Duanwood Reishi $36.00
#514

In 1976, I started my studies with Taoist Master Sung Jin Park. He introduced me to Reishi mushroom.
Back then, there was no such thing as a Chinese or Korean herb shop in America, so he took me to
visit his Korean friend who happened to have a stash of Korean Reishi. I got some in chunk form and
started brewing it for myself according to Master Park’s instructions. Eventually I started an herb

shop in my Venice California garage, which later evolved into a real herb shop on Abbot Kinney in
Venice in 1988. Right then, I was able to obtain the first extracted, powdered, encapsulated version of
log-cultivated Reishi available in America from Jen On Products. Simultaneously, a lot of information
on Reishi started becoming available. It turned out that Reishi was considered in Asia to truly be
the ultimate elixir, perhaps in the world. I was amazed at how important this herb is in Asian health
culture. It has been the virtual symbol of longevity, peace of mind, protection, immunological
resistance, wisdom and overall glowing health in the Far East for over 3,000 years!

As my herbal practice grew, I made up my mind to make
sure that every one of my clients took Reishi everyday.
Reishi mushroom has been and still is the bedrock of my
practice and the ultimate evolution into Dragon Herbs.

In Asia, Reishi is King— it is revered as the ultimate tonic
herb no matter where you go. All these years, I have been
to China more than 100 times and have stayed there

often for months on end. I have been to the White Cloud
Taoist Temple (the mother of all Taoist temples in China),
to the Shaolin Temple (the mother of all Zen Temples in
the world), and to hundreds of herb shops and markets
from Mongolia to the Philippines, from Tibet to Heaven
Mountain. The temples have innumerable paintings
and carvings of Reishi all over their grounds, indicating

the importance of Reishi in the attainment of higher
consciousness. They even serve Reishi soups and teas in
their dining halls and restaurants. The White Cloud Taoist
Temple is famous for its large centenarian population
and Reishi is its key herbal supplement.
