Mycotherapy

Mycotherapy is the use of medicinal mushrooms and their extracts to support health and treat various conditions. Certain fungi, like reishi, maitake, and cordyceps, contain bioactive compounds—such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and antioxidants—that can strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness. This approach often involves incorporating these mushrooms into diets or using supplements, and it has been used traditionally and increasingly in modern integrative medicine. While not a replacement for conventional treatments, mycotherapy can complement healthcare plans and may help improve vitality and resilience.
