Reishi Mushroomis a potent adaptagen.There are certain types of herbs that will help us in handling stress, and handle stress more successfully and more efficiently. Fundamentally what an adaptagen does is it goes in and it modulates our access between the hypothalamus, the pituitary, and then the adrenals, which is what's controlling our stress response, controlling our “fight or flight” response. So what reishi goes in and does is asserts, O.K, it may take five units of stress to throw you into “fight or flight,” so lets bump that up to seven. Now it may take you seven units of stress before you really go into “fight or flight.” And when you go into “fight or flight,” instead of it lasting for 5, ten minutes, let’s shrink that down to 2 or 3 minutes.
So essentially you are able to handle more stress, and if you do stress, the process is way more efficient and effective so you're not in “fight or flight,” you're not in stress, you're not in adrenal fatigue for as long. So that the whole process could be like this when you start out, and then over time , it begins to shrink down and shrink down and shrink down and get far littler and far littler till you really get back to a point that's healthy. because we're not meant to be stressed all of the time, we're not intended to be just tripping out and worrying about things all of the time. We are meant to just be relaxed and chilled, and then okay, something is leaping out at us.
When we're stressed, we want to react. We need to get out of the situation, and then we need to go right back to being calm. But many of us are living in a low-grade, adrenal fatigue of low-grade, “fight or flight” all of the time, and we never be able to get a opportunity to basically relax and just let that stress go.
So I can remember when I was about maybe 21 or so, maybe a little bit earlier–it was 2003, 2004. I would notice situations that would stress me out, and I didn’t realize it at the time that I was stressing, but I would feel a pain in my lower back. It would be kind of tingly and kind of hurt, and it would trickle and tingle all the way up to the back of my neck, and I would get kind of lightheaded and just feel really tense and anxious.
So after about a month of taking reishi on a regular basis, and I noticed the pains in my back started to go down, started to be less, and I noticed I started to feel more in the flow, more able to handle what was going on in the situations that were presenting themselves to me. What happened was I started taking it and I kept taking it on a regular basis–consistent basis–because I saw the benefits, and I knew how amazing it was. Eventually, the stress started to just melt away. My situation didn’t change, it actually got worse, but what happened was that my body changed, my biochemistry changed
I feel like reishi is one of the finest anti-stress herbs from my own private experience, both from what I have done and seen in my body, and also what I have seen from consulting and working with and coaching folks over the last 5 years. By
