Fungi and mushrooms have ancient origins, and there is evidence that they probably first appeared a billion years ago, although the fossil record of fungi is scarce. Besides their beautiful shapes and different colors, they also have different properties that can be used for medicinal purposes. The use of the mushrooms for medicinal purposes started in traditional Chinese medicine.
Scientific research into medicinal mushrooms
Scientific research into the use of medicinal mushrooms has only been under discussion for sixty years. Not only Eastern medicine is concerned with mushrooms, but also in Western medicine research into medicinal mushrooms has been in force for several years. The reason that mushrooms are used for medicinal purposes is because of their possession of useful substances that can be good for the functioning of our body in various ways.
Active substances in mushrooms
The fungus kingdom consists of hundreds of thousands of different types of mushrooms. Each mushroom is unique in its own way due to the profile of nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Although every mushroom is unique, mushrooms also have a common factor: they all contain the same types of active substances. The amount of these active substances differs per species, which creates a unique profile.
Types of medicinal mushrooms
Over the years, much research has been done on the different types of mushrooms. Among these different strains, there are a number of shiners that are used for medicinal purposes. An example of this is the chaga mushroom. This mushroom is known as the 'diamond of the forest'. This is due to its orange clear interior and the important fabrics. Another well-known mushroom is the Lion's Mane. The name already suggests it: the mushroom is known for its creamy white spines that resemble a lion's mane. Not only is this medicinal mushroom known for its beauty, but also for its restorative and supportive effect for the mind. Besides Chaga and Lion's Mane you also have the Cordyceps mushroom. The Cordyceps is a special mushroom, as it grows from the body of insects in the wild. This mushroom is very rare and is therefore also cultivated today. It is known for stimulating circulation and providing an energetic feeling.
Organic certified products
Mushrooms are called nature's cleaners. The reason for this is that they absorb everything from their environment. Not only the good substances, but also the bad substances such as pesticides, toxins and other poisons. If you opt for certified organic mushrooms, you will not be bothered by the bad substances. The mushroom products available at HEMP i SHOP are therefore all certified organic, which means that you can use the products safely.
Intake of medicinal mushrooms
Over the years, the way of taking medicinal mushrooms has changed. Where we used to take the mushrooms with hot water, we now have the option to take them through mushroom capsules, mushroom powders or in the form of mushroom coffee and latte. The effect of the mushrooms differs per person. Some users are very enthusiastic about the effects, while others see it differently. We therefore recommend that you read user experiences on various websites or inquire in your area. In this way you will learn more about the effect of medicinal mushrooms and the possible added value for yourself.
Dosage of mushrooms
When taking the mushroom products, it is wise to pay attention to the dosage. The quantity may differ per person and product. Especially in the beginning it is wise to start with one capsule per dosing moment and after longer use this can be adjusted to the needs of a particular person. To avoid overdose, it is wise to stick to the dosage on the package. On the packaging you can also read possible side effects and risks, which can be important for people with certain allergies or diseases.
