Even though I belong and work in the field of medicine, I do not always pop a pill when I get sick. I I confess I do natural means to get rid of colds, sinuses, allergies. One great find I plan to try is the Reishi mushroom. Reishi is a traditional Chinese tonic, known as Ling-Zhi. It is used to nourish, tonify, and supplement the whole body as it removes toxins and disperses accumulation. It calms and nourishes the nervous system, strengthens the lungs, protects and stimulates the liver and helps the body adapt to stress. Considered among the most powerful natural healing herbs in Asia, Red Reishi was very rare and expensive to obtain until recently. The ingredients are being studied for their positive effects on the immune system, including anti-tumor activity. Asian cultures have also used Reishi, rendered in jade, as a talisman worn around the neck. Sometimes, whole dried Reishi are placed in the home to ward off evil. Sounds very very good for the immune system!
