October Product of the Month

ByTory Wegner, LAc

?Power mushrooms are one of my favorite products! It’s a formula that was created by a Chinese herbalist and it contains 4 different varieties of medicinal mushrooms (Reishi/ling zhi, Tremella/bai mu er, Poria sclerotium/fu ling, and polyporus sclerotium/zhu ling). This product is an immune system modulator, which means it helps balance and strengthen the immune system whether you are perfectly healthy or fighting an infection. In TCM terms it is considered a Qi (energy) tonic. Since the only ingredients are mushrooms (food) they can be taken all season long with no adverse effect. There have been all kinds of studies done in Japan and China researching the positive effects of mushrooms, so I feel confident recommending these.

?Since we are moving into cold and flu season I recommend everyone get a bottle of power mushrooms and start boosting their immune system so they can avoid getting sick in the first place. There are a couple of ways that these can be taken; if you are traveling, going on an airplane, moving into a stressful time at work you can start taking power mushrooms as a preventative to boost your immune system. At the very first sign of a cold, the very first tickle in your throat, start taking these immediately! While I usually recommend these be taken seasonally, I also have plenty of patients who take these on a daily basis. This product can be used for a variety of conditions like some autoimmune disorders, lingering colds or flu, asthma, and allergies, to name a few (ask your acupuncturist if power mushrooms is right for you). I’ve had several patients take it for their allergies because they are sensitive to over-the-counter medicine and they report less sinus congestion and improved energy. I personally have been taking this product for years and I’ve only missed 1 day of work in the last 5 years due to illness; for me that’s proof enough that it works!

?Be proactive and come on in and stock up your medicine cabinet with some power mushrooms to boost your immune system and energy level for a healthy fall season!
