REISHI MYCO HONEY PEARLS (150g)

'Mushroom of Immortality' or 'Eternal Youth'

Reishi or ‘mushroom of eternal youth’ is one of the most recognised medicinal mushrooms and has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In Asia it is a ‘symbol of longevity and happiness’. It is therefore considered ‘the King of mushrooms' in TCM.

Reishi, revered as the 'Mushroom of Immortality' by ancient herbalists, holds a special place in traditional Chinese medicine, renowned for its potential health benefits. Recognised as a Shen tonic, Reishi is believed to play a role in supporting a resilient immune system and fostering a balanced response to stress. It is admired for its potential calming effects, promoting a sense of equilibrium in the spirit and potential enhancement of sleep quality. Embraced as a versatile herb, Reishi is thought to offer support to the Heart, Kidneys, Lungs, and Liver, potentially influencing the Three Treasures (Jing, Qi, and Shen) and harmonizing with the five Taoist organ systems.

In China, Reishi is known as ling zhi, symbolising the 'spirit plant' or the 'tree of life mushroom.' The Chinese characters for ling zhi depict a shaman praying for rain, signifying its profound connection to nature. The Latin translation of Ganoderma, 'gano' (shiny) and 'derma' (skin), captures its regal and lustrous appearance.

Historically, Reishi was considered a rare treasure, often reserved for emperors and royalty. Its significance is depicted in Chinese art, temples, statues, and legends spanning millennia. Kuan Yin, the goddess of healing, is occasionally portrayed carrying a Reishi mushroom, emphasising its revered properties. This esteemed polypore was sometimes placed above doorways in the Orient as a protective talisman.

Rich in beta-glucans and over 100 distinct polysaccharides, Reishi is believed to offer a variety of potential health benefits. Triterpenes, responsible for its distinctive bitter taste, are extracted through our subcritical water extraction process involving steam and pressure, all while maintaining the actual integrity and whole mushroom in our powders. Consider incorporating Reishi into your wellness routine to explore its potential holistic benefits, promoting vitality and well-being.

Our Myco-Honey Pearls are crafted using a ‘Traditional Chinese Medicine’ (TCM) method dating back 2000 years, designed to enhance the absorption of mushroom medicine. Transforming our mushroom powders into ‘Myco-Honey Pearls’ allows for gradual and sustained absorption of active ingredients, ensuring high bioavailability and prolonged release. The efficacy of our formulas lies in this method of delivery, embodying authentic TCM at its core!

HONEY - Raw Western Australia honey boasts a rich array of medicinal benefits, making it a prized addition to our Myco-Honey Pearls. Honey is known for its natural antibacterial properties which help combat infections and promote wound healing, while its anti-inflammatory effects soothe sore throats and alleviate coughs. But many are unaware that Raw Honey is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, that supports immune function and aids in digestive health by promoting beneficial gut bacteria. Its gentle energy boost, coupled with its ability to soothe allergies, makes it a versatile remedy for various ailments. Additionally, raw honey from Western Australia retains more of its natural enzymes and nutrients, enhancing its therapeutic potency and overall health benefits.

MUSHROOM POWDER / EXTRACTION - We import the highest quality (ONLY the whole fruiting body of mushrooms) and employ a Sub Critical Water Extraction method (SWE) in Australia, ensuring accurate identification and guaranteed quality.

MYCO-HONEY PEARLS- enhance the bioavailability of mushrooms by bypassing the stomach, avoiding digestion by stomach acids. This unique method allows them to reach the small intestine directly, where they cross intestinal walls and enter the bloodstream, dispersing their benefits throughout the body systematically. This time-tested administration approach, rooted in millennia-old Chinese medicine practices, has demonstrated superior efficacy in treating chronic conditions targeted by mushrooms.

Utilising innovative green technology, specifically sub-critical water extraction, our process distinguishes itself by excluding alcohol (while ensuring an equivalently efficient or improved extraction compared to water and alcohol methods.)

Following extraction, we blend the compounds with the entirety of the mushroom, creating a harmonious composition that captures the balanced complexity of all available bioactive compounds (as nature intended). The inclusion of well-recognised beneficial β-glucans is pivotal, and preserving the entire mushroom extends the array of advantageous compounds.
