What is it?
Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), often called the “Mushroom of Immortality,” is a revered adaptogen known for its ability to calm the mind, strengthen immunity, and support long-term vitality. Used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years, Reishi is prized for its ability to restore balance in the body. In Rooted blends, it helps regulate stress, boost immune defenses, and promote deep inner wellness.

How does it work?
Reishi contains powerful compounds like triterpenoids, beta-glucans, and polysaccharides that work on multiple systems in the body. It helps reduce cortisol levels, supports the nervous system, and enhances immune cell activity, especially natural killer (NK) cells that fight off pathogens.
Its calming properties make it ideal for promoting relaxation, deeper sleep, and resilience to daily stressors, while its liver-supportive and antioxidant effects contribute to overall longevity.
