Reishi : Can I eat this while pregnant? Can my baby eat this?

Information

Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum) is a type of fungus which is traditionally used for its therapeutic benefits. It is considered a natural remedy for many conditions, including inflammation and anxiety. Although it has been used for centuries, there are not yet many studies on the use of Reishi during pregnancy. Overall, it is estimated that there is not enough conclusive research to prove the long -term safety of the use of Reishi during pregnancy. However, known side effects are generally minimal and may include stomach aches and nausea. In addition, we do not know if Reishi can go through breast milk and affect the baby. Therefore, for precautionary reasons, pregnant women are advised to consult their doctor before taking Reishi. Your doctor will be able to advise you on the best way to include it in your diet if it believes that it can be beneficial for your pregnancy. In addition, it is important to take pharmaceutical quality supplements, because REISHI can contain contaminants that can be harmful to health.
