Reishi: Ancient Herb for Modern Times

This little 48 page book provides a great summary of what is known about the medicinal properties of reishi mushrooms. While enthusistic, it is not 'wild-eyed' as evidenced by the 106 citations to technical articles included in the list of references. Some of the afflictions reishi is said to help:

• insomnia
• heart disease
• high blood pressure
• cancer
• allergies
• inflammation
• hepatitis
