Mushrooms such as oyster mushrooms contain high amounts of dietary fiber, vitamin D and protein – three essential nutrients for maintaining optimal immune system health and strong bones.

Mushroom teas like ours contain heart-healthy ingredients such as lion mane, reishi, hibiscus and rose petals for optimal heart health benefits. Lemon and stevia add additional flavors and sweetness.

Immune System Booster

Pleurotus ostreatus, the type of oyster mushroom used in our teas, has been scientifically demonstrated to offer antioxidant and immune-enhancing properties as well as compounds which may help reduce heart disease risk factors like cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Oyster mushrooms’ natural cholesterol-reducing ability can be attributed to their rich source of beta glucan dietary fiber. Macrophages, versatile immune cells that ingest and destroy invading pathogens before releasing chemicals that stimulate white blood cells to attack, are increased due to this consumption. They’re also packed with antioxidative nutrients such as zinc and copper that provide protection from free radical damage.

Mushrooms provide numerous anti-inflammatory compounds, including sterols and polyphenols (including gallic acid, chlorogenic acid and naringenin), ergothioneine and low molecular-weight nucleosides like cordycepin. Studies have demonstrated these substances’ ability to inhibit tumor growth while protecting against oxidative damage.

Numerous species of mushrooms have been studied for their potential to degrade environmental toxins, particularly hydrocarbon-based contaminants. Agaricus blazei, Lentinus tigrinus, Ganoderma lucidum and Grifola frondosa are the four most frequently employed varieties for this task.

Fungi are also excellent sources of iron, providing 12 percent of your recommended daily allowance in one cup of tea. With their long history as medicinal and edible fungi in Chinese medicine, fungi are frequently prescribed to ease muscle, joint, tendon tension and kidney function issues as well as their unique ability to break down cell walls for easy digestion and absorption of nutrients – especially beneficial for people who struggle with digestive and absorption issues. Fungi are often known as nature’s multivitamins because they contain multiple vitamins, minerals and amino acids – including B vitamins!

Natural Cholesterol Reducer

Oyster mushrooms contain an exceptional combination of powerful nutrients and antioxidants, such as beta-glucan polysaccharides, antioxidant amino acids such as ergothioneine, lupulin and B vitamins.

Studies indicate that these nutrients contribute to maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system and may reduce heart disease risk factors such as high cholesterol and blood pressure levels. A test-tube study found that ergothioneine prevents oxidation of cholesterol, helping lower “bad” levels in blood. Furthermore, research in rats demonstrated how dietary psilocybin reduced both blood triglycerides and cholesterol levels as well as improved vessel function.

Oyster mushroom tea is an excellent way to boost immune health while providing essential bone health nutrients, including niacin, zinc and copper which all play key roles in keeping bones strong and healthy. Furthermore, oyster mushrooms contain both calcium and magnesium – all necessary components of bone health.

Scientists are particularly enthusiastic about the antiviral properties of oyster mushrooms. Although further study is necessary, early tests conducted in laboratories indicate that certain compounds found within them can kill herpes viruses as well as infections like influenza.

Mushrooms have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM relies on mushrooms to support kidneys and livers, strengthen veins and promote circulation. Multiple clinical studies have linked mushroom consumption with improved immunity function, healthier cardiovascular system function and decreased cholesterol levels. A cup of mushroom tea first thing in the morning can boost immunity while helping regulate blood sugar and setting an uplifting tone for the day ahead; then at night time sipping one with earthy properties can ease stress while aid relaxation.

Strengthens Bones

Oyster mushrooms contain beta-glucans that provide your immune system with a boost that helps it fight both short- and long-term illnesses, without overstimulating or suppressing it in an excessive manner. Furthermore, these mushrooms contain antioxidants to combat free radical damage caused by free radicals as well as oxidative stress related to aging processes.

Traditional Chinese medicine considers this fungus to be an adaptogen, helping individuals cope with chronic stress by lowering cortisol levels. Furthermore, its high content of B vitamins and minerals help maintain healthy cholesterol levels as well as providing other health benefits.

Mushrooms are a wonderful source of iron, providing up to 13% of your daily requirement in just 1 cup of sliced shiitake mushrooms. Furthermore, mushrooms contain many other B-complex vitamins including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic acid for an abundance of essential B-complex vitamins.

Oyster mushrooms contain magnesium and vitamin D, both essential components for bone health. Their rich source of magnesium promotes calcium processing and storage within bones while their unique amino acid, ergothioneine, has shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties in test tubes as well as in human studies.

Under Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), mushrooms are believed to dispel cold wind, relax tendons and bones, strengthen yang, as well as treat impotence, backache and muscle weakness.

Tea waste is an abundant resource that contains energy substrate and nutrients that are easily reused by Pleurotus ostreatus, according to a recent study. When testing different ratios of tea waste ratios against each other in terms of growth and yield performance, 40-60% tea waste proved optimal as an environmental solution compared with its current level of pollutant waste leaves polluting our environment.

Lowers Blood Pressure

Mushrooms have long been revered for their medicinal properties, from relieving diabetes and heart disease symptoms to helping regulate cholesterol levels and managing high blood pressure. This may be attributed to compounds in mushrooms called beta-glucans which help improve glucose and fat metabolism and regulating cholesterol levels as well as having low sodium contents – perfect for those suffering from high blood pressure!

Studies indicate that eating oyster mushrooms may help diabetics manage their blood sugar and prevent damage caused by high insulin levels (13). One particular research trial gave three grams of P. ostreatus powder per day for three months to a group of individuals with type 2 diabetes; it resulted in significantly reduced blood sugar levels as well as improved hemoglobin A1c scores.

A 2007 study on rats demonstrated the benefits of oyster mushroom extract in terms of reduced insulin resistance and liver damage caused by toxic chemicals (14). Another benefit is its rich source of amino acid ergothioneine; this acid reduces inflammation caused by LDL cholesterol oxidation in both arteries and livers.

Oyster mushrooms have long been recognized for their health-boosting benefits, making them a sought-after solution for various health concerns. A great addition to any meat-free diet, oyster mushrooms make an excellent tea either on their own or mixed with other herbs – for a soothing cup that supports digestion, lower inflammation, boost immunity and cardio functioning, try this combination: Roasted and Pulverized Shiitake with Dandelion Root Powder Oyster Mushroom Powder Fennel Seed Mint Ginger (15).

Lowers Inflammation

Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) belong to the fungi family and are well-known for their distinctive cool blue to gray hue and meaty texture, along with their distinct meaty taste and health benefits. As such, oyster mushrooms have long been a beloved addition in many culinary traditions worldwide, while recently also becoming highly valued medicinal ingredients.

Mushrooms in general are low in calories and fat with no cholesterol content, yet high in dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential niacin for good health. Mushrooms provide your body with vital nutrition such as D which may otherwise be hard to come by in other foods and antioxidants that provide protection.

Mushrooms can serve as an anti-inflammatory food source. Their phenolic compounds may reduce inflammation while protecting against oxidative stress by blocking free radicals; plus they increase immune function to combat off infections more efficiently.

Ergothioneine found in oyster mushrooms is another powerful antioxidant believed to aid in preventing heart disease by protecting cells from damage and reducing plaque buildup. Furthermore, oyster mushroom may provide neurodegenerative disease prevention such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Mushrooms are widely recognized for their ability to digest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), toxic waste products generated from oil refineries and other industrial activities. One experiment saw soil contaminated with PAH’s inoculated with oyster mushroom mycelium that quickly began dissolving harmful compounds within weeks – thanks to enzyme-producing mycelium cells that break down toxic compounds while also rejuvenating earth’s natural system – making mushrooms an excellent alternative to synthetic fertilizers and herbicides.
