The Power of Tiger Milk Mushroom
Its unique name was derived from a folklore by the indigenous people who believe that these mushrooms grow at the place where a tigress dropped her milk when feeding her cubs. Tiger milk mushroom’s sclerotium is white in colour and even has a milk-like taste, giving credence to their belief that it is really tiger milk!
The medicinal value of the sclerotium that is typically hidden underground makes it a scarce and highly valuable resource.
Here are some of the numerous health benefits of tiger milk mushroom:
1. Strong Immunity
Tiger milk mushroom stimulates the production of human immune cells and triggers an immune response to combat infections. It has been proven to boost immune cells, enhance the body’s ability to resist infection, effectively differentiate and eliminate foreign substances.
2. Rich in Anti-oxidants
Studies have shown that the sclerotia of tiger milk mushroom can help one deal with the daily oxidative stress in the body. This prevents the harsh effects of premature aging.
3. Lung & Respiratory Health
Tiger milk mushroom has been shown effective in treating symptoms related to inflammation such as chronic cough, respiratory problems, as well as nasal and sinus problems.
4. Anti-inflammatory
Tiger milk mushroom can effectively reduce the body’s excessive reaction to allergens, help improve respiratory allergies (asthma, cough), and is beneficial to heavy smokers and people who are exposed to polluted environment. It can also help to relieve joint pain.
The chart above shows that tiger milk mushroom exhibited anti inflammatory activity. The anti-inflammatory pattern was similar to 10mg/kg of Indomethacin, a drug used to treat inflammatory diseases.
5. Illness Buster
The Beta-1,3/1,6- Glucan in the tiger milk mushroom’s sclerotia is a very good immune boosting substance. In the body, Beta glucan helps to modulate immune cells, such as macrophages and neutrophils, which will strengthen the body’s defence against foreign substances.
All in all, tiger milk mushroom is great for your vitality and wellbeing as it improves muscle strength and support active lifestyles.
