Mushroom tea is an ideal way to start or end your day, or help relax you before sleep. Plus, its inclusion can help you reach your health and diet goals more effectively! With many mushroom tea blends to choose from, you’re sure to find one to meet your specific needs; alternatively you could get creative and create your own custom recipes using whatever mushrooms and spices inspire you!

Mushrooms are widely recognized as being adaptogens, meaning they help the body deal with stress and fatigue more easily. Furthermore, mushrooms’ antioxidant properties may reduce oxidative damage while supporting healthy immune function; some types may even help provide protection from cancer.

These fungi are frequently combined with herbs and spices to give tea its unique flavors, and add additional health benefits. Chaga, for instance, is widely used in traditional medicine and Russian herbalism to strengthen immunity while aiding detoxification of cells; Reishi has been employed by Chinese practitioners over 2000 years as an antidote against stress and fatigue; while lion’s mane has shown in animal studies to protect against oxidative stress while supporting brain health.

Another benefit of this type of tea is its potential to improve sleep quality. Fungi may help stimulate certain chemicals released by your brain which contribute to relaxation and sleepiness – making this option an excellent way to combat insomnia. This makes it a good option for anyone struggling to overcome it.

Keep this in mind when drinking this tea: it may cause gassiness. That’s because some mushrooms, including reishi and lion’s mane varieties, are FODMAP foods (Fermentable Oligosaccharides Disaccharides Monosaccharides Polyols), which may cause gas, bloating and abdominal discomfort in some people – though this won’t always happen due to personal factors such as diet, lifestyle choices, stress levels or medications being taken.

Additionally, it’s wise to consume mushroom tea moderately and keep to a healthy diet plan. Keep in mind that certain species of mushrooms can cause food poisoning – it is wise to be wary! Common symptoms of mushroom poisoning include numbness or tingling in the mouth and arms and legs, nausea, diarrhea and possibly death (if the mushroom in question is Amanita phalloides). Food poisoning may also impact pregnant women, possibly leading to miscarriage or premature birth in certain cases. Symptoms of food poisoning should never be ignored and immediate medical care should be sought if any exist. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, avoid eating contaminated meat and fish and consider homeopathy and herbal treatments as possible treatments to alleviate symptoms of food poisoning.
