Today, a friend asked: “Besides sleep pills, how to cure insomnia naturally”
I said: Reishi spore powder is a natural cure for insomnia ”
My friend was not sure about it: Are you sure reishi spore powder is effective, because we only know it fights cancers.
Yes, it has been proved by related experiments, please see the experiments below:

The first experiment was carried out by College of Pharmacy, Jilin University, College of Chinese Medicinal Materials of Jilin Agricultural University
Male mice were randomly divided into control group and reishi spore powder low, medium and high dose groups, 15 mice in each group.

The control group was orally administered with sodium carboxymethylcellulose (a placebo), and the low, medium and high dose groups of reishi spore powder were orally administered with different doses of reishi spore powder.

Experimental results showed: In reishi spore powder group, mice’s sleep time was significantly prolonged (see Figure 1 below), and their sleep incidence was also significantly increased (see Figure 2 below).
Figure 1：

Group Reishi Spore Powder Dosage(mg/kg) Pentobarbital Sodium Dosage(mg/kg) Sleep Time(min.)
Control Group ——- 45 28.9 ± 8.6
Low Dose Reishi Spore Powder Group 0.25 45 32.9 ± 9.5
Medium Dose Reishi Spore Powder Group 0.5 45 35.6 ± 8.7
High Dose Reishi Spore Powder Group 1.0 45 36.2  ± 9.8

Figure 2:

Group Reishi Spore Powder Dosage(mg/kg) Pentobarbital Sodium Dosage(mg/kg) Number of Sleeping Animals Sleep Incidence(%)
Control Group ——- 45 1 6.7
Low Dose Reishi Spore Powder Group 0.25 45 3 13.3
Medium Dose Reishi Spore Powder Group 0.5 45 7 46.7
High Dose Reishi Spore Powder Group 1.0 45 8 53.3

There are two main criteria to judge sleep quality: falling asleep and sleep time. If you can’t sleep all the time, it’s difficult to fall asleep; if you sleep short, you can’t sleep well.

Compared with mice in the control group who received only placebo, the sleep time of mice using reishi spore powder was significantly prolonged.

At the same time, the overall incidence of sleep was significantly increased, indicating that reishi spore powder can promote mice to fall asleep.

The second experiment was carried out by the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine
100 inpatients and outpatients with insomnia were divided into 50 cases in the control group and 50 cases in the treatment group (1 case failed due to lost follow-up).

The treatment group took reishi spore powder, and the control group took Guipi Pill (a proprietary Chinese medicine, which has the effects of strengthening the spleen and nourishing blood and soothe the nerves).

The experimental results showed the insomnia improvement rate of the treatment group taking reishi spore powder was 92%; the insomnia improvement rate of the control group taking Guipi pills was 77.55%, as shown in the figure below:

Group Number of Cases Clinical Recovery Number of Cases with Remarkable Effects Number of Cases with Effects Number of Cases with No Effects Total Effective Rate(%)
Treatment Group 50 16(32) 16(32) 14(28) 4(8) 92
Control Group 49 10(20 41) 13(26 53) 15(30 61) 11(22 45) 77.55

The difference in the results of the above human experiments is very obvious. The effectiveness of improving the insomnia of the treatment group patients who took reishi spore powder was significantly higher than that of the control group. It can be confirmed that reishi spore powder is a natural cure for insomnia.
