Medicinal Mushrooms for a Healthy Life

Ancient healing knowledge rediscovered

In traditional Asian medicine, medicinal mushrooms have played an important role for thousands of years. For example, shiitake, reishi, and wood ear mushrooms are not only used for strengthening the immune system, but also in case of liver and kidney disease, indigestion, vascular and joint diseases, and poisoning. They even have a healing effect in cancer. In western countries, »mycotherapy« – the application of medicinal mushrooms for treatment purposes – is experiencing a spectacular upswing, particularly in alternative medicine. And rightly so, for scientific studies do
indeed show their healing powers. With recipes for healthy, delicious mushroom cuisine.
