Chaga Mushroom
Chaga (Inonotusobliquus), a nontoxic, slow-growing mushroom, is commonly found on Birch trees in colder climates. While it may look like charred dirt or charcoal, the inside is rich in vitamins and minerals. Traditionally used by Eastern Europeans and Russians as a natural tonic for centuries, the chaga plant has many antiviral, antioxidant properties.
Mushrooms reduce inflammation so well that they could be used as a treatment alternative in some cases. They can stop cancer cells from growing by blocking cell signals that promote growth.
This mushroom may be a powerful antioxidant that can provide great benefits for skin. The high levels of melanin found in this mushroom may offer UV protection and be an abundant source for vitamin D. This can help regulate blood sugar, increase physical endurance, and decrease inflammation levels.
Making chaga is the easiest way to use this mushroom. After soaking the chunks for an hour in hot water, strain them out and use as a snack, or grind into powder to be used in beverages.
Chaga mushroom is available as tinctures and in teas from natural health shops or online. It can also be mixed with other mushrooms like cordyceps when making specialty tea blends.
Purchase of chaga from a reliable provider is of utmost importance, and should come complete with a certificate of authenticity that details how and when the product was harvested and grown; plus they should provide you with a money back guarantee! You should also know how much chaga you are taking. Although it may be beneficial to your health, you should not take too much at one time. The recommended daily dose for adults shouldn't exceed 20 ml.
Cordyceps Mushroom
Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe cordyceps' therapeutic uses range from increasing immunity to increasing energy. Many of these claims are backed up by scientific research, which shows that cordyceps can improve innate and adaptive immune systems as well as inhibit tumour growth (Cheung Li and Tsim, 2005).
Cordyceps is rich in polysaccharides, which stimulate certain white cells to engage phagocytosis and kill germs. They may also stimulate cytotoxic T cells - immune cells responsible for directly killing cancerous and abnormal cells directly - by inducing anaphylaxis and increasing hematopoiesis as well as increasing circulation, detoxifying kidneys and livers, improving urination, as well as improving bladder functions.
Cordyceps, when steeped for enough time, can extract its beneficial compounds. Traditionally, cordyceps tea was made by boiling the fruiting bodies with water. Today, however, some people roast and grind the cordyceps powder into a powder that they combine with hot tap water to make their brew.
Online and in health stores, cordyceps is also available as capsules. A typical daily dose should range between 3-4 grams.
Cordycepin, the main chemical constituent of cordyceps (3-deoxyadenosine), is a compound that has several pharmacological properties. Cordycepin can be consumed raw and added to soups or sauces for maximum benefit.
Since centuries, Tibetans have used cordyceps to adjust themselves to the high oxygen levels and altitudes in which they live. Studies have proven its benefits for the lungs, kidneys, blood sugar, and even respiratory conditions like tuberculosis and bronchitis. Cordyceps also increases certain enzymes that kill cancer cells, while simultaneously strengthening the immune system - decreasing IgE to minimize allergic reactions.
Reishi Mushroom
Reishi mushrooms have many beneficial health uses, from strengthening immunity to treating viral infections like flu and swine flu to aiding cancer treatments and tumor removals, improving sleep quality and overall wellness promotion. Reishi mushrooms can be used to treat lung conditions, such as asthma, bronchitis and bronchitis. They can also be used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol (high cholesterol), acid reflux/ulcers and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Reishi mushrooms contain more than 400 different nutrients. Many have been reported to have immunostimulatory benefits, such as the 1,3 1,6 -glucans (beta-glucans) and triterpenes (triterpenes), which balance gut microbiome to promote healthy inflammation responses. Reishi's adaptogens, which are found in its tissues, also have sleep-inducing qualities. They improve concentration during the day and facilitate deeper restful sleep.
Reishi mushrooms can enhance general well-being and strengthen immune systems, while also inhibiting tumour growth in laboratory animal. Research suggests that they may also help with conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, and depression.
To ensure you receive the right dose of reishi, it is important to choose a brand that has impeccable credentials and third party certification. You should also consult your doctor if you are currently taking any medications or have a condition. Some herbs and natural remedies may interact negatively that site with other drugs.
If you want to maximize the effectiveness of reishi, you should make tea with it. You can either make plain herbal tea or add it as an energy boost to coffee!
Reishi mushroom supplements can be purchased from specialty and health food stores as well as online grocers. Look for organic reishi supplements to ensure they are free of harmful chemicals and pesticides. Buy dual extracted and third party tested products to get a higher concentration of the beneficial properties.
