Polyporus - sensibly combined a natural beauty elixir for skin and hair.
It is also a proven means of naturally and gently dehydrating the body. The mushroom naturally helps the body to dehydrate without side effects and without negatively affecting the potassium level in the blood.
The medicinal mushroom Polyporus Umbellatus is also called Eichase
Polyporus umbellatus is a medicinal mushroom and is also known to us as the squirrel mushroom. It was mentioned two thousand years ago in the Chinese compendium “Medicines of the pious farmer” and thus points to a long tradition in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
The polypore is found mainly in beech and oak forests from June to October. It grows in the temperate climates of Europe and Asia. Its dense tufts can weigh up to 20 kilos, a very impressive sight in nature. Although it does not have the status of a gourmet mushroom, it is still valued as an edible mushroom. In traditional Chinese medicine, the polypore is boiled and the broth is then used to treat infections and to strengthen the body. It is considered the oldest known antibiotic. Because of its strong antibacterial effect, it was also highly valued by the Indians as a wound disinfectant and hemostatic agent. The polypore is rich in organic vital substances and has long been considered a valuable medicinal product throughout Asia.
Polyporus is rich in many nutrients
It is particularly rich in minerals, calcium, potassium and iron. It also contains considerable amounts of the trace elements copper, manganese and zinc. Other ingredients include ergosterol, the precursor of provitamin D, important B vitamins such as biotin, niacin, folic acid and vitamin A (retinol). Polyporus also contains specific polysaccharides and polypeptides, the numerous positive health effects of which have already been scientifically proven.
Polyporus supports the body
In TCM, Polyporus is used to improve the skin, prevent hair loss, relax muscle tissue, support urination and open sweat gland pores. It is still highly valued today as a diuretic, which has also shown positive effects in regulating lymph flow, edema, jaundice and diarrhea.
A special feature of the dehydrating effect of Polyporus is that although it increases urine production and thus the excretion of water, sodium and chloride, there is no increase in the excretion of potassium. This is a decisive advantage, as it is extremely important for many bodily functions, especially for muscle and nerve activity.
Beautiful hair thanks to Polyporus
Recent studies have shown that taking Polyporus extract stimulates hair growth, extends the lifespan of the hair and improves the appearance and suppleness of the hair. Some ingredients of Polyporus umbellatus therefore play an important role in hair growth as bioactive substances.
