(openPR) Constant pain and a variety of different complaints determine everyday life with fibromyalgia. Medicinal mushrooms provide gentle relief and help the body achieve more balance.
Those affected by fibromyalgia must learn to live with ongoing pain. Fibromyalgia literally means “muscle fiber pain”, in which the main symptom can be clearly seen: chronic pain that occurs primarily in muscles and tendon attachments in the neck, back, chest as well as in the arm and leg joints. However, these are by far not the only complaints that are associated with the clinical picture, which is more likely to be viewed as a syndrome. There are various symptoms in the central and autonomic nervous system, the immune system, in the hormonal balance and in the gastrointestinal tract. These include, among other things, states of exhaustion, sleep disorders, depression, irritable bowel syndrome with food intolerances, various vegetative symptoms, difficulty concentrating, delayed recovery after stress and much more. Officially, between two and four percent of Germans are affected by fibromyalgia. However, experts assume that the number of unreported cases is high because the diagnosis is difficult to make. The priority here is to rule out similar clinical pictures such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Is curable Fibromyalgia not. However, there are many measures that those affected can take to alleviate their suffering and regain their quality of life. Medicinal mushrooms such as Pleurotus, Reishi and Hericium are an option from naturopathy that can be used very specifically. Its ingredients contribute to both relieving symptoms and stabilizing derailed physical processes.
When stress makes you sick
One of the medicinal mushrooms that provides relief for people with fibromyalgia is Pleurotus. It counteracts the typical symptom, muscle fiber pain. It achieves this thanks to its muscle-relaxing and tendon-strengthening properties. Even if science does not yet know what exactly causes the disease, a close connection with high levels of stress in childhood as well as in the present is considered certain. These can be early childhood traumas and an emotionally stressful family situation. Before the actual outbreak of the disease, there are often very stressful life situations. That’s why medicinal mushrooms that have a balancing and calming effect on the body are particularly helpful. These include, for example, Reishi and Hericium, which provide relief for typical symptoms such as exhaustion, vegetative symptoms and sleep problems. In addition, high levels of oxidative stress with impaired energy metabolism have been repeatedly demonstrated in those affected by fibromyalgia. This explains the patients’ rapid exhaustion. The Cordyceps provides very good support here; it is energizing and gives energy. Both Cordyceps and Reishi are rich in substances that reduce oxidative stress. Overall, however, it is a very heterogeneous clinical picture, which is why an appropriate treatment must always be designed individually. The renowned MykoTroph Institute offers one for this purpose free telephone consultation at. Here, those affected receive tailored recommendations on medicinal mushrooms that improve their quality of life.
Gentle hormone regulation through medicinal mushrooms
If you take a closer look at the group of sufferers, you will notice that 90% are women. The first symptoms often appear in the fourth decade of life and often reach their peak around menopause. This suggests a connection to the hormonal balance. This is where medicinal mushrooms can be of great help as they counteract the hormonal imbalance. They regulate both sex hormones (Cordyceps) and thyroid function (Reishi). Fibromyalgia sufferers often suffer from an underactive thyroid. Medicinal mushrooms also help to compensate for the often existing serotonin deficiency. The lack of serotonin increases pain sensitivity, especially in the digestive tract. Many patients have irritable bowel symptoms and food intolerances. Medicinal mushrooms can also be used very well to address these points. They maintain healthy intestinal flora, support the mucous membranes in the digestive tract and strengthen the kidneys and liver, which are important organs for detoxification. The mixture of Reishi and Pleurotus is also known to curb allergic reactions. Just a reduction in the accompanying symptoms can bring great relief in the case of fibromyalgia and reduce the general stress level.
