Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), where it is revered as a tonic for overall vitality and longevity. In some TCM texts and folk practices, reishi is considered beneficial for supporting "kidney" health, which in TCM theory is often linked to reproductive function, sexual vitality, and the management of conditions such as nocturnal emission (involuntary ejaculation during sleep). The use of reishi for nocturnal emission is mainly based on traditional beliefs that it can strengthen "kidney essence" and help regulate sexual function and energy.

However, there is very little direct scientific evidence to support the use of reishi mushroom specifically for nocturnal emission. Modern research on reishi focuses mostly on its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and adaptogenic effects, rather than on sexual health or nocturnal emissions. Some animal studies suggest potential benefits for reproductive organs or hormone modulation, but these are preliminary and not directly related to the treatment of nocturnal emission in humans.

In summary, the use of reishi mushroom for nocturnal emission is justified primarily by traditional use rather than scientific validation. While it is considered safe for most people and may have general health benefits, robust clinical evidence for this specific indication is lacking.
