What is Mycotherapy?
Mycotherapy refers to the use of medicinal mushrooms, which contain highly active biomolecules, to improve people’s health and well-being. These mushrooms provide an integrative approach to enhancing treatment and boosting overall health through natural compounds.
Popular medicinal mushrooms such as Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail are key components of Mycotherapy, offering a variety of health benefits backed by scientific research.
The Power of Medicinal Mushrooms
Medicinal mushrooms are known for their bioactive compounds such as beta-glucans, terpenes, sterols, and amino acids, which have multiple health benefits. These mushrooms are immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and support gut health.
Key Benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms
- Proven immunomodulatory effects
- Regulation of intestinal microbiota through prebiotic polysaccharides
- Adaptogenic properties that help the body respond to stress
