It is well researched and known as a source of phytonutrients that have immune modulating, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, blood pressure and cholesterol balancing, adrenal & hepato-protective qualities.It is known as the ‘King of Medicinal Mushrooms’.

Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) Ancient Taoists revered Turkey Tail as a powerful yang tonic, aiding with energy and stamina. In China it has been used medicinally to increase circulation, reduce fevers, treat rheumatism, stop coughs and promote muscle growth. In Malaysia it is used to treat acne and eczema. Japan alone has published over 400 clinical studies, specifically focusing on two molecules found in turkey tale, polysaccharide K and polysaccharide P, (PSK and PSP). These molecules have been extensively researched for their use in cancer treatment both along side chemotherapy and on its own. PSK is the first mushroom derived anti-cancer drug approved by the Japanese government and is completely covered by healthcare. 
PSK has shown to improve the function of blood vessels, have significant immune enhancement properties and directly act on tumour cells, preventing metastasis. PSP inhibits tumour growth and has shown to prevent immunosuppression symptoms caused by chemotherapy.  Furthermore PSK is antiviral and has shown to inhibit HIV by modifying the viral receptor and preventing HIV from binding with lymphocytes. A pretty remarkable mushroom indeed! As cancer a treatment and a preventative with  over all incredible immune stimulating properties, Turkey Tale is not one to be missed. 

Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis) This ‘Elixir of Life’ adaptogenic mycomedicinal tonic has been long revered by many Shamanic lineages from around the world as a ‘Totem of Protection’. Acting as immune modulating, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, it also has been used with ‘ailments believed to be of supernatural origin’.
It is known as the ‘Bread of Ghosts Mushroom'. Agarikon is particularly good for treating shortness of breath, wheezing and asthmatic conditions. It fortifies the lungs and strengthens the stomach. In Unani medicine (Arabic traditional medicine) it is used for coughs, colds, asthma and as an expectorant. Extracts of Agarikon have been used to treat facial paralysis, epilepsy and as a brain tonic for melancholia. It also reduces excessive sweating, arrests vomiting and has been used as a remedy for hemorrhoids. 

Mesima  (Phellinus linteus) mushroom contains protein-polysaccharide constituents that have been shown to have immuno-modulating properties. Mesima is rich in compounds known as Beta D-glucans, that are known as "biological response modifiers". This means that they bind to the surface of innate immune cells and allows the body to ward off immune attacks more effectively. This reduces the tendency toward auto-immune reactions and hyper-inflammatory activity when the body is under attack. Furthermore promising research has shown Mesima to support fertility, treat menorrhagia (excessive menstrual bleeding) and even fight breast cancer. Shen Nong's Herbal Classic (considered today as the oldest book on Chinese Herbal medicine), classifies Mesima as number one in the superior medicines category, promoting youthfulness and longevity. 

Hawthorn Berry ( Crataegus monogyna) has had a reputation as being a 'heart tonic' for thousands of years. Now science has began to catch up with traditional medicine, as extracts of Hawthorn have proven to have powerful cardio-protective properties. Hawthorn extracts are currently being used to treat brady-arrhythmia (low and irregular heartbeat), angina (chest pain), palpitations and used for stroke prevention. It is rich in antioxidants reducing the negative effects of free radicals on the body that induce premature aging, anxiety, depression and chronic diseases. Hawthorn berries are rich in acetylcholine, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, choline, calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1 and C. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, hawthorn is used as a digestive aid. But perhaps the biggest reputation Hawthorn has is that it is known to treat a 'broken heart'. Sadness, depression and anxiety are no match for this powerful plant medicine.

Recognized for its potent spiritual and medicinal properties. Devils Club is commonly referred to as 'Canadian Ginseng", (though not actually in the ginseng family) the medicinal applications of this incredible plant are remarkably widespread.
