Organic Maitake powder
Maitake mushrooms (Grifola frondosa) are a species of edible mushroom highly valued for its beneficial properties in various fields of traditional and modern medicine.
Maitake mushrooms have a long tradition in various cultures, especially in East Asia and North America.
Native American tribes also recognised the health-enhancing properties of maitake, using it in various herbal combinations. These traditional, intergenerational practices show that maitake is valued as a natural remedy to improve overall health and well-being.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), maitake mushrooms have a balancing effect on the body’s Qi (vital energy), possibly boosting the immune system and supporting liver health. They are thought to help regulate blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Because of this effect, maitake is often used in soups and teas.
In Ayurveda, maitake mushrooms are valued for their rejuvenating properties. They are considered to be a powerful rasayana (tonic) that can balance the tridoshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha). Ayurvedic doctors often recommend maitake mushrooms to boost immunity, improve the digestive system and support the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Modern research also reports on the health benefits of maitake mushrooms.
