Peace in Every Cup.
Reishi, ashwagandha and three of our chocolates for calm days and quiet evenings.
THE MUSHROOM OF PEACE
In Taoist tradition, reishi is the great Shen tonic, the herb for a calm heart and a peaceful mind. Monks and sages took it to settle the spirit, and in research, reishi has been shown to extend sleep time in animal studies.¹
Ashwagandha brings calm strength. In a 60-day placebo-controlled study, adults taking ashwagandha root extract felt less stressed and had lower cortisol levels.²
A CALMING PAIR
Our reishi is a 50/50 blend of dual-extracted wildcrafted Duanwood reishi and cracked-cell reishi spores. Our ashwagandha is a root extract standardized to over 5% withanolides.
Together they make a perfect evening ritual, and the reishi even helps the ashwagandha mix in smoothly. The chocolate bars round it out, with Tranquility made from reishi, he shou wu and ashwagandha.
THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO REISHI

You'll also learn why we combine the fruiting body with cracked reishi spores.
