Taoist Tonic Herbs

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.”

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.
