Mushroom Matters

Mushrooms have been used in traditional Asian herbal medicine for centuries, the knowledge and reverence of their magical and medicinal value seems to date back to Palaeolithic times.

In modern days, a lot of the research that has been done to determine certain mushroom’s actions and health benefits has focused on their ability to modulate immune activity. It seems that these spore-bearing fungi help reduce and control abnormal cell growth in the human body. They also reduce the ability of these unwanted cells to spread. These unique attributes makes mushrooms a primary choice by natural health practitioners as an adjunct to chemotherapy and radiotherapy as part of a monitored anti-cancer program.
