Reishi and sleep
We all know that our quality of life depends in part on our sleep. But going to bed at the right time, falling asleep right away and having a full and perfectly restful night is sometimes difficult, or even impossible for some people. In this case, why not turn to Reishi, this small Asian mushroom known for its soothing properties, to help you get back to sleep? The Phytomisan laboratory talks to you here about reishi and sleep.
Origin of Reishi
Reishi is a small mushroom native to China and Japan and used for many centuries in Chinese medicine. It is also called “long-lived mushroom” in Asia. Known for its possible virtues and benefits, it is sometimes recommended to combat fatigue. Reishi cannot be cooked, but it can be consumed in powder form, in liquid or solid extract, or in dried pieces to prepare in the form of a decoction. THE reishi and sleep could thus have a link, but what are the possible benefits?
Reishi and sleep: the possible link
So, what are the possible benefits of Reishi for sleep? This little mushroom would have been capable ofhelp fight fatigue. It could also act as relaxing and thus helping with sleep.
This action is based on two types of active compounds present in Reishi. They could thus regulate the central nervous system, making it possible to fight against sleep disorders linked to stress. They could also participate in the regulation of the circadian rhythm (wake-sleep) and help to find a healthy biological rhythm made for you.
By reducing stress during the day and influencing sleep through its calming and soothing properties, Reishi could prepare the body to sleep better. It is possible to prepare a reishi drink every evening, but be careful, its bitterness can be confusing to the taste. For easier consumption, you can buy Reishi in the form of food supplements.
Reishi in food supplements
Since consuming reishi powder, or extract, can be complex on a daily basis, it may be simpler to consume Reishi in the form of food supplements. Phytomisan has chosen to offer you Reishi in the form of capsules.
As a course of 2 capsules per day, the first with your breakfast and the second with dinner, Reishi capsules could help you get better sleep and fight against fatigue.

Cancer Doctor & Founder of Phytomisan
A graduate of the prestigious King Edward Medical College, Dr Shahid Nasim has devoted over 35 years to medicine, practicing as a cancer specialist in the UK, France, Germany and Switzerland. His medical vocation was born from a deeply personal commitment: at the age of 7, following the death of his mother from cancer, he promised her that he would devote himself to finding effective treatments for the disease.
Combining modern medical expertise with ancestral wisdom, Dr. Nasim immersed himself in the in-depth study of traditional medicine books, including Avicenna's "Canon of Medicine" (Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb), a historical reference for European and Middle Eastern medical schools. This exploration allowed him to identify more than 300 plants with exceptional properties for human and animal health.
In 2010, after four years of intensive research, he founded Phytomisan to offer exceptional natural solutions, the result of a unique synergy between modern science and traditional phytotherapy. His exclusive formulations – which he himself uses daily with his family – have won a loyal clientele across Europe and beyond.
A committed humanist, Dr. Nasim also devotes his energy to the creation of the Nasim Foundation, intended to support orphaned children suffering from cancer. In his articles, he shares his medical and phytotherapeutic expertise to help you understand and effectively use botanical treasures for your health.
"Nature offers us solutions of extraordinary power. My mission is to reveal them in all their effectiveness to sustainably improve your daily well-being." – Dr. Shahid Nasim
