The weather’s been somewhat crazed…pouring on and off, and really literally realizing the saying: “When it rains, it pours..” The temperamental weather has especially not been too helpful since I was going to make a delivery of KENREISHI today.

Here’s an excerpt of a clincical study done :
“2.7. Blood Pressure Stabilizing Components
Reishi has been assumed to have both hypotensive and hypertensive properties (homeostasis).

According to one report, the blood pressure of about half the patients with hypertension was reduced when a Reishi extract was administered.
