Medicinal Mushrooms
Medicinal mushrooms are lauded for their capacity to bring the human body back into a state of equilibrium – or ‘homeostasis’, and strengthen immune and hormonal functions. In the wild they are usually found growing on trees. Medicinal mushrooms burst with polysaccharides, triterpenes, antioxidants and other health-supporting compounds. Ancient herbal systems have long worked with medicinal, or ‘functional’, mushrooms and modern research is now uncovering the outstanding health benefits of these potent mushrooms.
