Reishi

Description

Product Description

Reishi has a long history of use across Asian traditions, where it was associated with calm strength and restoration. It is often described as a mushroom that supports the body’s ability to settle and recover.

Rather than acting quickly, Reishi is traditionally taken over time as part of a consistent wellbeing routine.

How to Work with This Plant

Often chosen in the evenings, during stressful periods or when prioritising rest and recovery.

What’s in the Blend

The Mantra Approach

At Mantra, we approach plants with respect rather than urgency. We work with traditional knowledge while staying honest about what modern research does and does not yet tell us. Some plants have a growing body of human research, while others are primarily supported by historical and cultural use. This product is offered as part of a wellbeing ritual, not as a medical intervention.
