Medicinal Mushrooms

Supplement Facts Ingredients: Organic 100% Ganoderma lucidum spore oil, from wild-simulated cell-broken spores. Net Volume: 50ml Serving Size: 1ml (30 drops) Serving Per Container: 50 approx Product Details Halcyon /ˈhalsɪən/ adjective. 1 : calm, peaceful.2 : happy, golden.3 : prosperous, affluent. Enhances immune function Rich source of ganoderic & lucidenic acids Potent anti-inflammatory & antioxidant Restorative to the mind and central nervous system Liver, heart and blood tonic Excellent recovery medicine Reishi Halcyon has taken many years of trial and error to produce. It has been rigorously field tested as well as third party lab tested, revealing that it is indeed the purest and most potent form of Reishi spore oil available anywhere.Traditionally speaking, Reishi was regarded as a supreme medicine that was used for increasing vitality, supporting the mind and emotions as well as preventing and treating an array of illnesses. A growing number of research papers have been published on the profound therapeutic properties of Reishi spore oil - it has incredible anti-inflammatory effects, re-calibrates nervous and immune system functions, has very strong antiviral properties, regulates blood pressure, regenerates liver tissue and seems to be one of the most effective natural substances to repair free radical damage to the cells and tissues of the body.The protective and adaptogenic nature of high provenance spore oil is quite honestly in a league of its own. This is in no small part due to the very high concentration of fungal triterpenes in the oil (ganoderic and lucidenic acids), which is between 3 to 4 times that of even the highest percentages found in concentrated fruiting body extracts.The purest and most efficient extraction method for splitting the sporoderm and harvesting the spore oil is Supercritical CO2 extraction - this allows complete control over the variables so that the end result is 100% pure, unadulterated medicine with no fillers or excipients. This method involves an airtight cylinder that contains the herbal/fungal matter, where pressure and temperature are both regulated and CO2 is introduced. The internal pressure is increased to the exact point at which the sporoderm fractures and the medicinal oil is accessible, and the presence of CO2 is how this medicine is captured.When CO2 reaches its 'supercritical state' it possesses the properties of both a gas and a liquid. This essentially means that within the cylinder, this supercritical gas/fluid is omnipresent - as a gas it captures literally everything of medicinal value, and as a liquid it acts as the perfect solvent to bind to the captured molecules. Once the concentrate has been separated from the original fibre, the CO2 is removed from the chamber so that only the pure medicine remains. In this way, all of the bioactive compounds are perfectly preserved and bioavailable. Nothing is lost or compromised.As the spores are microscopic, it obviously takes an enormous quantity of them to yield a usable amount of spore oil. To put this into perspective, it takes approximately 100kg of dried mature Reishi fruiting bodies to yield 1kg of spores, which is equal to hundreds of fruiting bodies. This amount of spores - when subjected to supercritical CO2 extraction - will produce a mere 50ml of spore oil, which is equivalent to one bottle of Reishi Halcyon!This is a staggering figure to contemplate, but is of course only made possible due to the mindful Di Tao, wild-simulated cultivation methods that practice regenerative agriculture as a core principal. Because the growing environment is enriched more than it is depleted, it is an entirely sustainable process - something modern day agriculture could learn a lot from.In order to achieve the finest possible outcome, the processes involved are resource intensive and time consuming, but the potency of the finished product is beyond impressive. The most recent batch of Reishi Halcyon tested at a minimum of 28.8% triterpenes! Every one of these terpenoids is of pure fungal origin, constituting the vast array of ganoderic and lucidenic acids. It is nothing short of remarkable.You can learn more about the profound health benefits of Reishi and its spores, as well as its history of traditional use, by reading our full monograph HERE. ----- Nyishar products and the claims made about them on or through this site have not been evaluated by the MHRA or United States Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

Product Details Imperial Cordyceps - Concentrated Multi-Step Dual-Extract Increases ATP (cellular energy) production Increases oxygen absorption & utilisation Enhances physical & mental performance Increases endurance/anti-fatigue Powerful restorative/rejuvenating medicine Increases lung capacity/improves respiratory function Increases focus, determination & mental clarity Anti-stress adaptogen Enhances libido in both men & women Immune system support Helps regulate blood sugar Antiviral & antimicrobial Supplement Facts Ingredients: Organic CS-4 Cordyceps Sinensis Liquid-Fermented Mycelium, Organic Cordyceps Militaris Fruiting Body Contains: 100g Serving Size: 1g (half a teaspoon) Servings Per Container: 100 Imperial Cordyceps is a concentrated extract that has been produced to the highest specifications currently possible. The extract comprises both liquid-fermented Cordyceps sinensis mycelia and Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies from silkworm larvae, mirroring the overall composition of wild Cordyceps that has been an important medicine in the East for many centuries. Imperial Cordyceps was the name given to the finest quality Cordyceps sinensis species that was reserved for the royalty and nobility of ancient China and Tibet. However, wild Cordyceps is now the most expensive natural medicine on the planet and fetches upwards of $20,000 per kilo. Sadly it is a completely unsustainable industry that is threatening the biodiversity of the high Himalayan regions. Fortunately it is now possible to cultivate Cordyceps species to an extremely high standard that reflects the potency & quality of the famed Imperial Cordyceps of the Himalayas, and at a fraction of the price. A considerable portion of the wild Cordyceps sinensis 'caterpillar body' would be filled with mycelium, where as the club-shaped fruiting body would extend from the head of its caterpillar host, making up the remaining share of the fungus. However, it is not currently possible to cultivate Cordyceps sinensis so that it produces a mature fruiting body. Cultivation of the mycelia on the other hand, does produce an end result that is very similar and more consistent in quality to that of its wild counterpart. For the fruiting body, another, chemically very similar species called Cordyceps militaris is used, as this species yields a medicinally potent fruiting body much more easily. The mycelia of Cordyceps sinensis is cultivated via liquid fermentation (CS-4) while the fruiting bodies of Cordyceps militaris are grown on a substrate of silkworm larvae. The two species/parts of this fungus are then dual-extracted into pressurised hot water and then ethanol separately - a process which is repeated as many times as necessary to extract everything of therapeutic value. The extracts are then spray-freeze-dried to produce the resulting fine-grain powder as well as remove any residual ethanol/alcohol. The extract powders are then combined and concentrated to be many times more potent by weight than the fungus was originally, prior to extraction. There are absolutely no fillers or additives used in this product whatsoever. This extract is bottled in Miron Violet Glass – the best quality glass in the world – in order to protect and preserve the integrity of this outstanding medicine from ultraviolet degradation. Because the source material is such high quality and the extraction process is so precise and thorough, it results in the most potent & effective Cordyceps product money can buy. This is not exaggerated marketing - it is scientifically provable fact. Take a look at the authorised 'Supplement Facts' label for this product in the image gallery at the top of this page. Like many medicinal mushrooms, Cordyceps contains unique polysaccharides (beta-glucans) that enhance immune function, but unlike other mushrooms (such as Reishi) a high percentage of beta-glucans does not indicate a quality product, because it just shows that it is either a single hot water extract, or a dual-extract where only minimal ethanol has been used. Many of the properties that Cordyceps has become so famous for - such as ATP production, libido enhancement, mental & physical rejuvenation and improved respiratory function - are the result of non-water-soluble compounds such as nucleosides like cordycepin and adenosine etc. Therefore, a thorough and complete dual-extraction where hot water & ethanolic processes are conducted separately, yields an end product that is capable of showcasing the full spectrum of nutrients and beneficial compounds (and their associated health benefits) we are expecting from high quality Cordyceps. If a Cordyceps supplement cannot guarantee the presence and exact percentages of these bioactive markers then we must be skeptical about its value, from a therapeutic perspective. Nyishar Imperial Cordyceps delivers a truly superior product that is a completely pure and rich source of every healing compound that the Cordyceps fungus has to offer. It provides supreme quality & potency without cutting any corners whatsoever.

Product Details - Potent anti-stress adaptogen- Immune system enhancer- Highest antioxidant content- Anti-aging, anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-allergy- DNA-protective/cellular regeneration- Rich source of trace elements Supplement FactsIngredients: Wild Inonotus Obliquus dual-extract powder.Net Weight: 100gServing Size: 1g (half a teaspoon)Serving Per Container: 100 Chaga Polaris is the newest addition to our growing range of extract powders, and as you might expect, the production process has seen no corners cut, nor expense spared. The level of production is second to none. Chaga cannot yet be cultivated to medicinally viable standards, so it must be of wild provenance. We use only the purest quality Chaga from the northern-most latitudes of the world. The Chaga sclerotia is sustainably harvested before being tested for environmental pollutants to ensure safety and is then dried before entering the extraction phase.As the various bioactive compounds & assorted nutrients within Chaga are either soluble in alcohol or water, the sclerotia is extracted via pressurised hot water and then extracted via organic ethanol separately - both of these extraction processes are repeated multiple times until the fungal material has yielded everything of medicinal value. It is subsequently spray-freeze-dried to create the resulting fine-grain powder and to ensure it is 100% free from ethanol/alcohol residue. There are absolutely no fillers or additives used in this product whatsoever. This extract is bottled in Miron Violet Glass – the best quality glass in the world – in order to protect and preserve the integrity of this outstanding medicine from ultraviolet degradation.Because the source material is such high quality and the extraction process is so precise and thorough, it results in the most potent & effective Chaga product money can buy. This is not exaggerated marketing - it is scientifically provable fact. Take a look at the authorised 'Supplement Facts' label for this product in the image gallery at the top of this page.Most mushroom extracts are either hot water extracts or they are dual-extracts (hot water & ethanol) but the dual-extraction is performed in a single step (water & ethanol combined). This produces an impure, low potency dual-extract that is low in the bioactive markers we are looking for. Considering Chaga, a thorough & pure, multi-step extraction of high quality wild sclerotia should yield an end product that is rich in bioactive markers such as polysaccharides (in particular beta-glucans) as well as terpenoid compounds like betulin and betulinic acid. There are hundreds of medicinally active compounds in Chaga, but these are some of the bioactive constituents that are naturally present in the highest quantities, are the most researched and that are fundamentally involved in the health benefits we expect from a Chaga product. Therefore it is important for us to test for these as markers for a high quality Chaga extract.The overwhelming majority of extract powders on the market will not specify the exact presence of these compounds, simply because they are not present in any significant quantity, if at all. A high percentage of polysaccharides is not a reliable marker either as many producers are using dextrin, maltodextrin or corn starch as additives to increase the overall percentage of polysaccharides, even though they are not from Chaga and contain no medicinal value. Therefore, analysing for specific beta-glucans gives us a clear picture of just how potent a Chaga supplement is, and the percentage of triterpenes/betulin will show us that a dual-extraction has indeed taken place and many important sterols & triterpenoids are present. The higher the percentages will indicate that a multi-step extraction process has been performed and the product is optimally potent, as well as free from therapeutically useless fillers & additives.Chaga Polaris showcases the true medicinal potency of Chaga mushroom because it has been created for the sole purpose of delivering reliable quality & potency, without cutting any corners whatsoever. This is a very strong and concentrated extract - a little truly does go a long way.Nyishar products and the claims made about them on or through this site have not been evaluated by the MHRA or United States Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

The superior quality and therapeutic efficacy have made it one of our best selling products since its release half a decade ago. Yet despite its elevated status, we saw that there were still some facets of this medicine that could be tweaked and improved upon... Reishi Paragon has now transcended itself - it is our strongest and richest Reishi extract ever.Regenerative Cultivation MethodsFirstly we have evolved the cultivation process - initially Reishi Paragon was created from organic, wood-grown fruiting bodies which underwent a multi-step dual-extraction process to yield the resulting high potency extract powder. However, the mushrooms are now wild-simulated - from the finest quality wild strains and cultivated according to Di Tao principles.'Di Tao’ literally means ‘authentic method’ or ‘from the source’. Di Tao cannot be imitated, simply because it is unique to its geographical location, grown in conditions that simulate its native, wild environment. This means cultivating the mushrooms in the same pristine mountain forests that wild Reishi grows in. This way, the fungi are grown on the same wood from the same forest, immersed in exactly the same soil, the same symbiotic micro-organisms are present, the weather is the same, the same water irrigates the cultivated mushrooms as it does the wild specimens etc.The fruiting bodies are grown on sections of tree trunk from species of fir trees that Reishi grows on in the wild. The trees should be at least three decades old before harvesting for Reishi cultivation, and they must have come from mountain elevations of at least 1500 meters. The logs should be approximately 30cm in diameter, inoculated with wild Reishi spawn and then immersed within humus-rich soil. This way the mushroom mycelium will have an abundance of nutrients to feed upon, and produce larger, therapeutically more potent fruiting bodies. As the mushrooms mature and their medicinal potency is climaxing they are harvested, and the finest quality fruiting bodies are selected to sporulate the subsequent generation. Crop rotation is also important – Reishi should not be grown in the same place for more than two years, after which point the area needs to be naturally replenished with nutritious mulch and allowed to recover. In Di Tao cultivation there a number of growing locations so that when one of them is allowed to rest and regenerate, it can do so for many years before hosting another generation of Reishi cultivation. Not only does this ensure the richest possible growing environment, but it also promotes local biodiversity – the whole process should not take more from the land than it gives back.Dual-ExtractionOnce the mature fruiting body has been harvested it is washed to clear any residual impurities, then dried, and finally pulverised into a fine grain powder. This creates maximum surface area, making the extraction process exponentially more effective. The mushroom powder is then added to purified water - the hot water decoction is completed inside a pressurised container, simmering below 100°c. The pressurised environment is necessary in order to inhibit the denaturing of the water-soluble compounds. Once completed, the water extract is filtered from the powder and more water added for another decoction. In total, this process is carried out three separate times and finally combined. Next, with the filtrate from the hot water extraction removed, the powder is macerated in ethanol and again, this process is repeated three times before completion. Once all alcohol-soluble compounds have been captured by the ethanol, the filtrate is once again separated from the mushroom material. The liquids (water and ethanol) are both precipitated from the extracts so that all of the nutrients and beneficial compounds are contained within the rich, concentrated solid substance that remains, with no water or alcohol residue whatsoever. Next, this concentrate is transformed into a very fine, dry powder, which requires spray-freeze-drying. Low temperature drying is ideal because it preserves the structural integrity and potency of the extract. Once totally dry, the extract is again filtered through a very fine mesh sieve. Before the extract is sealed in airtight containers ready for sale, a sample should be taken for testing; testing firstly to ensure there are no contaminants, and secondly for the presence of the biologically active compounds that should have been captured via the extraction procedures.Bio-active CompoundsTo verify the medicinal potency, Reishi Paragon has been third party lab tested for both of the primary groups of therapeutic compounds in this fungus - beta-D-glucans & triterpenoids. Currently more than 100 fungal polysaccharides have been isolated from the fruiting body, many of which are beta-D-glucans. These constituents are significantly responsible for the beneficial influence this mushroom has on immune cells such as macrophages, lymphocytes and cytokines.Likewise, more than 130 different triterpenoid compounds have been discovered within Reishi fruiting bodies, spores and mycelia, with over 140 triterpene subtypes as well, which include a large assortment of unique Ganoderic acids. These triterpenes have shown remarkable therapeutic properties; antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-allergy, cytotoxic towards malignant cells, hepato-protective and regulatory towards many cardiovascular functions.Beta-D-glucans are captured via the hot water extraction phase, while triterpenes are soluble in ethanol and are collected during that second phase of the extraction. This is why multi-step dual-extraction is necessary - to harvest everything of medicinal value from the fruiting body. This is also why beta-D-glucans and triterpenes cannot both be very high in a single extract, because they are the result of separate extractions. Most products will advertise high percentages of polysaccharides, but this simply means the extract is predominantly (or solely) a hot water extract, containing little (or no) triterpenes.Previously, Reishi Paragon contained about 30% beta-D-glucans but only 5% triterpenes. While this was already an exceptional product, we have worked at narrowing that divide so that the end result reflects the finest specimens of wild Reishi, with a naturally strong triterpene content. The latest batch of Reishi Paragon contains 10.56% beta-D-glucans and a whopping 8.7% triterpenes! This is our most potent and well balanced Reishi extract yet! Take a look at the authorised 'Supplement Facts' label for this product in the image gallery at the top of this page.Finally, this extract is bottled in Miron Violet Glass – the best quality glass in the world – in order to protect and preserve the integrity of this outstanding medicine from ultraviolet degradation.Understanding Reishi SupplementsMost mushroom extracts are either hot water extracts only and contain no triterpenes at all, or they are dual-extracts (hot water & ethanol) but the dual-extraction is performed in a single step (water & ethanol combined). This produces an impure, low potency dual-extract that is low in the bio-active markers we are looking for.In regards to Reishi, a thorough multi-step extraction of high quality fruiting bodies should yield an end product that is rich in bioactive markers such as Reishi-specific beta-glucans 1>3 and 1>6 as well as triterpenes (ganoderic acids, lucidenic acids etc). There are hundreds of medicinally active compounds in Reishi, but these are some of the bioactive constituents that are naturally present in the highest quantities, are the most researched and are fundamentally involved in the health benefits we expect from a Reishi supplement. Therefore it is important that we can test for these as markers for a high quality Reishi extract.Beneficial effects are of course the result of an interdependent relationship between numerous compounds - some of which are in minute quantities - but if a Reishi product contains a negligible amount of beta-glucans & triterpenes then we cannot expect it to be medicinally viable.The overwhelming majority of products will not specify the exact presence of these compounds, simply because they are not present in any significant quantity, if at all. A high percentage of polysaccharides is not a reliable marker either as many producers are using dextrin, maltodextrin or corn starch as additives to increase the overall percentage of polysaccharides, even though they are not from Reishi and contain no medicinal value.Therefore, analysing for specific beta-glucans gives us a clear picture of just how potent a Reishi supplement is, and the percentage of triterpenes will show us that a dual-extraction has indeed taken place and many important sterols & triterpenoids are present. The higher the percentages will indicate that a multi-step extraction process been performed and the product is optimally potent, as well as free from therapeutically useless fillers & additives.Reishi Paragon exemplifies the true power of Reishi mushroom because it has been created for the sole purpose of delivering reliable quality & potency, without cutting any corners whatsoever.Nyishar products and the claims made about them on or through this site have not been evaluated by the MHRA or United States Food and DrugAdministration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

Purple Reishi with Spores: Immune system support- Anti-inflammatory- Supports healthy bones, joints & connective tissue- Can help with injury recovery- Cardiovascular tonic- Promotes healthy liver function- Helps to stabilise emotions and calm the mind- Regenerative & restorative Nyishar Purple Reishi Extract is concentrated at a 1:2 ratio, meaning that one part mushroom has been macerated in two parts liquid solvent, creating a maximum potency extract. Firstly, the fruiting body of Ganoderma sinense undergoes hydro-ethanolic dual-extraction, where both procedures are performed separately. The fruiting body is an incredibly rich source of fungal polysaccharides and beta-glucans, with a relatively low overall volume of triterpenes. This why the second process is a pure ethanol extraction of sporoderm-broken spores from Red Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), as the spores of this renowned species possess a very high percentage of bio-active triterpenes. In total three extracts are produced; hot water and ethanol extractions both fruiting body as well as the ethanol extraction of the sporoderm-broken spores. The hot water extraction is conducted within a pressurised environment to ensure that the water-soluble fraction of the medicine is collected without denaturing from the heat. Each of these extracts are then triple-filtered and combined to produce a complete medicine, offering a wide range pf therapeutic benefits.. Prior to extraction, the Purple Reishi fruiting body is cultivated in a protected mountain reserve in the south east of China, following traditional Di Tao practices. This is a centuries-old method that grows wild-simulated fungi in the same region that true wild specimens can be found. They are grown on the same wood from the same forest, immersed in exactly the same soil with the same micro-organisms, the weather is the same and the same water irrigates the cultivated mushrooms as well as the wild.

Purple Reishi Drops The Reishi of Legend Reishi is the ultimate tonic herb. Its reputation as a “mushroom of immortality” goes back thousands of years, even further back than written history. The Purple Reishi Mushroom was the most sought-after and revered type of Reishi. Today, as it has been for thousands of years, Purple Reishi is so rare that most herbalists have never seen it. It is a powerful life supporting herb. Of all the varieties of Reishi, it provides the most Jing. It also provides abundant Qi and Shen. Ron Teeguarden has been fortunate enough to have made acquaintance with a mountainman from Sichuan province in Central China who has located a remote and hidden valley where wild Purple Reishi grows. Dragon Herbs purchases his entire “harvest” twice a year (early summer and fall). There is enough available to produce a limited run twice a year. This is an ultimate tonic herbalists’ elixir.* Specifications: 2 fl. oz. Ingredients: Purple Reishi Raw Herb. Other Ingredients: water, alcohol. Usage: 3-12 droppers per day or as directed by your health care practitioner. Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance. If you don’t take the herbs, they won’t work.”

Duanwood Reishi Reishi Mushroom Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is the most revered herbal substance in Asia, ranking as the elite substance for the attainment of radiant health, longevity and spiritual attainment. It ranks in Asia with Ginseng, Deer Antler, Rhodiola, and Cordycepsas a pre-eminent tool in the attainment of radiant health. It has maintained that position for at least 3000 years, and its reputation and value are only increasing. Numerous legends provide a rich and extensive record of Reishi in Asian society. Reishi has traditionally been used as an anti-aging herb, and has been used for many diseases and disorders as well. It has long been a favorite tonic food supplement by the Chinese Royal family and virtually any one who could obtain it. Reishi was particularly revered by the followers of the Taoist tradition as the "Elixir of Immortality." Taoists have continuously claimed that Reishi promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, inner awareness and inner strength. They have used it to improve meditative practices and to protect the body, mind and spirit so that the adept could attain both a long and healthy life and “spiritual immortality” (enlightenment). Due to its rarity in the past, the common people could rarely obtain a Reishi mushroom, and it was popularly revered as a greater treasure than any jewel. Traditionally, Reishi is said to be a nourishing tonic, tonic to the three treasures (Jing, Qi and Shen). It is considered to be capable of building body resistance, and to be powerfully detoxifying to the cells and tissues of the body. Reishi is slightly sedative on an immediate basis but builds energy over time. Reishi is universally believed is Asia to prolong life and enhance intelligence and wisdom. Since Reishi has been known to have many functions, it has been the subject of a great deal of research in recent years. It is absolutely safe, being non-toxic. Reishi is a profound immune potentiator. It has been found to significantly improve the functioning of the immune system whether the immune system is deficient or excessive. In this sense, it is an immune "modulator" – that is, it helps to modulate, or regulate, and fine-tune the immune system. Our immune system is a virtually miraculous network of activities designed over millions of years to protect us from viruses, bacteria, parasites, molds, dust, pollen and malignant cells. It is the responsibility of the immune system to detect the intrusion, or invasion, of these entities and to mount a defense in order to eliminate them. A healthy immune system is capable of resisting most such intruders and a very hardy system may be able to resist invasions that many other people's systems cannot. If the immune system is weakened or malfunctioning, the invading microbes can easily establish a foothold in our body and disease sets in. Antibiotics can often be used to stop the invasion at this time, but chronic use of antibiotics further weakens the immune response. Furthermore, antibiotics are useless against viruses, pollens and most parasites. They are certainly useless against malignant (cancerous) cells generated in our own bodies. It is much better to resist the invasion from within with a fully fortified immune system and not become ill in the first place. This is where herbs like Reishi our now attracting the attention of scientists and consumers alike. Many chemical constituents play a role in Reishi’s immune modulating capacity. The polysaccharide components in particular seems to play an important role in attacking cancerous cells, but not healthy ones, while simultaneously strengthening the body's overall immune functions. The polysaccharides appear to help the body attack microbial invaders such as viruses, bacteria and yeast. But Reishi does not just "stimulate" the immune system. It regulates it. And that is what makes Reishi so precious. If the immune system is excessive, as is the case with autoimmune diseases and allergies, Reishi can have significant positive influence. A group of chemicals known as ganoderic acids help fight auto-immune diseases such as allergies. Ganoderic acids inhibit histamine release, improve oxygen utilization and improve liver functions. Ganoderic acids are also potent antioxidant free-radical scavengers. Still another component, Beta-1, 3-glucan, helps regulate and stabilize blood sugar levels. Not only that, but these same components have been shown to have powerful anti-tumor properties. Reishi is widely used in Asia to improve the cardiovascular system. It helps lower HDL (the "bad" cholesterol) and reduce excess fatty acids. It has been found to prevent and treat hardening of the arteries, angina and shortness of breath associated with coronary heart disease. It has also been approved in Japan and China for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, a serious auto-immune disease. Besides that, it is commonly prescribed by MD’s in Japan for chronic bronchitis, memory loss, insomnia, hyperlipidemia and a whole range of degenerative diseases of the elderly, including disorders associated with senility. Reishi is a superb anti-stress herb. Throughout history it has been used to bring balance into the lives of people who needed help in this department, and that means most everyone. Deep in antiquity, it was routinely used by mountain hermits, monks, Taoist adepts and spiritual seekers throughout Asia because it was believed to help calm the mind, ease tension, strengthen the nerves, strengthen memory, sharpen concentration, improve focus, build will power and, as a result, help build wisdom. That is why it was called the "Mushroom of Spiritual Potency" by these seekers. The people of Asia have never lost their faith in Reishi. They believe more than ever in Reishi's power to improve the quality of life by improving the inner life of a human being. All the scientific validation only explains the physical nature of Reishi, but it is the profound ability of Reishi to improve one's life on every plane that makes it so miraculous. Reishi is indeed calming and centering. Everyone who takes Reishi notices the peacefulness that seems to accompany its use. Many people are able to stop using chemical drugs. And Reishi seems to be cumulative, gradually strengthening the nerves and actually changing how we perceive life. Reishi is a substance that builds health on all levels. It is the rarest of jewels in Nature. Life itself is based on the ability to adapt to the stresses, the attacks, the challenges that come our way every day. Reishi seems to provide an incredible resource of the full range of energies we need to meet these challenges. Reishi is indeed "the great protector," protecting us on every level---physically, immunologically, mentally, and spiritually. It helps us adapt to the world and provides additional power for us to achieve a superior level of life. When we are so protected and so provided for, we can achieve things that otherwise would be impossible. That is whyReishi has been called the "herb of good fortune."

Cordyceps is a superior class tonic mushroom. The wild variety used in herbalism grows in very high mountains, primarily in Asia. The most famous and important, Di Tao source of wild Cordyceps is the Himalayas. This wild Cordyceps is very rare and extremely expensive. Cordyceps is famed throughout the world as a major Jing tonic (inner power, sexual, strength, bone marrow tonic) for men and women, as a major immune tonic, as a brain tonic, as a powerful tonic to the lungs and respiratory functions, and more.Mycologists have developed a cultured variety using the Cordyceps militaris species of Cordyceps. It is grown in a super-clean environment on a base of brown rice and other grains - it is 100% vegan. Cultured Cordyceps is an amazing treasure of health. And It is a superb value. Cultured Cordyceps is many multiples less expensive than the wild variety from the snowline of Tibet or Bhutan, yet it is very close in nutrition and herbal potency.In fact, it has a higher content of the established key Cordyceps' component, cordycepin, than the wild variety.Ron Teeguarden personally selected the finest grade freshly-cultured Cordyceps, and Dragon Herbs has had it extracted in our modern GMP extraction facility, using cutting edge technology and special proprietary techniques developed by Dragon Herbs.

22 Reishis 22 Reishis is a unique formulation composed of 22 wild woody mushrooms. All of these mushrooms are considered in China to be a form of “Reishi,” or “mushroom of immortality.” All of the 22 mushrooms have potent immune supporting activities that have been demonstrated over the centuries and in modern laboratory studies. All of the “Reishis” are potent Shen tonics as well. This is an extremely potent mushroom elixir like nothing else on the market. Since 22 Reishis is made entirely from wild mushrooms collected in rugged mountains, it is produced in very limited quantities. In China, certain woody mushrooms are held in extremely high esteem for their life-preserving, protective and generally tonic actions. Reishi Mushroom (known as Lingzhi in Chinese) is the King of Mushrooms and is generally regarded in the highest possible regard. Interestingly, in Asia, herbalists are well aware that there are several varieties of Reishi, and all of them are used as tonic herbs to promote radiant health. Each variety has its own strengths and value. In the herbal world of China, there are over 20 mushrooms that are called “Reishi,” the most important being Ganoderma lucidum. Some of the “Reishis” are not actually in the Ganoderma genus but are related or are otherwise extremely potent life-enforcing tonic herbs. All of them have been used for many centuries, so they are well established and well understood at least from a folk-use perspective. Some are readily available and some are very rare. 22 Reishis, a unique formulation created by Master Herbalist Ron Teeguarden, contains literally the 22 varieties of wild woody mushrooms that are sold in “Reishi specialty shops” in China as “Reishi.” They come from all over Asia – from Manchuria, Mongolia, Heaven Mountain, Tibet, Wuyi Mountain, Kunlun (Kyrgyzstan) etc. This is the first product that we know of, perhaps ever, that contains all 22 varieties of Reishi used in the Orient. Specifications: 2 fl. oz. Ingredients: Wild Ganoderma lucidum (Changbai Mountain Red Reishi), wild Purple Reishi, wild Purple Reishi with backward stem, wild Ganoderma lucidum (Heaven Mountain Antler-Shaped Reishi), wild Ganoderma sinensis (Black Reishi), wild Ganodermacapense, wild Fomes fomentarius, wild White Reishi, wild Phellinus igniarius, wild Phellinus uspini (Pine Tree Reishi), wild Inonotusobliquus (Siberian Chaga), wild Stemless Reishi, wild Bamboo Reishi, wild Ganoderma applanatum, wild Blood Reishi, wild Coriolus versicolor (Changbai Mountain), wild Beehive Reishi, Fuscoporia punctate, wild Mongolian Reishi, Wild Tibetan Reishi, wild Shaolin Temple Reishi Type 1 (large red), wild Shaolin Temple Type 2 (small brown), Wild Yunnan Reishi. Other Ingredients: water, alcohol. Usage: 1-6 droppers per day or as desired. Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance. If you don’t take the herbs, they won’t work.”

Wild Red Reishi Drops Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is currently recognized as one of the most important and beneficial tonic herbs in the world. Reishi has been the most revered herb in Asia since pre-historic times. Sages and emperors sought this herb to confer health, well being, good fortune and wisdom. Reishi is now widely cultivated, but Wild Reishi is very rare. It is not possible to collect very large amounts of it. It is special because it is totally natural. In the wild, it is a superb collector of Qi and Shen energy. It is called the “Herb of Spiritual Potency” and the “Mushroom of Immortality.” Reishi has only been cultivated for the past thirty years. Originally, of course, Reishi was collected in the wild. The historical records only discuss Wild Reishi. Dragon Herbs has developed a relationship with local herb collectors in the high altitude regions of Changbai Mountain, the Di Taoauthentic source of Reishi. These amazing people spend their entire lives scouring the remote pristine forests looking for the rarest herbs – Wild Reishi, Wild Ginseng, Wild Schizandra, Wild Asparagus, and so on. We are fortunate to have a limited but steady supply of truly wild Reishi mushroom. These mushrooms are not planted or wildcrafted by humans. They grow where they will, where they are perfectly suited. The growing environment is extremely harsh (alpine). As a result, they develop great power. Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops is made from pure WILD Red Reishi Mushroom fruiting bodies. The “fruiting body” is the part that looks like a mushroom. This is exactly the same Reishi that has been revered as the “Mushroom of Immortality.” We do not use any mycelia (underground growth), and there are no additives of any sort in the production of Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops. Dragon Herbs uses only Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies – we do not mix species in this product. (If you want mixed mushroom species, see Dragon Herbs 22 Reishis, a proprietary blend of 22 wild mushroom varieties from various remote mountain sources from Mongolia to Tibet to Manchuria to Kunlun and beyond.) Wild Red Reishi, because it is WILD, possesses more Shen than cultivated varieties of Reishi. Most hot-house Reishi, which is usually made from only the artificially generated mycelia, possesses little Shen, if any. No herb on earth is more capable of supporting the development of Shen than WILD Red Reishi. Wild Red Reishi is much more difficult to analyze and quantify than cultivated Reishi. The mushrooms grow on different varieties of trees, and grow in different environments on the mountain. This variety is perhaps of special value, but it means that there is no way to standardize the product. Dragon Herbs does mix mushrooms collected from various ecological niches on Changbai Mountain, so that the wildness of the Reishi is accentuated. Furthermore, the mushrooms are of course not all of the same age. Some are “Grandfather Reishi,” some are middle aged, and some are young (though we only use mature Reishi fruiting bodies in our product). This age difference does mean that the chemical constituents in different mushrooms will be different. We, of course, consider this to be a benefit because it expands the range of phytochemicals. Dragon Herbs Wild Red Reishi Drops is one of the most wonderful herbal products available in the world. It is produced with exacting care to extract both water and alcohol soluble components and to protect the energy and spirit of the mushrooms. Wild Red Reishi Drops is a very potent 8:1 hydro-ethanolic extract. That means that it takes 8 pounds of these Wild Red Reishimushrooms to make one gallon of finished extract. Even if you regularly consume a Duanwood Reishi product such as Duanwood Reishi capsules or Supreme Protector, you owe it to yourself to consume a bottle of Wild Red Reishi from time to time – or to make it part of your regular Reishi regiment.* Traditional Function: Tonifies Qi and Shen. Who can use it? People who want to take Reishi for its Shen benefits. Concentration: 8:1 Specifications: 2 fl. oz Ingredients: Wild Changbai Mountain Red Reishi fruiting body.

This Reishi Mushroom extract powder is a wild crafted tonic herb for cultivating Spiritual energy, modulating immune function, and promoting health, longevity, and peace of mind. According to Shen Nong's Divine Husbandman's Classic of the Materia Medica: "Long term consumption [of Reishi mushroom] will lighten the body and prevent aging, extend one's life, and make one an immortal." We at Jing Herbs agree. As a matter of fact, if you were given the choice of taking only one herb for the rest of your life, from all the herbs in the world, we belileve Reishi should be your choice. It has a legendary status in the Orient because of its ability to profoundly affect so many aspects of your life in a positive manner. Reishi mushroom, also known as the "Mushroom of Immortality" and the "Herb of Good Fortune" is considered by many to be the quintessential tonic herb because of its ability to nurture all Three Treasures (Jing, Qi, Shen). It is an adaptogenic and longevity herb that helps to support and regulate immune function, protect the cardio vascular system, and support and protect the liver. But perhaps its greatest function is that of a Shen tonic. It is unrivalled in its ability to open the Heart, calm the Spirit, and connect you to your higher self. It enhances wisdom and supports spiritual evolution and insight. In addition to the Reishi extract, we have added potent Reishi spores to this product. Spores are essentially the seeds of the mushroom. They house the essence of the Reishi mushroom and contain many nutrients in that hyper potentiate the effects of Reishi.

It has maintained that reputation for at least 2,500 years, and its reputation and value are only increasing. Reishi, also known by its Chinese name of Ling Zhi or its botanical name of Ganoderma lucidum, is extremely safe and non-toxic. Duanwood™ Reishi is an organically cultivated variety of Reishi that has potent immune tonifying potency.This product is made from 100% Duanwood™ Reishi, and is rich in all of the components that make Reishi great. The Reishi is grown on logs cut wild from the forest. Duanwood Reishi is far more powerful than common hothouse (plastic bag) Reishi and Reishi mycelium, the most common sources of “reishi” raw materials on the American market. “Duan” means “original and authentic.” So “Duanwood” means “authentic wood” — the same exact wood Reishi grows on in nature. Duanwood Reishi™ is Dragon Herbs’ proprietary cultivated Reishi, grown in a remote high mountain forest on Wuyi Mountain, naturally irrigated with mountain spring water, in air as fresh as any on earth, in pure virgin mountain-forest soil. The logs are sustainably wild harvested. All this yields the most potent Reishi.Ron Teeguarden has been selling Reishi since 1976, which makes this his 40th anniversary in the trade. Ron has visited several dozen Reishi plantations in Asia. When Ron states that this is the best cultivated Reishi in the world, it is based on deep experience. Duanwood™ Reishi is made with 50% Reishis that are on the verge of going to spore and are at peak energy. The other 50% are mushrooms that have gone to spore the very day they are collected. Reishi spores have special qualities that enhance the overall benefits of this extract. Reishi spores are a profound Jing and immune tonic. *The terms Duanwood™ and Duanwood Reishi™ are trademarks of Dragon Herbs.Ingredients: Duanwood Reishi fruiting body.
