Medicinal mushrooms andfatigue

Fatigue attacks all of us and we often cannot stop it. It can be physical, but also mental, often a combination of both, e.g. spring fatigue combined with a lack of vitamins, sunlight, weakened immune system.

Each person has a different limit of fatigue, but apparently we will not find a person who would not like to improve his immunity against fatigue or accelerate his return from fatigue in full strength.

For this, medicinal mushrooms are ideal. Many of them are used in traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body and spirit. Classical medicine has also come to the same results later thanks to the research done.

Medicinal mushrooms such as Cordyceps, Reishi, Coriolus, Agaricus, Hericium, Maitake or Shiitake have the ability to keep a person active for longer, longer than the first signs of fatigue appear before a person becomes completely exhausted. Conversely, they enhance the return to full fitness. Medicinal mushrooms are also used in cases of fatigue in cancer and its treatment or in chronic fatigue syndrome.

How can medicinal mushrooms do this at all? Thanks to its unique composition, which contains a large number of bio-active substances such as glucans, sterols, terpenoids, enzymes, vitamins, etc., it improves blood circulation, blood circulation, energy metabolism, the use of nutrients, the formation of ATP compounds. It also leads to the deposition of substances formed during exercise, e.g. lactic acid, and thus to better muscle regeneration after exercise. Thanks to their antioxidant properties, they also neutralise free radicals, which are produced to a greater extent during exercise and which damage and weaken the body. Another important effect of these mushrooms is to tone and strengthen the immune system, whose health contributes to overall physical and mental well-being.

A bonus is then also the improvement of mental state, memory, ability to concentrate, improvement of mood, stabilization of mental state. They are also able to alleviate possible anxieties and fears. It can be said that these mushrooms clearly have antidepressant effects.

An unquestionable advantage is the availability of medicinal mushroom preparations and the absence of side effects during their use. According to the practitioner of Chinese medicine and the main mycotherapist of MycoMedica, the form of processing of medicinal mushrooms is important. For therapy, extracts/extracts of medicinal mushrooms with 25% polysaccharide content are the most important. I myself most often use in my clinic when solving fatigue the Cordyceps mushroom, which according to traditional Chinese medicine complements the kidneys and lungs, cleanses the liver and strengthens the circulatory system. Chinese emperors used this mushroom as an effective aphrodisiac.

Facing fatigue with medicinal mushrooms is possible and easy.
