Shiitake Mushroom
(Lentinus edodes)
Actions:
Adaptogen, deep immune activator, antiviral, antineoplastic.
Common Use: Shiitake appears to be beneficial for soothing bronchial
inflammations and regulating urine incontinence. Shiitake mycelia is rich in carbohydrates,
protein, vitamins and minerals. It contains a polysaccharide-protein
complex that studies have shown to: activate macrophages, promoting recognition of antigens and information
transmission to the helper T-cells and increasing the rate at which
objects are engulfed; reinforce interleukin-1 production, activating
the helper T-cells; promote the mitosis of B-lymphocytes (and others),
increasing their proliferation; increase antibody production; and, improve
health of chronic hepatitis patients. This fungi has been extensively studied in the Orient
and elsewhere, the reported beneficial findings are to detailed and
numerous to mention here. For anyone with further interest we recommend
reading Medicinal Mushrooms by Christopher Hobbs, subjects include reishi,
shiitake, maitake, kombucha, and more. 20 to 40 drops 2-3 times daily.
