Reishi mushroom can also help improve the quality of life of people already living with cancer. For example, research has shown that reishi mushroom can help increase the activity of the body's white blood cells, which help fight cancer.

Of course, it's important to note that these studies were done on animals or humans with small groups of participants. More studies with larger groups of participants are needed to confirm these findings.

Nevertheless, these studies are encouraging and suggest that reishi mushroom may be beneficial to people who want to live longer and healthier lives.

Preparing reishi mushroom tea is very simple. You can buy reishi mushroom in the form of capsules, powder or whole mushrooms. To prepare reishi mushroom tea, brew 1-2 teaspoons of mushrooms in 1 cup of boiling water. Allow to steep for 10-15 minutes, then strain.
