Medicinal Mushrooms - Ancient Remedies for Modern Ailments (Paperback)

While almost all mushrooms share beneficial properties which heighten the immune system, the chapters of this book are dedicated to mushrooms that are the most promising possibilities for healing a variety of illnesses, including reishi (for liver disorders), cordyceps sinesis (anti-ageing), maitake (cancer), and hericum erinaceud (Alzheimer's Disease), among others. Mushrooms have been found in human culture for thousands of years. They have been used as a medicine since the very beginning, but in the past fifty years several major advancements in medicine have come from mushroom and other fungi, including the most famous of all, penicillin. This book explores mushroom history, as well as their possible uses in the future.
