A magical way to detox

Rather than having an invasive colonic or eating nothing but greens for a week, why not try an easy natural way to help your body detox from this year’s Christmas festivities?

Toxins that build up in our bodies cause us to feel ill and lethargic and can lead to long term damage to the body’s organs and systems. The concept of detoxing is to give your body a break from these toxins and time to recover and regenerate, alongside feeding it things like anti-oxidants, molecules reported to significantly reduce the oxidative damage by free radicals and active oxygen.

Whilst there are many weird and wonderful detox methods out there a tried and tested natural remedy has been used in the East for thousands of years and has recently appeared on shelves in the UK…

Reishi is ranked as the number one herb in Chinese medicinal texts and is known as the ‘mushroom of immortality’ and ‘God’s Herb’, being seen as a symbol of divinity, longevity and good fortune. The mushroom has traditionally been very rare however, once reserved solely for the use of Emperors, and has only recently reached UK shores.

Whilst it may have been around for thousands of years its properties are just as beneficial today as ever. With strong anti-oxidant effects, and studies to show it to have liver protective properties reishi is a great way to help the body to naturally detox. Furthermore some users even claim to have fewer, or not as severe, hangovers when taking red reishi essence!

Reishi has also been seen to help boost the immune system, (just voted in the top 10 immune boosting products by the Daily Mail), improve sleep, boost energy levels and improve general well being; therefore helping get your body back in shape after Christmas and New Year indulgencies.

Red Reishi is best used to boost general well being and help normalize bodily functions with no side effects, boosting the body's defenses and contributing to overall vitality. Red Reishi comes in easy to swallow capsules - and most importantly it gets to work incredibly quickly and the benefits can be seen and felt in as little as 10 days.

Leading the red reishi revolution in the UK is Haeon Ltd (haeon.com). Their Mikei Red Reishi Essence has just been launched in leading UK health stores. It is seen that red reishi’s effectiveness is dependent on the medium on which the mushrooms are grown and the red reishi used in Mikei Red Reishi Essence is grown on Japanese aged oak logs, producing one of the highest quality red reishi extracts available.

Mikei Red Reishi Essence is now available in leading health stores and online at haeon.com priced £39.99 (box of 30 capsules = 1 months supply).
