Reishi Mushroom

Reishi mushrooms, native to Asia, have long been used in traditional Eastern medicine as a way of improving both health and longevity. Packed with over 400 nutrients – including beta-glucan polysaccharides and triterpenes which stimulate immunity – Reishi mushrooms also possess many antioxidative properties that protect the body against oxidative stress while decreasing disease risks.

Reishi Mushroom Benefits for Dogs

Reishi mushrooms were traditionally used to enhance immune support in dogs with cancer. Reishi can help increase white blood cell count and block cancer cell growth while simultaneously improving organ and joint condition. Reishi also serves as an adaptogen, helping the body cope with stress and anxiety; furthermore it has even been known to decrease symptoms associated with fibromyalgia by decreasing inflammation and improving sleep quality.

Reishi may help reduce autoimmune disorders like thyroiditis and Crohn’s disease. Studies have also shown anti-tumor effects in laboratory tests; more research needs to be conducted in humans before any definitive conclusions can be reached about its benefits. Reishi mushrooms contain beta-glucans which have the ability to slow or stop tumor growth while stimulating natural killer cells that target abnormal or potentially cancerous cells.

Reishi can also stimulate production of interferon-gamma, an interleukin that attacks cancer cells and infectious organisms, while helping prevent cancer metastasis – which occurs when cancer spreads from organ to organ. According to research published in Oncology Reports journal, Reishi may help decrease tumor formation while shrinking their size as well as improving survival for patients diagnosed with cancer.

Reishi mushrooms can also be used to treat viral infections, such as herpes simplex virus (HSV) and human papillomavirus (HPV). Initial research shows that reishi can speed the healing of cold sores while possibly decreasing HPV in the mouth and high blood pressure. It comes available as either powder or extract and should be taken daily either directly with food or drinks or taken in liquid capsule form depending on age, preexisting conditions or medications being taken by its user. Dosages will vary according to age, preexisting conditions or medications taken or depending on their use by its users – see chart above for dosages by age, preexisting conditions and medications taken.

Maitake Mushroom

Maitake Mushrooms, more commonly referred to as Hen-of-the-Woods or Grifola frondosa, are an easy and healthy snack choice that may offer natural cholesterol control and immune system support. Native to Japan, Europe and North America and popular in Asian and Chinese cuisine. Used medicinally since ancient Chinese and Japanese traditions alike. More recently it has come under scrutiny of modern scientific research; scientists are beginning to unearth all its health benefits.

Maitake mushrooms are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and beta-glucans that have been scientifically shown to combat oxidative stress while maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, supporting immunity, lowering blood pressure, increasing insulin sensitivity and helping those living with diabetes manage their condition. In addition to helping lower LDL-cholesterol (a component of cholesterol) maitake may help to manage blood triglycerides levels as well.

Its robust structure holds up well when cooking and its earthy-nutty flavor makes this mushroom ideal for use as mushroom tea.

One animal study demonstrated how maitake could stimulate cancer cell apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth, as well as reduce fat accumulation in mice fed a high-fat diet. Furthermore, human clinical trials concluded that maitake extracts can help combat your body’s natural tendency to store excess lipids by encouraging their breakdown into energy.

Maitake mushroom also offers anti-inflammatory benefits that may help defend against heart disease, perhaps by helping regulate cholesterol levels and decreasing oxidative stress in the cardiovascular system. One such mechanism might include its ability to lower high blood pressure or even prevent heart attacks by lowering oxidative stress levels in cardiovascular system.

Maitake supplements come in the form of tinctures or capsules and should be taken at an initial daily dosage of 1-1.5 grams, up to two years. As with any supplement, always read and consult a healthcare professional prior to using. This is particularly important during pregnancy or breastfeeding and for individuals taking medications or herbal remedies.

Shiitake Mushroom

Shiitake mushrooms are a staple in East Asian cuisine, adding an earthy umami flavor to soups and stews. Plus they pack an impressive nutritional punch: low in calories and fat but high in essential B vitamins, iron copper selenium nutrients – not to mention potential immune system support and heart health benefits!

As with other varieties, shiitake mushrooms can be enjoyed fresh or dried. When dried, their water content decreases significantly, increasing concentration and making them easier to digest. When taken as tea, its polysaccharides like Lentinan can stimulate white blood cell production to strengthen your body’s natural defence mechanisms against diseases; furthermore it may even help reduce cholesterol levels for improved cardiovascular health.

Mushrooms, in general, are known for their adaptogenic properties – helping your body better cope with stress and promote balance – with some varieties (shiitake and cordyceps in particular) known for providing cognitive enhancement by reducing fatigue and increasing focus and attention. Furthermore, turkey tail and lions mane varieties have shown to contain anti-inflammatory compounds which may lower your risk for chronic conditions related to inflammation.

Home mushroom tea making can be accomplished quickly and easily using just rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and hot water, using spring or filtered water for optimal flavour retention and nutritional retention. You may also choose to add spices like turmeric or liquid aminos for additional antioxidant support and an enhanced mushroom experience.

Before trying any new herbal tea or supplement, it’s wise to consult your physician. Shiitake and cordyceps, for instance, may interfere with certain medications or cause reactions in some individuals; pregnant and breastfeeding mothers must seek advice prior to trying mushroom supplements; those allergic to mushrooms (or any food), however, must avoid them – this is particularly relevant if suffering from autoimmun diseases like MS, Lupus, or Rheumatoid Arthritis are advised against them as these ingredients could exacerbate their condition further.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom

Lion’s Mane mushrooms contain compounds with neuroprotective and anti-aging properties that have long been recognized. Lion’s Mane mushroom extract can stimulate production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which prevents neurons from degenerating while encouraging the formation of new cells; making this treatment suitable for neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Lion’s Mane compounds also promote axon growth, providing additional protection to the nervous system from injury. Studies have demonstrated this benefit with degeneration of nerves caused by traumatic brain injuries being prevented as a result. Furthermore, Lion’s Mane promotes healthy immunity function as well as having anticancer properties; research suggests it may inhibit cancer cell proliferation while simultaneously stimulating cell death via apoptosis (cell death by stimulating apoptosis).

Lion’s mane has been found to have significant benefits on mental health by encouraging nerve growth and increasing serotonin levels, which helps regulate mood and promote relaxation. Studies have confirmed this treatment’s efficacy against depression and anxiety as well as augmenting medications used to treat those conditions.

Studies on Lion’s Mane are limited, yet evidence indicates it can increase cognitive function, slow the progression of neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as reverse some symptoms associated with early Alzheimer’s.

Lion’s Mane has also been found to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may help prevent oxidative damage while simultaneously strengthening immunity and strengthening gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea or constipation. Additionally, it can even help treat stomach disorders like ulcers.

Lion’s Mane tea can provide natural solutions for digestion, immunity and mental clarity – as well as cognitive, neurological and immune benefits that could enhance life overall. To create your own organic mushroom tea at home, simply steep one teaspoon of dried lion’s mane into hot water for 15-30 minutes until fully immersed, add honey as desired for flavoring, and you are done!
