Reishi mushroom slices have historically been utilized as a qi tonic in Traditional Chinese Medicine, earning the name “mushroom of immortality”. Reishi slices are easy to manage and can be decocted as reishi mushroom tea, added to herbal broths, and tinctured.

Reishi has been cited thousands of years ago in several texts and scripts as being a tonic for emperors. At one time this mushroom was specifically used under the prestigious vestiges of the ruling class, but it has since made its way into the pantries of us common folk. Traditional and contemporary Chinese medicine admire it as a tonic benefiting vital energy or "Qi". Modern day demand has forced its cultivation in Japan, China and the United States which is promising for the wild stands of Reishi.
