Chaga

Chaga mushrooms, when consumed as tea, have long been used to strengthen immunity and fight cancer. Their natural medicinal benefits make chaga an invaluable addition to any wellness routine; but before adding this supplement to your diet it is recommended that you consult a healthcare provider first.

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), is an edible giant fungus that grows on birch trees in cold regions. This two-tone organism has a coal black exterior called “sclerotia,” and cork-like brown interior that are both revered by northern cultures for their healing properties and harvested during winter at their highest potency. Chaga contains polyphenols and flavanoids – both known for fighting oxidative stress while protecting cells from damage – as well as being known for anti-inflammatory effects thanks to betulinic acid compounds within its cells.

Although each variety of chaga is slightly different, all offer similar nutritional benefits. Chaga contains calcium, potassium, iron, copper and zinc in abundance as well as phytochemicals that boost immune systems while fighting free radicals; additionally it’s an excellent source of complex carbohydrates to give energy back into the body.

Chaga can best be experienced as a tea. There are various methods for creating it, but the easiest is steeping in hot water for about ten minutes and adding honey for flavoring. Chaga comes in multiple forms such as ground powder, dried chunks and extracts – most people prefer dried chunks as they’re easier to handle while providing stronger flavors; powder has more woody tones with less depth of taste; for best results use a coffee filter or French press when brewing powder as otherwise it may leave your mouth with bitter aftertaste!

Reishi

Ganoderma lucidum, commonly referred to as the superfungus, is well-known for its healing benefits. According to studies, its components may help boost overall immune function, boost energy levels, extend longevity, balance hormone levels and decrease anxiety/depression while treating insomnia, protecting the heart, fighting viral infections and helping balance hormone levels. It may even balance hormone levels while simultaneously helping balance hormones levels, lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety/depression symptoms and even ease respiratory issues while protecting against viral infections.

Reishi has long been used as an herbal medicine and its low toxicities have made it popular with healthy adults. Available as both supplements and herbal tea, studies suggest reishi may increase production of “good” cholesterol (HDL) but more research must be conducted before this can be confirmed. Other research shows reishi could regulate fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels, although more evidence must be produced.

Reishi is often recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties; one study indicates it could help treat cardiovascular disorders by inhibiting inflammatory compounds in liver and blood. Another study suggested it may also help reduce fatigue; however, its results were mixed and further research needs to be completed before concluding that it can serve as an effective therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome.

Although reishi has proven its effectiveness in laboratory experiments, further studies are necessary to ascertain its effects in people living with cancer. Animal studies showed that it stimulated white blood cells that can attack tumors and slow or stop their growth while also increasing chemotherapy and radiation treatments against cancer cells.

Reishi can interact with medications meant to prevent or treat bleeding, such as warfarin. Reishi could cause your blood sugar to drop suddenly which could be dangerous in those living with diabetes and it should also be avoided during pregnancy, labor and surgery as a boost for immune functioning can worsen symptoms associated with certain autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease in those using immunosuppressant drugs.

Lion’s Mane

Lion’s Mane mushroom may be relatively new to modern diets, but its use as a traditional Chinese medicinal remedy goes back millennia. This snow-white beauty is known for enhancing cognition, supporting nerve health, reducing inflammation and providing vegans and vegetarians with extra protein sources.

Hericium erinaceus, commonly referred to as the Lion’s Mane or Deer Head Fungus is an attractive white mushroom with long, shaggy tendrils resembling the mane of a lion. This species can be found growing alongside trees such as Ash, Beech and Maple in forests throughout Europe and Asia; in England it’s protected under Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 so it’s vital that wild populations are left undisturbed so it may flourish naturally.

Lion’s mane mushrooms can be enjoyed fresh or dried and are sold as food and supplements. Cooking deactivates its chitin cell wall content which may cause gastric upset or an allergic reaction if consumed raw; cooking deactivates this component as well. After cooking has occurred it’s wise to wash these mushrooms under running water to rid any dirt or debris before eating them.

Studies have linked lion’s mane with increased cognitive function, protection against neurodegeneration and Alzheimer’s disease, inflammation reduction and reduced blood sugar levels, stimulation of new neurons growth and production of proteins that protect neurons.

Although these promising findings exist in humans, research has been limited. Small clinical trials indicate that lion’s mane may help improve cognitive function for those with mild to moderate dementia; however, its long-term effectiveness remains uncertain and larger clinical trials must be performed to test this claim further.

Lion’s mane is generally safe for consumption and may help balance immune function; however, certain medications or conditions could interact negatively with its use; people allergic to mushrooms should avoid taking it and it’s not advised for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Cordyceps

There are more than 350 different species within the Cordyceps genus of parasitic fungi that attack and eat the larvae of insects. These fungi are known for their medicinal properties as well as their ability to produce many useful natural compounds such as cordycepin, polysaccharides, ergosterol and mannitol. These bioactive compounds are responsible for many of the pharmacological properties of Cordyceps and its beneficial effects on human health.

This genus is abundant in humid temperate and tropical forests, with its greatest concentration in China. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries as a potent tonic and was first recorded in Ben Cao Bei Yao by Wang Ang in 1694. Cordyceps was popularized in the 1990s after several long distance runners who took it while training broke world records. The fungus increases oxygen uptake and blood flow, which allows athletes to train longer and harder without becoming tired or exhausted. It also has immune-enhancing properties that strengthen the body’s natural defences.

The most studied and commonly used member of the Cordyceps genus is C. sinensis, also known as Dong Chong Xia Cao, which is found in the mountainous region of Tibet and China. It is a popular folk tonic and has numerous medicinal benefits including hypoglycemic, antitumor, antitumor, hepatoprotective, liver protective, cardioprotective, endocrine regulation, and lipid lowering actions.

It is also a powerful antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress, promotes myelination and remyelination, stimulates neurite outgrowth, enhances cognitive function, improves motor function, inhibits apoptosis, attenuates neurodegeneration, and protects against memory-related neurodegenerative diseases. Cordycepin is able to protect neurons by reducing oxidative stress, activating a1AR, inhibiting the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, and by blocking the activity of MAO.

While more research is needed, studies so far have shown that Cordyceps can improve mental and physical performance. It also has the potential to treat cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disorders, and chronic fatigue syndrome. In addition, it can boost the immune system and help maintain healthy blood pressure, blood glucose levels, cholesterol levels and triglycerides. It can even help reduce symptoms of respiratory tract infections, such as cough and colds.
