Medicinal mushrooms are defined as macroscopic fungi used in the form of powder or extracts for the prevention, alleviation, or healing of multiple diseases, and for balancing a healthy diet.
It’s well known that medicinal mushrooms were a key treatment modality in ancient medicine. Centuries-old treatment plans included medicinal mushrooms as antibacterial agents, remedies to combat metabolic conditions, fatigue, and inflammation, and as immune-boosters. No longer a method of treatment for ancient medicine alone, supplementing current care plans with medicinal mushroom compounds has recently gained momentum here in the West.
