BY DR. FRANCESCA ARDIGÒ
Eliminate water retention and edema thanks to Medicinal Mushrooms
In summer it is common to suffer from edema, water retention and heavy legs. The heat can cause annoying swelling in the body.
At the same time, summer awakes the desire to discover and take care of oneself and keep fit.
Medicinal Mushrooms favor the renewal of liquids, draining and slimming the whole body, especially the legs.
Medicinal Mushrooms in the treatment of water retention
Polyporus umbellatus is the best Medicinal Mushroom for water retention, because it produces an interesting diuretic effect.
What distinguishes Polyporus from chemical diuretics is that it manages to maintain intra and extra-cellular potassium levels unaltered, making the Polyporus Medicinal Mushroom ideal in the treatment of edema, in lymphatic drainage and in the elimination of toxins, without affecting the mineral balance of the body.
Saving potassium also promotes the health of the heart, nerves and muscles, allowing all cellular metabolic functions to perform their work in the most optimal and balanced way, ensuring good drainage and optimal health.
Polyporus promotes blood circulation, eliminates excess sodium, helps the heart to push fluids, regulates pressure changes and makes the legs slimmer.
This Medicinal Mushroom is known for supporting microcirculation, also useful for circulation and for the skin to keep it smooth and compact.
The powers of Polyporus are many, since thanks to its active ingredients it helps the kidneys to eliminate toxins and stagnating liquids. It supports the purifying activity of the liver in the elimination of toxins, strengthens bones, teeth, nails and especially hair, strengthening the mineral parts of the body and the immune system.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been using Polyporus for two thousand years to combat lymphatic stasis, edema, swelling, kidney disease, hair loss and also to combat cellulite. In the last fifty years, many scientific studies, conducted by Universities and Research Centers around the world, have confirmed the properties of Polyporus described here.
Auricularia Medicinal Mushroom for water retention
Auricularia (Auricularia auricula-judae) is a Medicinal Mushroom rich in adenosine, a molecule useful for our psychological well-being because it strengthens psycho-emotional functions and effectively counteracts stress, anxiety and even insomnia.
The active ingredients of which this Medicinal Mushroom is rich promote vasodilation, improve oxygenation, nourish the heart tissues making them stronger, facilitate the expulsion of toxic materials from the body and perform an important anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action.
In fact, water retention, in addition to generating imperfections and swelling, over time damages veins and capillaries, counteracting correct blood circulation. The association of Auricularia and Polyporus restores health to the microcirculation, allowing the blood to flow smoothly, thus preserving the health of capillaries, veins and arteries.
This is why the "Water Retention Kit" offers a good contribution to slim your legs and protect the health of lower limb microcirculation.
Combining Vita C Rosa canina favors the absorption and action of Medicinal Mushrooms. Its wealth of vitamin C and flavonoids, such as rutin, quercetin and hesperidin, also allows it to perform a strong anti-oxidant action. It also supports the immune system by promoting collagen production.
