Medicinal Mushrooms
The use of medicinal mushrooms for their supportive health qualities has recently sky-rocketed. Benefits of medicinal mushrooms range from supporting a healthy immune system to optimizing brain function. Whether you want a natural antioxidant or anti-inflammatory, or want an alternative to typical over-the-counter medicines, medicinal mushrooms such as the Lion’s Mane Mushroom may be just what you’re looking for.
Hericium erinaceus, better known as lion’s mane mushroom, is a white globe-shaped fungus with icicle-like spines. This mushroom’s name comes from its resemblance to a lion’s mane. This tooth fungus has been a staple in Asian countries because of its incredible medicinal qualities. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been using lion’s mane for its amazing qualities that support healthy brain function. At Aloha, lion’s mane is now the number 3 seller and our fastest growing product. See for yourself why people can’t get enough of it.
