Why Being Half Mushroom Is Awesome...!

Medicinal mushroom and herb extracts dispensed in a traditonal Chinese apothecary.

As humans we share almost half of our DNA with mushrooms. We are prone to the effects of many of the same diseases and because of our shared DNA, our bodies can absorb and adopt their survival and immune boosting properties readily.

Of the six main types of medicinal mushrooms including; Cordyceps Militaris, Lion's Mane, Turkey Tail, Reishi, Shiitake and Chaga, aside from commonalities, all possess very different properties.

Each mushroom type is known for their benefits and ability to treat particular conditions, and the blending of mushroom extracts has a long history dating back centuries.

When a blend of two or three mushroom extracts come together, the compound has become more tailored and refined for a specific need.

Fatigue is a sure sign that our system is under stress and it can sneak up on us in many ways; illness and a compromised immune system, weird sleep patterns, sensitivity to cold, low sex drive, poor circulation and or poor concentration.

Understanding the root of the problem helps greatly in being able to identify which mushroom extract or extracts will benefit you in the best possible way.

However, if the cause is coming from multiple stresses and isn't easy to identify, treating the immediate effects can go a long way in improving your well being for eg: if you're feeling sluggish and not being able to concentrate for long periods, a blend of Cordyceps Militaris and Lion's Mane Mushrooms is a great start.

If you're highly sensitive to allergens and or think you may be immune compromised, a combination of Turkey Tail and Shiitake may be the solution.

If the effects continue and you feel no improvement, seeking the consult of a health professional is always the best advice.

However, a commonality with all the medicinal mushroom types is their ability to boost our immune system. Regardless of which mushroom extract or extracts you're using, you can be assured your body is benefiting in a number of ways.
