4 Powerful Healing Herbs

The term 'herb' refers to every part of the plant, from the roots to the flowers, growing freely in the natural world. Medicinal properties of herbs have been used for thousands of years for their health benefits.

Herbalists, like Dr. Hilary have researched the medicinal properties of plants and can suggest certain herbs to treat specific conditions. Herbalists treat illnesses holistically, treating the root cause of a disorder rather than just the symptoms.

Herbalists commonly utilize sunshine, cleansing procedures, exercise, lifestyle modifications, fresh air, hydration, and hands-on healing in addition to herbs and foods. Herbalists undergo rigorous and in-depth training on the complexities of suggesting herbs. These herbal medications are considered one of the safest treatment alternatives.


Four of Our Favorite Healing Herbs

Turmeric

Making curry tonight? Add a pinch of turmeric. Research is proving what countries like India and Sri Lanka have known for a long time: that this yellow spice has more uses than just enhancing food flavor. 

Tumeric from Anima Mundi surrounded by bright oranges

Curcumin, the main chemical in turmeric, has been used for over 4000 years to cure various disorders. It has been shown to prevent dementia and cancer and function as an anti-inflammatory. Turmeric may be therapeutic for chronic illnesses where inflammation harms body tissues.

One of the factors underlying aging and many diseases is oxidative damage. Free radicals, highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons, are involved. Those hideous free radicals react with essential chemical compounds such as fatty acids, proteins, and DNA.

The findings of recent studies on the health advantages of turmeric are promising. However, if you have a specific health condition that you believe turmeric could help, make sure to consult your physician.



Reishi

powdered reishi and other herbs for immune support

The Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is a species of edible medicinal fungus that has been utilized for thousands of years to treat various ailments. These mushrooms are anti-inflammatory and have been associated with increased longevity, more excellent immunological function, and mental clarity, which may explain why G. lucidum has been dubbed "king of mushrooms."

The Reishi mushroom signifies "a mixture of spiritual potency and the essence of immortality" in Traditional Chinese Medicine.  G. lucidum is unique because its medicinal value takes precedence over its nutritional benefit and are adaptogen herb-like compounds.

Reishi mushrooms can protect you from a variety of ailments and illnesses. According to studies, Reishi mushrooms work as a normalizer, regulating various cellular activities and systems. They can assist in restoring hormonal balance, return the body to equilibrium, and regulate immune system activity.

Cordyceps

cordyceps from anima mundi used for invincibility

To prevent the depletion of wild mushrooms, Anima Mundi acquires their mushrooms from a small, organic farm. To ensure long-term viability, high quality, and diversity, it is critical to use organic and locally sourced mushrooms. China produces 85 percent of the world's mushrooms, so be sure your mushrooms come from local sources- or purchase from JADA Studios so you know your source.

Cordyceps has long been used in TCM as a rejuvenating "cure-all." The most popular uses for fatigue, exhaustion, liver protection, respiratory ailment alleviation, and libido enhancement were the most commonly used. This method could potentially alleviate stress, senility, weakness, or lack of willpower (mentally and physically). Cordyceps has numerous benefits, including increased stamina and energy. And although it seems counterintuitive, it's also good for sleep disorders (ask Dr. Hilary if you're curious about these seemingly opposite benefits).

As a result, Cordyceps mycelium culture provides a practical, sustainable and economical alternative to wild Cordyceps. Preventing cancer development, protecting kidneys, improving lung function, enhancing athletic performance, and boosting the immune system are just some of the benefits of taking this supplement.
