‘Eternal’ mushroom may help you look like you NEVER age
Friend, I’ll admit that sometimes it feels like an UPHILL climb… trying to SPREAD the word about herbal medicine and natural cures.
The mainstream is FULL of naysayers… and sometimes it feels like a competition of whoever can yell the loudest.
But there’s something that gives me hope – and that’s how so many companies in the cosmetic industry have so FULLY embraced natural ingredients in its products.
The HOTTEST trends in skincare often involve the very same herbs and substances that are MAKING WAVES in the underground of alternative medicine!
Now, not ALL of them are great products… and I wish MORE of them were more affordably priced for regular folks like you and me.
But when I see something getting well-deserved attention… even if it’s from the “beauty” category… I get a little excited.
Today, I’d like to share one of those “trendy” ingredients with you – one you may have already read about in magazines or online.
It’s been called the “elixir of external youth”… and it could actually LIVE UP to the hype.
Of all the medicinal mushrooms out there… reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is one you’ve most likely already HEARD of.
But you might have NO CLUE as to the full EXTENT of its health benefits!
Although it was FIRST recorded in the 1st century… it’s thought to have existed as many as 100 years before the birth of Christ.
The earliest practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine found the fungus growing on the stumps of maple trees in the forest…
And they immediately PRIZED it for its ability to provide “everlasting life.”
Back then, only those in the emperor’s court could afford this “Mushroom of Immortality.”
Fortunately, it’s pretty accessible now… even in this country.
Now, you probably won’t live FOREVER… with or without reishi…
But thanks to this mushroom, it might LOOK like you never age!
Its content of beta-glucans makes reishi an anti-inflammatory powerhouse – and on the inside, that could keep many diseases of “old age” at bay.
Beta-glucan is also what makes reishi known for its immune-enhancing qualities…
And even its ability to help fight cancer!
On the outside, reishi could help COOL OFF red and irritated skin…
DESTROY age-accelerating free radicals…
And HYDRATE dry skin so it looks YOUNGER… with FEWER fine lines.
It could even help LIGHTEN discolored skin… and ERASE the signs of UV damage!
Even better, it’s so gentle… it’s safe to use on sensitive skin.
Look for it as a star ingredient in creams… serums… and other topical applications.
Dr. Andrew Weil has a line of reishi-based skincare products with the natural-friendly brand Origins – which I think says a lot, since I wouldn’t consider Dr. Weil to be particularly easily convinced by most natural alternatives.
And if you’re interested in supplementing with reishi to reap its FULL spectrum of benefits… look for organic reishi whole mushrooms… extract… or powder.
Ideally, choose a product that’s been STANDARDIZED to contain a certain minimum percentage of polysaccharides and/or triterpenes.
