Using Red Reishi to Improve Your Health


Red Reishi's greatest potential medical benefit is its ability to strengthen the body's immune system. Consumption of red Reishi is therefore considered preventive and immune enhancing, rather than treatment of a specific disease.

Red Reishi is gaining credence as a potential example of what the Royal Medical Society has termed an "adaptogen" - a treatment concept that is said to help the body adapt to stresses of various kinds; these stressors may be temperature, trauma, sleep deprivation, exposure to toxins, radiation, infection, or psychological stress. Like adaptogens, red Reishi shares the properties of causing no side effects with regular consumption; it is effective in dealing with a wide variety of illnesses; and it helps an organism return to a normal and balanced state.

Furthermore, regular consumption of red Reishi can significantly improve the functioning of the immune system. Red Reishi acts as an immune modulator - a substance that regulates, and fine-tunes the immune system. The primary responsibility of the immune system is to detect pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and other microbes that invade the body. Under normal circumstances, an intact immune system is capable of detering most of these organisms before it causes any damage. However, if the immune system is compromised, viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi can proliferate and cause disease. Antibiotics, anti-viral agents, and anti-fungal medications are the mainstay of current therapy. Even though they can be effective, every treatment carries a potential side effect. In addition, repeated use of these medications can cause microbes to mutate and develop resistance. Consuming red Reishi eliminates these problems.

Red Reishi is also gaining acceptance for its use as an adjunct to combating the unpleasant side effects associated with radiation and chemotherapy for cancer treatment.

Authentic red Reishi products have also demonstrated exceptional anti-stress properties that help improve memory, ease tension, and sharpen concentration. Its potency is particularly noteworthy in the treatment of degenerative diseases that affect primarily the elderly, such as Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
