Combination of medicinal mushrooms Reishi and medicinal plant jujube supports sleep and harmonises the psyche. In traditional Chinese medicine, Reishi has the function ofAn shen, which is translated as ”calms the mind”. We used Reishi in the form of finely ground powder, which is essential for this function. The second component of the mixture is Suan Zao Ren, jujuba, bylinka, which Chinese doctors have used for thousands of years in recipes for harmonious sleep. Gan Cao or licorice harmonises the whole mixture and promotes its absorbability. The difference between the MycoSleep and MycoStress mixtures is that MycoSleep, according to traditional Chinese medicine, affects XIN (fire element – heart, home of the spirit Shen) and MycoStress affects GAN (wood element – liver, home of the spirit Hun).

According to Chinese medicine, a person having a problem with XIN is unanchored, psychologically unbalanced, forgetful, perceives his/her heartbeat, has restless sleep, gets scared easily and is rather pale.

A person having a problem with GAN can’t relax, is tense or withdrawn, mood changes, a lot of things get worse due to stress or emotion,  women’s symptoms are usually intensified before menstruation.
