Lion's Mane Has Many Therapeutic Benefits

If you are turning away from modern medicine and the use of often toxic prescription drugs in favor of natural remedies that are safe and will allow you to enjoy glowing good health and wellness without horrible side effects, you should take a look at Lion's Mane.

This medicinal mushroom is currently the subject of intensive scientific research, but it is hardly a newcomer to Natural Remedies. In fact, it has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries and was reserved exclusively for Chinese emperors for many years.
Here are some of the beneficial uses for lion's mane:

Regulates blood sugar
Regulates blood pressure
Boosts immune system
Alleviates arthritis symptoms
Fights infection
Reduces inflammation
Helps digestive tract disorders such as duodenal and stomach ulcers
Rejuvenates nerve growth and reduces symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
Alleviates symptoms of sensory neuropathy, common in HIV patients
Eliminates toxins within the body
Anti-cancer and anti-tumour

These are all fantastic health benefits, but perhaps the most exciting thing about lion's mane is its effect on treating and potentially preventing such brain dysfunctions as senility and Alzheimer’s Disease!

Researchers are working with lion's mane due to its ability to stimulate the production of NGF, or Nerve Growth Factor. A deficiency of NGF has been shown to be a prime cause of Alzheimer's Disease and other neural disorders.

What is NGF?

Nerve Growth Factor is a protein molecule that is synthesized in tiny amounts in all vertebrate tissues. It plays a major role in the survival of nerve cell populations in the central and peripheral nervous system. The problem is that NGF as a protein is too large

to permeate the barrier membrane that exists between your blood and your brain. So, in people with dwindling amounts of NGF causing brain disorders such as Alzheimer's; it is difficult to get NGF to the brain where it is sorely needed in order to renew neuron growth and repair.

Lions Mane to the rescue!

Researchers have isolated two different types of molecules present in lion's mane that not only stimulate the production of NGF, but also permit it to pass through the blood/brain barrier so that the work of repairing and renewing neurons within the brain can begin. This is exciting stuff!

Lion's Mane has also been shown to help with other neurological problems such as relieving the pain of patients suffering from distal sensory neuropathy, a condition common to those with AIDS as well as many others.

Another primary benefit of lion's mane lies in its ability to boost your natural immune system. A healthy Immune System is critical to maintaining good health and well being and anything that stimulates your body to boost immunity will make you much less likely to get sick!

If you would like to get on the fast track to abundant good health and vitality, you might consider taking a cue from the ancient Chinese emperors who recognized the therapeutic values of lion's mane!
