Guys, The Reishi mushroom can be made into tea. I cannot say whether or not big shots come with it because I didn’t use it that long. The other ingredient in Peter North’s supplement is suppossedly Deer Antler. Asians swear by it but I have never taken it. I have seen it at Oriental Markets before though. I get 3 reishi caps for $17.00 and grind them on a cheese grater. The tea will relax you big time. If this is allowed, get your herbs here Mountain Rose Herbs. They have Reishi Mushroom powder, Maca, Fenugreek. Fenugreek, now there’s another good one. Fenugreek will make you smell like pancake syrup but shazamm!, it works. For the Reishi powder, I’d get a pound and put it in a big pot of water, lobster pot? with 3 or so gallons of water and simmer it covered for 4-6 hours. That’s what they say on brewing time for this to get all of the benefits from it. Strain it and keep the shroom for another use. You stop using it when the water no longer turns dark, I’d use maybe 1.5 gallons for the second time. The tea made me feel like I was floating, not trippy, just a subtle feeling. Yogis are said to use it before meditation. Also, Maca root works, period.
