How we use it
“One of the main reasons I love Reishi is its ability to guide the body to a peaceful state of balance. Most TCM principles refer to Reishi as a Shen tonic, which loosely translates to a herb that nourishes the spirit. Additionally, adding Reishi to your night-time routine can help promote peaceful sleep.”
