Reishi Mushrooms AKA Ganoderma Luciderm

I personally have been using this for over a year which resulted in much better sleep, less hayfever when the seasons come and go, a more calm overall feeling, and probably many more benefits that I haven't even linked to the reishi.

I know exactly what you are thinking.....So what is it and how do you get it?? Reishi Mushroom is technically known as Ganoderma Luciderm and is a medicinal mushroom with very coarse texture, like the bark of a tree. It can't be eaten like a portabella, but it's extract can be taken in various forms. There are special healing effects of Ganoderma herb on circulatory system, nervous system and immune system as well as its anti-cancer effects. This is not a theory, it's been scientifically studied for years with proven numerous health benefits!! It is used in Japan for their mainstream cancer treatments, it's not even considered alternative medicine there.
