Medicinal Mushrooms in Cancer Care
Medicinal mushrooms have been used for centuries in traditional medicine systems like Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda. Today, modern research is catching up, with studies highlighting their immune-modulating, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
Key Benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms:
Immune Support: Many medicinal mushrooms contain beta-glucans, compounds that enhance the activity of immune cells, including natural killer cells and macrophages. This is especially valuable during chemotherapy or radiation when immunity is often compromised.
Stress Relief: Mushrooms like reishi help the body adapt to stress by regulating cortisol levels.
Cancer-Specific Benefits:
Turkey Tail: Its polysaccharide-K (PSK) is widely used in Japan to support the immune system during cancer treatments.
Reishi: Research suggests it may help reduce tumor growth and improve overall quality of life in cancer patients.
