The new trend: MEDICINAL FUNGI

You may have already heard that medicinal mushrooms are the new trend in health. And it is no coincidence. These delicious mushrooms provide many positive things to our body.

CHAGA MUSHROOM

Known as the “king of mushrooms,” chaga gives an incredible boost to your immune system. Full of antioxidants, it is a very good source of melanin. Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and the first barrier against pathogens. As such, taking chaga regularly serves as protection for our internal and external well-being. It is traditionally brewed into a tea that can be used as a coffee substitute.

LION’S MANE

The lion’s mane is a companion made in heaven for your morning coffee. These medicinal mushrooms are considered “nootropics,” also known as “smart drugs” that are taken to improve alertness, focus, and overall cognitive ability.

CORDYCEPS

Discovered by ancient cultures and loved by athletes, cordyceps is known to provide energy without additional stimulation. This mushroom helps increase oxygen intake by up to 20%, naturally increasing mental and physical energy. Cordyceps helps us breathe more, making it perfect for a pre-workout boost or a general jolt of energy throughout the day without the extra risks.

REISHI

If Chaga is the king, Reishi is the queen. With a unique ability to combat stress without causing sedation, this almost maternal medicinal mushroom is powerfully nutritious and perfect for daily use. You can have Reshi with a cup of hot chocolate before going to bed. It helps us relax and melt into a deeper delta state so we can get the same amount of sleep we normally get, but with an improved quality that allows us to wake up feeling much better. Mushrooms remain one of nature’s most incredible wonders. They are worth exploring. Don’t go collecting mushrooms alone, that is something that can be dangerous if you don’t know how to identify them correctly.
