I forage a sell wild reishi and chaga mushrooms. Because of that fact I felt I should try them if I was going to sell them to other people and recommend them if asked. I started with chaga and found that I liked it as a tea and later as a dual extraction. I don't drink it every day but maybe three or four times a week. Reishi took a bit longer before I tried it but by then I'd learned so much about it and was getting into making dual extracts so I gave it a try. I've never had trouble sleeping except for being a light sleeper. I'd heard it helped with deeper sleep, more vivid dreams and more restfull sleep. Generally 7.5 hours of sleep was a good night and 6 was sufficient. Well a couple teaspoons of reishi extract and I have to make myself get up after 9 hours! The other day I logged 10 hours. I'm a 63 year old contractor and it's winter as I write this so it's my slow season and I really needed some down time. I pretty much work 6 days a week and had a vacation about 25 years ago so I'm not exactly a lazy person. The chaga seems to be giving me a energy boost as well. My foraging trips, which I consider my "day off", often consists of me carrying out a 50 pound (or more) pack of mushrooms. Chaga in winter often on snowshoes and in summer 90 degree reishi hunts. 10 years ago I remember getting winded go up stairs. Maybe its the excercise but I think it's the mushrooms as well. Sorrry for the long story but I thought somebody who needs hope might take heart. Oh I forgot to mention my bad back and a while back I was having trouble with both knees. No surgeries, no therapy, no doctors ( no money, no insurance, lol).

Hi DR. Jessica, I've been using a double extract regularly and recently I experianced constant sinus drainage. I'd just seen my grandsons and they'd been ill and their mother came down ill after our meeting so I thought I was coming down with what they had. That was about 4 days ago now. Two days ago before foraging I took a dosage of dual extract and later realized the drainage ceased. This morning I tried fresh reishi tea. First time actually. I thought I'd tried it before but I think it was birch polypore. Which by the way, is quite horrible. Long story short, the tea was good. Quite pleasant and after a night of constant drainage the drainaged has all but ceased. 30 Minutes after ingest the reishi tea. Not to sound spooky but I had re-occuring dream/thoughts of using a hot water extraction to up the polysacharides intake. I say dream/thoughts because It wasn't a dream but those restless thoughts one gets while not quite asleep. I'm going to try using the tea more often to see if the sinus issues go away. As a side note I am prone to sinus headaches 2-3 times a month. Usually after a dusty day of work and since using more reishi I haven't used the sinus headache medicine in several months. My wifes been saying probably allegies but that's what she always says, lol.

Hello, Should I be taking Reishi if I have Multiple Sclerosis?

[wingnutmcspazatron]

I just had a reishi vape pen not knowing what it was.. it's like an identical twin to marijuana. Like I can barely tell the difference. I have low tolerance to both so I get REAL messed up when I do them but they're so related I can't tell.
