nervous system overload

- Reduced resilience during demanding life phases

Unlike stimulating adaptogens, Reishi works gently and progressively, helping the body rebuild strength over time. This makes it a natural choice for people who need restoration, grounding, and sustained support rather than an energy push.

🌿Menopause

Reishi is a good and appropriate choice here, especially when menopause symptoms are dominated by:

- stress
- nervous tension
- emotional sensitivity
- sleep disturbances
- fatigue or feeling depleted

Reishi supports menopause indirectly, by calming the nervous system, improving sleep quality, and supporting resilience during hormonal transition. It’s particularly suitable for women who feel worn down rather than overstimulated.

All Adaptitude food supplements are produced in their laboratory in Quimper, Brittany, in accordance with HACCP hygiene standards, and are declared to the DGCCRF. Each batch is crafted with care, precision, and respect for both plant and body.

Reishi has been used in East Asia for over 2,000 years, with written records dating back to the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE). It appears in some of the earliest Chinese herbal texts, where it was classified among the most precious tonic substances rather than everyday remedies.

Because wild Reishi was rare and difficult to find, it was traditionally reserved for emperors, nobility, and high-ranking scholars. For this reason, it became known as the “Mushroom of Immortality” or “Divine Mushroom”, symbolising longevity, vitality, and spiritual strength.

🌿A tonic for longevity and balance

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reishi was valued not for treating acute illness, but for supporting long life, inner balance, and resilience. It was considered a superior tonic for Qi (vital energy), traditionally used to nourish the heart, calm the spirit (Shen), and strengthen the body over time.

Unlike stimulating tonics, Reishi was seen as gentle and harmonising, suitable for long-term use by people of all ages. It was often prescribed during periods of exhaustion, emotional strain, recovery from illness, or as a general support for ageing gracefully.

🌿Symbolism and cultural significance

Reishi became a powerful cultural symbol in China, Japan, and Korea. It appears frequently in:
- ancient paintings and carvings
- Taoist art and mythology
- imperial robes and temple decorations

The mushroom was associated with wisdom, spiritual clarity, and the balance between body and mind. In Taoist tradition, it was linked to practices aimed at longevity and inner cultivation.

🌿From rare wild mushroom to modern adaptogen

Historically, Reishi grew wild on decaying hardwood trees and was extremely scarce. This rarity contributed to its legendary status. With the development of cultivation methods in the 20th century, Reishi became more accessible, allowing broader use while preserving traditional knowledge.

Today, Reishi is one of the most respected medicinal mushrooms worldwide. Modern herbalists continue to value it for the same reasons it was treasured centuries ago: its ability to support calm, immune resilience, recovery from exhaustion, and long-term vitality without overstimulation.

Because Reishi may lower blood pressure, it is not recommended for people with hypotension.

Due to its potential anticoagulant effect, Reishi is also not recommended in cases of thrombocytopenia, or before and after surgery or childbirth.
