About this course

Reishi has been revered for centuries in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine and for good reason. The clinical uses for Reishi are surprisingly wide and very well supported by research. The list of conditions that Reishi use is supported for is very long and includes many of the common presentations that you see each day.

Dr Chris Hobbs is a internationally renowned, fourth-generation herbalist, clinician, botanist, mycologist, and research scientist with over 35 years of experience with herbal medicine. Chris has been using Reishi extensively in his clinic for many years and takes it daily himself.

This is a medicine that seems to be underutilised by natural clinicians and could be applied much more and in many more situations than it is currently being used for. In this discussion, Chris shares many of his clinical gems and special use cases for this fascinating mushroom.
