Unlike conventional medicine, which concentrates on fighting the illness, therapy with medicinal mushrooms concentrates on maintaining physiological homeostasis – that means restoring our bodies' balance (for example, the balance of minerals, enzymes, hormones, water, electrolytes or immune cells) and natural resistance to disease.

Medicinal mushrooms have a regulative effect, which means that medicinal mushrooms can help someone suffering from asthma by easing the (chronic) inflammation of the bronchial tubes and thereby reduce acute asthma attacks. In many cases asthma has in some way psychological causes, therefore, medicinal mushrooms can be perfectly used in the treatment of asthma as they have a relaxing effect on the organism without causing any side-effects – such as tiredness.

Medicinal mushrooms really have a phenomenal healing potential. They are able to stimulate immune function; ward off viruses, bacteria, and fungi; reduce inflammation; help balance blood sugar levels.

Experiences:
In order to ease chronic asthma, Ms S. takes 2 capsules of Reishi  extract a day. After only 2 days she noticed a change. She was considerably calmer, she slept better. She used to have great problems getting up in the morning. Now she feels awake and energetic after getting up. Her general condition improved considerably; breathing became easier. However, she still used the same high dosage of her asthma spray after 2 months of Reishi  ingestion!

Mr W. wrote: “Hello, I suffer from bronchial asthma as well and therefore from physical weakness. The doctor could ease the asthma, but not the weakness. Since I have learnt about Ling Zhi in the internet and take it regularly, I feel much better. I cannot stop the ingestion, because then the weakness and ailing health are back. … Thank you very much, for all the useful information!”

 

It is traditionally known that medicinal mushrooms are innocuous even in higher dosages, but they cannot replace a therapist!
