Reishi Mushroom
Reishi mushrooms are fungi that are popularized by Eastern medicine. This mushroom is also called Ganoderma lucidum and lingzhi, which is suitable for growing in Asia’s hot and humid areas. Whether eaten fresh or taken in a powdered form, reishi mushrooms are effective in fighting myocarditis. This is due to its several nutrients, such as triterpenoids, polysaccharides, and peptidoglycans.
In Chinese medicine, reishi mushrooms are also known as the divine mushroom of immortality or the essential elixirs of the Orient. This is because it has been popularized to treat severe diseases in the cardiovascular system, such as heart failure due to myocarditis.
Reishi mushroom’s ability to boost the immune system is one factor that makes it effective in fighting myocarditis. This is due to how it improves the overall health of white blood cells. Healthy white blood cells are effective in killing infections that may cause myocarditis. It can also lessen the inflammation of the myocardium by clearing the pathways around the heart muscle. Reishi mushroom not only improves the health of the white blood cells but also increases their number.
