I love the healing properties of mushrooms. We carry one of my favorite formulas, the Five Mushroom Formula by Golden Flower Herbs. With five different mushrooms, this well-rounded formula is packed with pure health. The five mushrooms in this formula have immune enhancing properties and can offer many additional health benefits.
Ji Song Rong (Himematsutake Mushroom): Aids the digestive system, protects and strengthens the bones, regulates blood pressure and blood glucose levels.
Yun Zhi (Coriolus/ Turkey Tail): Treats infection and/ or inflammation of the upper respiratory, urinary, and digestive tracts, clears dampness, and reduces phlegm.
Ling Zhi (Reishi): Calms the spirit, nourishes qi (energy) and blood, stops cough, alleviates wheezing, dispels phlegm, helps to regulate blood glucose levels; antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hypertensive.
Hui Shu Hua (Maitake): Antiviral and antibacterial, supports the immune system specifically by preventing helper T-cells from being destroyed, promotes weight loss, regulates glucose levels, reduces hyperlipidemia, and aids in the treatment of hypertension.
Dong Chong Xia Cao (Cordyceps): Supports the kidneys, helps regulate overall energy, helps nourish the lungs, transforms phlegm, stops bleeding, and regulates blood glucose levels.
Overall, this formula can be used for a variety of conditions such as an adjuvant therapy for cancer, offers support during chemotherapy, helps decrease cholesterol levels, can help coughing, fatigue, hyper and hypoglycemia, hypertension, a weakened immune system, general weakness or after an illness, wheezing, as well as acute or chronic hepatitis just to name a few. This formula can also be beneficial for overall health and wellness.
