Lions Mane Mushroom- Why You Should Incorporate This Beauty Into Your Life

It’s time to continue our mushroom journey with Lions Mane mushroom. If you didn’t read the fist blog about Reishi mushroom check it out here. So let’s learn more about Lion’s mane a really beautiful and unique shaped mushroom.

Known as Hou Tou Gu in Chinese medicine, Lion’s Mane is thought of as a great cognitive tonic and brain health mushroom. What is really cool is that if you are looking at it from the Chinese medicine principle of like treats like then the fact that when young this mushroom looks like a little brain tells you what it is going to treat. And what do you know……it does treat the brain! In addition to this it works with the spleen, kidney, lung and stomach meridians which all have a close connection to the brain. Spleen and stomach providing calories for fuel, kidney filling it will marrow and lungs supporting all the vessels.

From a western view this mushroom is shown to support cognitive function, is a nootropic, helps with nerve growth factor, can support the immune system, is a neuroprotectant, and finally is thought to be a nerve tonic.

You can see that both the Chinese view and the western views are very similar. I think moral of this story is that Lion’s Mane is wonderful choice if you are looking for brain and nerve support as well and digestive function.
