A CURA DELLA DOTT.SSA FRANCESCA ARDIGÒ
Medicinal Mushrooms for thicker hair
Medicinal mushrooms offer a range of benefits for hair and nail health, promoting strength, shine, and overall well-being for men and women of all ages. The impact goes beyond aesthetics. Mycotherapy can contribute to a healthy scalp, and healthy, thick hair is often associated with well-being, confidence, vitality, and attractiveness.
People experiencing alopecia often describe a profound sense of 'power loss,' revealing a deeper emotional impact than just aesthetics. The causes of brittle hair and hair loss are not just physiological and there may be many interacting factors.
Medicinal Mushrooms activate hair follicles, leading to remineralization of hair and making it healthier, assisting all round growth, regrowth, shine and improved condition.
Whether it is androgenetic, areata, acquired, genetic alopecia or seasonal loss of hair, Mycotherapy and Medicinal Mushrooms for hair are an important remedy. They act on the cause of hair loss and promote thickening, strengthening and regrowth even in areas where growth has stopped, stimulating the generation of new hair.
In particular, the most effective Medicinal Mushrooms in these cases - as demonstrated by various scientific studies - are certainly Polyporus and Reishi.
Polyporus and Reishi for hair regrowth
It was Japanese researchers who first demonstrated the powers of Medicinal Mushrooms and Mycotherapy for scalp health.
Polyporus, thanks to the presence of Polyporusterone A and B, promotes the growth and regrowth of new hair, strengthening it and protecting it from aging (Inaoka, 1994; Ishida,1999).
Reishi strengthens hair and nails thanks to ganoderic acid DM, (Miyamoto, 2009). It increases the nourishment and oxygenation of hair, stimulating its growth and generating new hair.
Shiitake, on the other hand, is indicated in the presence of alopecia areata. It induces hair regrowth even where there is thinning, thanks to its remineralising, strengthening, antioxidant and regenerative power.
Specifically, for more effective results, Polyporus, Reishi and Shiitake can be combined in synergy to form the "Super Hair" protocol.
Also, we must not forget that all these Medicinal Mushrooms also perform many other beneficial actions:
- Shiitake is excellent for protecting the gut and teeth;
- Reishi is anxiolytic, antibiotic, vasodilator, antioxidant;
- Polyporus has a very effective draining effect and is a natural immunostimulant.
As always, to achieve results, they should be taken at a dosage of two grams per day, for at least three months.
Rosa Canina Vita C and Magnesium are also important for the growth of hair and nails, in particular Magnesium is one of the main components.
Studies on Medicinal Mushrooms for hair and Mycotherapy treatments
A study conducted on 22 people suffering from hair loss gave significant results, which confirm the healing properties of Reishi and Polyporus Medicinal Mushrooms for hair-related problems:
- 78.9% of people who were administered Reishi experienced a benefit;
- 80% reported consistent hair regrowth across their entire scalp (even in areas where it had long since disappeared) in a period of 12 weeks. The remaining 20%, however, reported extensive regrowth also in other areas, such as the eyebrows and eyelashes (Bao, 1986; Liu,1991).
Dr. Halpern, an expert in Medicinal Mushrooms, reports that Reishi is included in many Japanese products against hair loss and to fight alopecia.
Professor Hishida, pharmacologist at Shizuoka University in Japan, has focused on the problem of alopecia and conducted two important studies. In the first research work he studied 80 different natural remedies and compared their ability to promote hair regrowth. Polyporus was found to be one of the most effective remedies, thanks to two substances it contains: Polyporusterone A and B, useful and fundamental for hair regrowth.
