In this article, not only will you discover 2 of the world’s greatest immune strengthening herbs, you’ll find what they contain: an immensely important category of nutrients that governments don’t mention in their Recommended Dietary Allowance, but are very important for our health.
We often think of our body as this unit which needs certain minimums of macronutrients and micronutrients.
But, it is a whole unit made up of interconnected parts: each part thrives on an array of notable nutrients.
It’s strange: Many of these body parts and systems are just not talked about with regard to our daily diet. Each system of your body has spent a lifetime malnourished (sorry but it’s true – continue reading and we can change this quickly!) due to the modern standardized agricultural diet which lacks variety, trace minerals, medicinal substances, and is loaded with toxins.
Let’s get right up close to the most important system in your body today: your IMMUNE SYSTEM.
Some might say it’s tied in 1st place with your endocrine (hormones) system.
This complex army needs to be fed daily to fulfill its lifelong double-sided challenge:
1. How to neutralize pathogens: because to not means the body is in a Hypo-Immunological state, susceptible to colds, flues, candida overgrowth and more severe disease-causing pathogens.
AND
2. How to efficiently rid the body of (while remaining “cool”) toxins and allergens: because to not means the body is in a HYPER-immune state, causing inflammation and autoimmune takeover.
Every moment your body has a new micro-terrain of pathogens, allergens, and toxins to deal with, so your immune system must be able to fulfill both ends of the spectrum (Do: attack foreign invaders; Do not attack human self) without going out of balance (hypo and hyper).
Great, we’ll just take some immune-stimulating drugs and some immune-suppressants, and we’ll be balanced, right? NO! Thankfully, nature found a way: We must consume natural substances which have a DOUBLE-DIRECTIONAL effect on the immune system. Did you feed your immune system today?
Chaga mushroom growing on a birch tree ready to harvest
ENTER: Medicinal mushrooms and adaptogenic herbs – most notable the top dogs of the fungi kingdom Reishi mushroom and Chaga mushroom. Hundreds upon hundreds of scientific studies, thousands of years and millions of people’s multi-generational use has placed these 2 mushrooms as the most successful mycological immune system enhancements of humanity.
Should everyone be consuming Reishi and Chaga everyday for a robust immune system, long life, mental calm and clarity, and peak physical performance? Read on to decide for yourself.
There is a category of nutrients that is NOT represented in a government’s Recommended Dietary Allowance: the polysaccharides.
Polysaccharides (like multi-carbohydrate) aren’t just fiber – many of these “essential healing sugars,” like beta-glucans, have complex structures that fit into the receptor sites of your immune system and train the immune system (including your gut flora) to do a better job. Countless studies have demonstrated that polysaccharides and herb extracts and superfood extracts high in polysaccharides promote a revitalizing amount of immune system support to humans and animals, help fight off mutagens and disease, and promote a healthy homeostasis within the body.
What really makes these herbs over the top is that they are truly tonics: you can take them daily with no negative side effects. They work immediately and cumulatively over a lifetime.
Some say that reishi is the Queen of mushrooms and Chaga is King.
Both are considered the mushrooms of immortality within the legend and lore of Chinese Medicine, specifically Taoist Tonic Herbalism, as well as in Siberian traditions.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), after inoculating a tree or medium of dead plant matter with its spores and then mycelial growth, produces a beautiful shiny red fruiting body. The fruiting body (literally the fungi’s reproductive organ) and the spores it secretes are LOADED with polysaccharides and rare myco-chemicals that feed the immune system.
The subjective effect of reishi is particularly calming while deeply energizing. That isn’t an oxymoronic statement. The best foods and herbs in the world should make you feel that way: deeply energized (without feeling stimulated), mentally nourished and relaxed; chill, focused, beautified.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) prefers to inoculate living trees, usually birch, in a mostly symbiotic (arguably not parasitic or decomposing) relationship. Chaga is rich in polysaccharides and has countless Russian scientific studies to back its effects. Chaga is darkly pigmented with an ORAC (antioxidant scale) off the charts. It is perhaps the highest antioxidant herb ever that is safe to consume daily.
Both mushrooms are polypores, a variety of mushrooms which have tiny holes (or poly-pores) on their underside (instead of gills) which secrete spores. Within the herb-loving and myco-phile world, polypores are considered very strangely evolved and benevolent mushrooms (compared to mildews and yeasts).
ALL MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS FIGHT CANDIDA!
They don’t feed Candida overgrowth – unlike the fallacies you may have heard.
In order for a mushroom to survive in the wild and claim a tree for itself, it must have anti-fungal properties to compete with the other fungi. A pure extract of Reishi and Chaga has nothing in it to feed candida overgrowth or other fungal infections – it can only fend off such overgrowths in the body.
It’s ideal for just about everyone to consume Reishi and Chaga every day for a robust immune system, long life, mental calm and clarity, and peak physical performance.
Speaking of such benefits, I’d like to share with you my top 2 sources for these top 2 immune strengthening medicinal mushrooms.
