Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wish I had read a bit more about the reishi mushroom before I purchased this. If it works for you, then go for it but perhaps do some research. I found out that taking the powdered form longer than a month has the *potential* to cause liver toxicity and even liver failure. I didn't get that far because i experienced one of the know, annoying side effects within a day. The itchiness! It started about 14 hours after my first cup and kept up for a day. I found out that the powdered reishi is known to cause itchiness. I might have stuck it out if it had resulted in better sleep but the fear of the liver toxicity that comes with taking the powdered form is just too great. It doesn't matter how organic something is - plutonium is organic - if it harms your organs, its not worth it.
