Here in Japan, where everyone celebrates each season with a reverence you might consider a religion, the rainy season has just ended. What a relief! Everyone is eating eel to bolster their strength for the coming HOT, buying new cotton kimonos (yukata) and making plans to attend a firework display or summer festival.

One thing everyone seems to know about in Japan is the Reishi mushroom. Scientific name Ganoderma Lucidum. It’s a bright red mushroom from China that has an old and mystical history. It’s listed in the oldest medical manual in China (200BC) as the king of herbs, and is said to have the power to heal diseases, restore youth, and prolong life. On pain of death, the only people allowed to benefit from this very rare natural phenomenon were kings and nobles.

Modern science has confirmed that Reishi really does have some remarkable qualities. It contains elements that have been known to help fight a variety of cancers, and also:

1. Rejuvenates at a cellular level
2. Promotes feeling young and alert
3. Reduces fatigue – both mental and physical
4. Supportw and modulates the immune system
5. Promotes restful sleep
6. Improves overall performance

Most people here know about Reishi, but not many people take it. It’s horribly expensive, and tastes awful.

This is the secret ingredient that’s in the healthy coffee I gave my mom and dad.  I just took a box to a lady who has nervous hives from tip to toe. It’s going to be interesting to see how she is doing next week.
