MUSHROOMS:
MEDICINE NOT MAGIC

Not to be featured in your carbonara or scattered on a pizza, these types of mushrooms can offer a host of health and wellbeing benefits.

Medicinal mushrooms have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to build immunity and invigorate the body. Much like you would tone your muscles and physical body in the gym, tonic herbs work to tone the organs and support healthy adaptations that benefit the body and its systems.

Each variant of medicinal mushroom offers different potential benefits, so whether it’s an immune boost, anti-ageing effects or improved heart health you’re after, chances are there’s a mushroom for you. Although their impacts on the body are somewhat magical, medicinal mushrooms are not to be confused with magic mushrooms.

Our range features nine mushrooms and mushroom blends which are sourced from traditional Chinese regions, and processed using holistic practices.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS

While each type offers its individual benefits, there are two universal benefits of medicinal mushrooms.

Medicinal mushrooms are renowned for their immune-boosting properties, as many feature powerful antioxidants to support the immune system in its fight to protect the body from illness and infection. Antioxidants work to fight free radicals and inflammation, combat oxidative stress and can have strong anti-ageing effects on the body. Many medicinal mushrooms can also work wonders for stress management, helping to alleviate anxiety and promote calmness. Chinese medicine considers Shen the spiritual essence of our being, and is nourished by various medicinal mushrooms. Calming effects come from adaptogens which can help the body adapt to and manage stress.
