Reishi was first documented in one of the world's oldest pharmacopeia, possibly written as long as 5000 years ago. Known in Chinese medicine as "Ling Zhi" meaning "plant that nourishes the spirit", this revered mushroom has been treasured for millennia.
The earliest known recording of Reishi is found in China's oldest Herbal Classic book, where Taoist priests studied it in the quest for longevity and vitality.
