Reap the benefits of autumn Reishi soup for health & wellness

Autumn is an excellent season for nourishment. As the ancient saying goes, “Nothing beats a bowl of soup in autumn.” The “Eight Character Health Preserving Sutra” records “Steam in spring, mix in summer, soup in autumn, stew in winter,” highlighting the benefits of consuming soup in autumn. The ancient “Shennong Materia Medica” ranks Reishi mushroom as a top-grade ingredient. It states that Ganoderma sinense “treats deafness, benefits joints, protects the spirit, boosts essence, strengthens muscles and bones, improves complexion. Long-term consumption leads to a light body, delays aging and extends life.” Ganoderma lucidum “treats chest congestion, benefits heart qi, supplements the center, increases wisdom and memory. Long-term consumption leads to a light body, delays aging, extends life .” 

So, what are the benefits of consuming Reishi mushroom soup as a nourishment in autumn?

1.Tonifies qi, tranquilizes the mind, suppressescough and relieveswheezing

The “Chinese Pharmacopoeia” records that “Reishi tonifies qi, tranquilizes the mind, suppresses cough, and relieves wheezing. It is used for disquieted heart spirit, insomnia and palpitations, cough and wheezing caused by lung deficiency, consumptive disease with shortness of breath, and no appetite.” Therefore, consuming Reishi in autumn is beneficial for maintaining body balance.

2.Regulates the Whole Body and Enhances Immunity

Reishi has a history of consumption spanning thousands of years. It not only provides the body with essential nutrients but also regulates the functions of all body systems, achieving the effects of strengthening the body’s constitution, enhancing immunity, and maintaining a healthy body balance.

The impact of Reishi on cellular immune function is an important aspect of its immunoregulatory effects. Researchers have found that Reishi extract acts on T cells, promoting the synthesis of T cell DNA, stimulating the proliferation of Th cells and lymphocytes, and enhancing the killing activity of CTLs. Studies suggest that the immune enhancement of Reishi polysaccharides is related to the enhancement of PKA and PKC activity. (Information source: Lin Zhibin’s “Modern Research on Reishi”)
