Chinese Medicine Perspective
We have added very brief and simple descriptions about Traditional Chinese Medicine's (TCM) perspective on medicinal mushrooms. TCM has used mushrooms for thousands of years for medicinal and healing purposes, giving us an alternative approach on how to understand the effect that mushrooms have.
Perhaps one of the most helpful aspects of Chinese Medicine is the holistic approach to human life.
Everything we ingest will have an overall effect on our bodies; not just to one particular aspect alone.
This helps to see our health in broader sense and also approach recovery with a long-term mindset.
We highly recommend to always consult with well trained Chinese Medicine herbalist when taking powerful supplements such as Oriveda over long duration, especially for medical purposes.
(Note! Many of the TCM practitioners do not specialise in herbs and many offer questionable service, so it is worth looking around until you find a person whom you can trust to be professional and knowledgeable).
