Alchemical Wizard 8 : Medicinal Fungi / Immune Boosting Mushrooms!
These Alchemical Wizard blogs are here to support us in our Ascension Process. It is a relevant linear time to keep boosting and detoxifying our biological bodies, our Avatars. There is a lot of Photonic light right now and more Air showers (physics) on the way. These fungi can help us ease our Ascension Symptoms. Mushrooms have the ability to boost the immune system and combat many dis-eases by way of providing important vitamins, minerals and enzymes. I use them a lot in the winter months in stews and soups for their extra immune boosting powers! Foraging for them locally is becoming a much needed skill set. And a popular way to get to know your surroundings and community better!
1. Shiitake. The ancient Chinese used shiitake to improve energy levels, speed recovery from illness, slow the aging process and as a treatment for respiratory and liver diseases. Shiitakes are also unique for a plant because they contain all eight essential amino acids, along with a type of essential fatty acid called Linoleic acid. Linoleic acid helps with weight loss and building muscle. It also has bone-building benefits, improves digestion, and reduces food allergies and sensitivities. Shiitake mushrooms are a great source of B vitamins, which help support adrenal function and turn nutrients from food into useable energy. They also help balance hormones naturally and break through the brain fog to maintain focus all day long. They improve your cognitive performance.
2. Maitake. Maitake a widely used mushroom in Japan possesses immune-boosting compounds called beta-glucans, which, though present in certain other foods, possess a structure in maitake mushrooms that is particularly effective. Receptors for these polysaccharide molecules, known as D-fraction, are found on a category of white blood cells known as macrophages. When you eat maitake mushrooms these cells, which have the job of engulfing foreign particles such as pathogens and tumor cells, are activated. Macrophages, in turn, activate other components of the immune system, such as natural killer cells and cytotoxic T cells. I can't say enough about this one. I sometimes even find them at regular grocery stores.
3. Reishi. Reishi mushroom's have been used for 2,000 years in Chinese medicine. Reishi has the ability to boost the body's immune system to protect it against pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and parasites. It is one of the most popular mushrooms in the East and West for enhancing a compromised immune system and like cordyceps, maitake, and shiitake mushrooms, the reishi mushroom's immunologically active constituents are polysaccharides, primarily beta-D-glucan. Beta-D-glucan has immune-stimulating qualities as well as liver protecting and antioxidant qualities.
4. Cordyceps. Cordyceps is valued primarily for its extraordinary ability to increase energy and reduce fatigue by dilating the lung’s airways, providing more oxygen to the blood. It has been used in the past to strengthen the immune system by increasing the amount of the body’s natural killer cells. These defend the body against unwanted bacteria. It benefits the entire vascular system by regulating blood pressure, strengthening the muscles of the heart and improving circulation. Cordyceps boosts adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) levels in the body. ATP is the body's main energy supply source and is required for all cellular processes.
5. Chaga. Chaga the king of the medicinal mushrooms is one of the most powerful adaptogens and superfoods on the planet, exhibiting immune supporting complex polysaccharides that are considerably more potent than most any other medicinal mushroom. In addition to sterols, polyphenols and polysaccharides, the mushroom also contains a host of other superhealthy antioxidant constituents including melanin and superoxide dismutase as well as triterpenes, like betulin, inotodiol and lupeol. Lets just say that a single strong cup of Chaga tea has the same number of antioxidants as 30 pounds of carrots.
6. Lions Mane. Yamabushitake. Lions Mane has the ability to repair and regenerate neurons, resulting in improved cognitive function. Apart from vitamins and minerals, Lion’s Mane also contains some specific compounds such as hericerins, erinacines, erinaceolactones and specific glycoproteins and polysaccharides. This is the mushroom that has been found to be extremely effective at inducing what is referred to as "nerve growth factor" or NGF in the brain. This is a good one to brew in your tea!
7. Turkey Tail. Kawaratake. Turkey Tail is full of polysaccharides and triterpenes that give its immunomodulating properties. Turkey Tail has two unique beta-glucans. PSK and PSP. PSK and PSP have the ability to regenerate white blood cells and stimulate the activity and creation of T cells, macrophages and natural killer cells which destroy pathogens.
Blessings Everyone! Stay Hydrated with Structured Water my Friends! We are Sovereign and We are most defiantly Freeing Ourselves!
