Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) has been revered for thousands of years throughout East Asia as a tonic of longevity, spiritual depth, and inner harmony. Sometimes called “The Mushroom of Immortality,” Reishi has been traditionally used to support overall vitality, resilience, and balance across body, mind, and spirit. Our honey extract captures its deep, earthy essence in a form that is both shelf-stable and sweetly grounding.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Reishi is considered one of the most important shen tonics—used to nourish and protect the spirit, calm the heart, and support emotional resilience. Shen is often described as the radiance of the heart—the seat of consciousness and spiritual awareness. Reishi is said to anchor the shen, allowing one’s true nature to shine through. Its use has been especially valued by Taoist practitioners, monks, and meditators as a companion for cultivating peace, clarity, and spiritual insight.
In Ayurvedic terms, Reishi carries the qualities of being stabilizing, slightly warming, and tonifying—bringing balance to Vata and Pitta when excess movement or intensity affects the mind. Its grounding and sattvic nature make it an ideal ally for meditation, introspection, and establishing deeper presence. Traditionally, herbs with these energetics are used to promote ojas, the vital essence that nourishes immunity and spiritual strength.
In Plant spirit, Reishi is considered a wise elder—offering subtle support without force. It is seen as a gentle teacher, helping to calm mental turbulence, soften fear, and support a steady return to one’s center. Its medicine is not flashy, but deeply enduring—encouraging alignment between body, heart, and soul over time.
Ojas Naturals Honey Extracts are created using a proprietary process developed from traditional Ayurvedic methods. The honey used in the extraction process works to extract different constituents of the plants, providing a more complete extraction while also adding a pleasant, sweet flavor and, according to the Ayurvedic tradition, honey acts as a carrier during the digestive process, carrying and assimilating the herbs deeper into tissues.
