Marvelous Medicinal Mushrooms
Have you seen medicinal mushrooms all over your socials, in magazines, health shops & thought I just don’t know how to take them or why I should be taking them?
Well look no further…..
These Fungi Friends typically grow wild on trees, logs and stumps all around the world from Asia to Russia, so very clean and very ethical to source. For thousands of years, mushrooms have been used in traditional medicines to treat and support health in general, from infections to the immune system, as well as all round health…… the health benefits really are endless!
More recent studies have shown they are rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols which can help promote circulation, reduce inflammation & help control blood sugar.

How do I take medicinal mushrooms?
Most mushrooms come in powder form or capsule. Most research will show mushroom powders are better mixed with hot/warm water because the absorption is better, in turn the health benefits are better.
All of the mushrooms go well in coffee or hot chocolate. You can add plant milks to them if you wish or adding a spoon to food like a sauce can add a great earthy flavour as well as getting your daily goodness.
