Dun Dun Dun Duuuuuun.
The Tremella Mushroom.
The ancient beauty. In China, it was said that the woman who ate Tremella mushrooms, were more "beautiful than the flowers". A youthful skin tonic, the skin “beautifier”.
But my love for the tremella mushroom is much more than skin deep. It is by far my favorite looking mushroom, but, there are many useful health benefits as well. Filled with vitamin D, A rich anti-tumor agent,it also lowers blood glucose and cholesterol. A strong Immune system enhancer as well as enhancing antioxidant levels. It has been proven to also improve your memory.
One of my favorite properties, tremella mushrooms helps fight off radiation. Which is a department we all need a little assistance with. Constantly submerging ourselves with radiation with our cell phones, microwaves, laptops, computers, cell towers, x-rays, body scans,etc. Even our hair dryers give off radiation- straight into our brain. LOVELY.
But thank goodness, Tremella works effectively as a topical antioxidant preventing oxidative damage, as well as enhancing one of the body’s own powerful free-radical-fighting mechanisms, superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD could be called a cascading antioxidant-when it neutralizes one free radical, it is then able to neutralize another.
Tremella fuciformis has traditionally been believed to benefit the skin and ‘enhance beauty’, and Tremella’s polysaccharides (the Many( poly) GOOD sugars (sacharides) produced in the mushroom) have been developed for use in cosmetics on account of their excellent skin moisture retention, skin protection, flexibility and flattening effects, as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Their ability to prevent senile degeneration of micro-vessels also helps maintain blood perfusion to the skin.
Traditionally Chinese women, including the legendary beauty Yang Guifei, have been using tremella mushroom to make the skin moist, soft and pliable. According to traditional Chinese medicine tremella mushroom nourishes the lung, stomach and kidney, strengthens the bones, helps maintain ideal weight and provides proper moisture throughout the skin
Radiant beauty reflects “whole” health.
From deep within, the Tremella mushroom is just one of many of an incredible family of medicinal mushrooms that offers an immense amount of healing benefits.
