* Spiritual : Reishi is a lucidity-enhancing adaptogenic substance meaning that it calms the body and mind through restoring balance to the body’s organs and bio-energetic systems, not through sedation, which is how most relaxing herbs work. Sedation actually dulls the nervous system, similar in effect to alcohol. However, both Gotu Kola and Reishi actually sensitize the nervous system by reducing interference and calming overactive organs and stress-response biosystems. This is like removing the static from a radio signal, which allows more detail of the sounds coming through to be properly heard. In that sense, as Reishi removes the inflammation, stress and tension and begins to harmonize the different organs and systems in the body, the nervous system becomes primed into peak sensitivity and function, allowing us to experience what was always there but we had previously been too dulled to experience/notice.
