MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

The research on herbal remedies for rheumatoid arthritis is exciting—and what they’re capable of is even more so.
And yet, beyond purely plant-based remedies, medicinal mushrooms and fungi are an even more provocative field for natural RA healing. In fact, many classic healing mushrooms are top candidates for research into healing autoimmune disorders—including rheumatoid arthritis—today.

SHIITAKE

Delicious and nutritious Japanese mushrooms, shiitakes are so much healthier beyond the dietary fiber, natural vitamin D, and vitamin B12 they provide.
A 2011 nutrition study on mice found that shiitakes could directly reduce the inflammatory symptoms caused by immune-related arthritis. What more, shiitakes were also included in a 2013 review of mushroom immunomodulators—namely, mushrooms that could help encourage the immune system to act normally.

MAITAKE

Maitake (also called hen-of-the-woods) mushrooms are favorites among foragers the world over. They may have enough research behind them too soon be popular among RA sufferers, too.
A lot of research has been undertaken on maitake’s immune properties, with immune-boosting truly being this fungi’s claim to fame. This includes this 2013 study on maitake demonstrating its immunomodulating properties—that is, its ability to normalize an autoimmune system.
While no studies to date have been started on maitake’s direct impact on RA and its symptoms, no doubt this delicious edible is one to try and have on one’s side.

REISHI

Of all medicinal mushrooms, reishi will remain king when it comes to immune protection. In this 2014 review, the colorful fungus was lauded as an anti-arthritic agent as well as an immunomodulator.
Hand in hand, these two properties make reishi the perfect ally for supporting RA—especially because it may help both RA symptoms as well as the immune system itself.
And as an added bonus: reishi brings the extra benefits of improving memory, reducing the chances of cancer, and even promoting healthy aging.

CHAGA

Chaga is another strong contender for immunity, right up there with reishi. Together, chaga and reishi are unbeatable immune boosters.
Just like reishi and even maitake, chaga contains powerful antioxidants that can protect cells against free radical damage, as documented in this 2012 review—and this includes the harmful inflammation caused by autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis.
For overall holistic support, nothing beats having medicinal mushrooms like shiitakes but especially maitakes, reishi, and chaga on one’s side.

How to Use Ganoderma for Arthritis👇
Ganoderma lucidum, also known as reishi or ling zhi, is a leathery mushroom that's been popular in Asian medicine for thousands of years. According to a December 2009 study in Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Ganoderma has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties, making it useful for treating chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involve inflammation of the joints, often accompanied by swelling and pain. RA is also an autoimmune disease that can cause inflammation in other parts of the body, leading to permanent damage. Ganoderma may reduce the pain and inflammation and, in the case of RA, modify the autoimmune reaction.

Make a Decoction👇
Chop ½ ounce of the dried mushroom into tiny pieces, or measure ½ ounce of the powdered herb.
Place the ganoderma in a pot with a cover.
Pour three cups of cold water over the herb.
Bring the mixture to a boil slowly.
Lower the heat after the mixture boils, cover and let simmer for 45 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let the decoction cool to drinking temperature.
Strain the mixture through a paper coffee filter or a metal strainer.
Drink one cup of this tea three times a day. Store the remainder in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator.

جلوگیری از ریزش مو با مصرف گانودرما (ریشی)

مکانیسم اثر:

1. Reishi As An Inhibitor of DHT

جلوگیری از فعالیت آنزیم 5α-reductase

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a sex hormone converted from testosterone by the enzyme known as 5α-reductase.

 This is a natural process, one which is not harmful to the majority of individuals. Men with a genetic predisposition to male-pattern baldness, however, are sensitive to DHT in the scalp. This is the leading cause of Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA).

Fortunately for sufferers of AGA, DHT inhibition is possible. With proper inhibition, hair loss may be reversible, and hair growth can occur in a natural, undisturbed manner.

One such manner is with reishi mushroom supplementation.

A 2005 Japanese study tested 19 species of mushroom to determine their 5α-reductase inhibitory effects.

First, researchers prepared ethanol extracts of each of the 19 mushroom species included in the experiment.

In the first part of this study, scientists added the ethanol extracts to a suspension containing rat liver and prostate microsomes. The purpose of this experiment was to determine percentage of inhibitory activity of each of the mushroom samples.

Reishi showed the most percentage of 5α-reductase inhibition, falling between 70 and 80%. For reference, the next most-effective mushroom species, pleurotus osteratus, showed an inhibitory percentage around 60%.

Next, researchers looked at the growth rate of prostates in castrated rats. As the prostate’s size is directly proportional to testosterone levels, this experiment aimed to determine whether G. lucidum (reishi mushroom) could inhibit testosterone’s effects.

The rats were split into three groups.

The first group was the control group, receiving only testosterone. The second group received both testosterone and G. lucidum (1.5 mg/kg), and the third group received both testosterone and a 15 mg/kg concentration of G. lucidum.

While the results did show that both concentrations of reishi reduced prostate weight below that shown in the testosterone control group, the lower concentration interestingly was more effective at doing so.

For those with hair problems sufferers, what should be the main takeaway from this study?

Chiefly, reishi mushroom is an effective inhibitor of 5α-reductase, thereby reducing the amount of DHT produced within the body.

For those with AGA, this is a critical find! It means that reishi mushroom supplementation can significantly reduce DHT levels, protecting the DHT-sensitive hair follicles from miniaturization.

2. Reishi As An Antimicrobial

 خاصیت صدف میکروبی گانودرما

With antibiotic resistance rapidly increasing, natural methods of fighting various microbes has quickly come to the forefront of scientific research.

Not surprisingly, reishi and other Chinese herb medicines have underwent extensive study. This is due to their thousands of years of use as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In a study by Quereshi et al., reishi mushroom was collected, dried, crushed, and then extracted through one of three methods (methanol, ethanol, and acetone). In addition, a negative control (distilled water) and a positive control (the antibiotic Gentamycin sulphate) were also used.

Each of the five solutions was added to the plates of six different bacterial pathogens, and each plate was the incubated for 24 hours. Each of the tests was repeated three times, and the results were thus:

Now, while known of the reishi extracts didn’t exceed the positive control results of the antibiotic, some of them did come quite close. Namely, the acetone extract against both B. subtilis and K. Pneumoniae. Additionally, all extracts did show a zone of microbial inhibition over the negative control.

You may be wondering, “what good is an antimicrobial against hair loss?”

Consider that not all forms of alopecia are due to DHT sensitivity.

Other forms of hair loss exist, caused by such things as fungal infections and bacterial overgrowth.

With the addition of an antimicrobial agent like reishi mushroom to your hair care routine, not only can you ensure that your scalp stays healthy, but you can also keep your hair follicles from becoming blocked or clogged. This will ensure that your hair strands have the best environment in which to develop and grow.

3. Reishi As An Immunomodulator

 تقویت سیستم ایمنی با استفاده از گانودرما

One particular form of alopecia – alopecia areata – is an autoimmune form of baldness.

The immune system works to keep the body safe against foreign attacks. These attacks include viruses and bacteria.

For those with alopecia areata, the immune system attacks the hair follicles, causing hairs to fall out and follicle damage. This leads to patchy hairs though, if left untreated, will lead to full hair loss over time.

There are a number of treatments which individuals with this type of alopecia undergo. And, while some may treat the hair issues at the time, it’s important for the root cause of the hair loss to be treated in order for a permanent solution to be found.

Is reishi such a permanent solution?

Well, reishi mushroom has proven to work as an immunomodulator. Essentially, this means that reishi can activate the immune system through chemical manipulation (in this case, cytokine production).

While no studies on reishi’s effect on alopecia areata currently exist, it isn’t a far jump to say that reishi may be beneficial in such treatment. After all, a proper immune response would lessen the attack on hair follicles and encourage the growth of healthy hair.

How to Use Reishi Mushroom Treatment

If you’re ready to experiment with reishi mushroom, you’ll be happy to know that there are a variety of methods you can try.

Make Your Own Reishi Shampoo

 نحوه ساخت شامپوی ریشی به صورت خانگی

Store-bought shampoos are full of chemicals and hard on your scalp. Combat this by making your own homemade shampoos.

Ingredients:

• Liquid castile soap (½ cup)
• Aloe vera gel (⅓ cup)
• Green tea (½ cup)
• Vanilla essential oil (10 drops)
• Reishi extract (1 cup)

Directions:

Bring a pot of water to boil, removing from heat and adding in the reishi mushroom to steep. Allow to cool to room temperature, and then discard of reishi solids.

Combine the reishi tea with the rest of the ingredients, being sure to stir thoroughly.

Apply the shampoo to wet hair, taking 2-3 minutes to massage into the scalp. The shampoo can sit for up to 5 minutes, and then rinse completely in lukewarm water.

Hair Benefits:

This potent combination has a variety of nourishing elements, while also stimulating hair growth and promoting a clean scalp.

The aloe vera gel is the main soother in this recipe, protecting the scalp from irritation and itchiness.

The reishi (which inhibits 5α-reductase) and the vanilla oil extract (which stimulates hair growth) work together to contribute to a healthy environment in which hair can grow.

Last, the various compounds found within green tea promote further hair growth and provide a powerful punch of antioxidants.

Add It To a Hair Growth Mask

 While homemade shampoos are a fantastic start, you can always go the extra mile and create your own scalp scrubs, moisturizers, and even hair growth masks.

What You’ll Need:

• Avocado (1 half)
• Vanilla Essential Oil (10 drops)
• Cherries (6, peeled and pitted)
• Water (1/2 cup)
• Herbs (nettle, chamomile, reishi)

Directions:

Bring a pot (or kettle) of water to boil. Remove from heat, and add in the nettle, chamomile, and reishi. Allow to steep until water reaches room temperature, then remove herbs.

Combine the herb and mushroom tea, with the avocado, cherries, and vanilla essential oil. Add to a blender and blend the mixture at high speed until smooth.

Apply the mask to wet hair and scalp. Massage the mask into your scalp for 2-3 minutes, and then allow to sit on scalp for 15-20 minutes. Rinse the mask with lukewarm water, and then towel dry.

Hair Benefits:

This nourishing and moisturizing hair mask will benefit your scalp in a number of ways.

Of course, the reishi acts as an inhibitor of 5α-reductase. The avocado provides a variety of nutrients, while simultaneously protecting the scalp from dryness. The cherries add in a boost of antioxidants, while the vanilla essential oil works to stimulate new hair growth.

Add It To Your Diet

If you’d rather not play chemist, then you can forego the creation of your own shampoos and hair masks and instead opt for the easy method of supplementation – adding it to your diet.

Of course, reishi makes an excellent tea while providing all of the many benefits mentioned above.

You can also add it to soups, salads, and even grill it for an appetizing and nourishing side dish.

Note: Prior to consuming, soak mushrooms overnight. This will soften the husk which surrounds the mushroom, without removing any of its nutrients.

Or you can take it as a supplement.

What’s the Bottom Line?

While there have yet to be any human studies done to determine reishi mushroom’s direct effects on hair growth, the current research does show promising results for those looking to treat their genetic baldness naturally.

Of course, combining reishi with other natural treatments, such as supplementation with pumpkin seed oil and primrose essential oil, can enhance results and improve your hair growth efforts over time.

سوال و جواب هایی در ارتباط با قارچ ریشی یا گانودرما

1. What is reishi?
   Reishi is a type of mushroom that grows on live trees. Scientists may call it either Ganoderma lucidum or Ganoderma sinense. In traditional Chinese medicine, this group of mushrooms is known as Ling Zhi. In Japan, they are known as Reishi. In China, G. lucidum is known as Chizhi and G. sinense is known as Zizhi.
   There are many other types of Ganoderma mushrooms and it is hard to tell the medicinal mushrooms from the other types.
   Reishi has been used as medicine for a very long time in East Asia. It was thought to prolong life, prevent aging, and increase energy. In China, it is being used to strengthen the immune system of cancer patients who receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
2. How is reishi given or taken?
   Reishi is usually dried and taken as an extract in the form of a liquid, capsule, or powder.
3. Have any laboratory or animal studies been conducted using reishi?
   In laboratory studies, tumor cells are used to test a new substance and find out if it is likely to have any anticancer effects. In animal studies, tests are done to see if a drug, procedure, or treatment is safe and effective in animals. Laboratory and animal studies are done before a substance is tested in people.
   Laboratory and animal studies have tested the effects of the active ingredients in reishi mushrooms, triterpenoids and polysaccharides, on tumors, including lung cancer. See the Laboratory/Animal/Preclinical Studies section of the health professional version of Medicinal Mushrooms for information on laboratory and animal studies done using reishi.
4. Have any studies of reishi mushrooms been done in people?
   Studies using products made from reishi have been done in China and Japan.
   Lung cancer
   Studies suggest that the use of products made from reishi as adjuvant therapy may help strengthen the immune system in patients with lung cancer.
   Studies in patients with lung cancer include the following:

   • In an open-label trial done in China, 36 patients with advanced lung cancer were given an over-the-counter product made from reishi called Ganopoly. The patients were being treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy, along with other complementary therapies. Some patients had marked changes in the immune responses being studied, such as lymphocyte count and natural killer cell activity, and some patients had no change in immune response. A similar study of Ganopoly in 47 patients with colorectal cancer showed the same results.
   • In China, a study was done with 12 lung cancer patients. Their blood was tested to see if taking a product made from reishi could help improve immune response. The study found that the polysaccharides in reishi mushrooms may help cancer-fighting immune cells, called lymphocytes, stay active.
   Colorectal cancer
   The following study looked at reishi for the prevention of colorectal cancer:

   • In Japan, 225 patients with benign colorectal tumors were studied. For 12 months, 123 of the patients were given an extract of the mushroom G. lucidum mycelia (MAK), while 102 patients did not receive treatment with MAK. At 12 months, a follow-up colonoscopy was done on all the patients. The number and the size of the tumors decreased in the group that received MAK, but not in the group that did not receive MAK. The researchers suggest that MAK may help stop benign colorectal tumors from forming.
