Over the past few decades, there has been an increase in chronic diseases, which can be attributed to a lack of exercise, malnutrition and also an increase in environmental toxins.
The treatment of chronic illnesses with the help of medicinal mushrooms - also known as medicinal mushrooms - is a healing method that is thousands of years old.
This healing method is firmly anchored in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It records the diseased creature (human or animal) in its entirety and attempts to alleviate the symptoms of the disease. In addition, it also strives to identify and eliminate the causes of illness.
Treatment with medicinal mushrooms can be combined very well with western medicine and can often reduce the side effects of pharmaceutical preparations. Medicinal mushrooms can also help to keep the necessary dose of conventional medicine constant or even reduce it.
Medicinal mushrooms contain many ingredients that are necessary for detoxification, inhibition of inflammatory processes or improvement of metabolic processes.
Some medicinal mushrooms even contain substances that can slow down the formation or growth of tumors.
In order to use all ingredients effectively, it is absolutely necessary to use the entire mushroom for therapy. In addition, mushroom powder extracts should be avoided because, on the one hand, important ingredients are missing and, on the other hand, the manufacturing process leads to a significantly reduced effect.
Treatment should be initiated and monitored by a qualified veterinarian.
CONTRAINDICATIONS when treating with medicinal mushrooms/vital mushrooms and INTERACTIONS with conventional medicine must be known and observed.
Depending on the age of the animal, its symptoms and its general condition, gradual treatment is absolutely necessary.
As with all natural remedies, therapy with medically effective mushrooms should generally be used in the medium to long term.
The use of medicinal mushrooms is recommended as a sole or additional medication for various chronic diseases. They can help the animal's general condition improve, but a full recovery is also possible.
