Biomedicine
Biomedicine
Reishi extracts have a whole host of animal and human trials, with a wide-range of focuses. Here is a synthesis of some of their findings.
Heart and Blood Health
Studies suggest that Reishi lowers bad cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, and helps improve fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes.
Calming and Balancing
People describe Reishi as Adaptogenic, and there are several reasons why. Studies show that Reishi has the quality of balancing the immune system, balancing the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, as well as interacting with the GABA receptors in our brain to reduce overactive neural signalling and encourage an overall calming effect. For these reasons Reishi is being used widely for a better night sleep and stress-relief.
Anti-inflammatory and Stress Response Regulation
On the note of stress-relief, Reishi extracts have been observed to help Modulate stress response by supporting the Adrenal/HPA axis and dampen excessive cortisol release as well as reducing Cytokine production to help reduce the inflammation that stress can produce.
History and Folk Medicine
History and Folk Medicine
In Daoist tradition, Reishi was believed to grow in the homes of immortals who lived hidden in the misty mountains. Ancient stories speak of wandering sages and alchemists searching remote cliffsides for this fabled fungus, convinced its essence could confer long life—or even immortality. Daoists associated it with the concept of “shen” (spirit) nourishment, claiming it fortified not just the body but the soul, bridging the earthly and celestial realms - those legendary immortals of Daoist myth, are depicted leaning on staff-like scepters crowned by the mushroom.
Even the Emperors of China, including the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, dispatched expeditions in search of the legendary “immortality elixirs.” Throughout various dynasties, reishi was featured in royal art, palace décor, and in elaborate banquets—symbolizing power, eternal youth, vitality, and spiritual prowess.
Other effects of Reishi in Traditional and folk medicine include:
- Mood stabilising
- Mental clarity
- Enhancing resilience
- Grounding and stabilizing emotional disturbances
We have to say, that even by walking into our fruiting rooms when reishi is in full flourish has an immediately grounding and stabilising effect!

Our Extraction Process
Our mushrooms are triple extracted using alcohol, hot water and pressure (very high temperatures). But first is the harvest! We harvest our mushrooms by hand on our farm with care and attention paid to every mushroom we pick (this is one of our favorite tasks on the farm).The next step is to dehydrate and powder the mushrooms for extraction in high proof organic ethanol. This is a process that takes 4 weeks, with the mixture shaken every day. We then do a final pass of this solution through a heated mixer for 4-6 hours. Next we harvest more mushrooms to use fresh in our water extracts. The first is a long extract at lower temperatures that are specific to each species of mushroom and their unique profiles, and the next (using separate mushrooms again) is a high pressure extract in an autoclave. Finally, we filter and evaporate all of these solutions to concentrate to our final 1:4 super-strength ratio (its a lot of evaporation!).
All of this is to pull out as much of those wonderfully helpful compounds (both alcohol and water soluble) from the mushrooms as possible and to give you the best mushroom tincture we can - a product we are proud to stand behind!
