Treatment of herpes with the help of Reishi and Shiitake

Herpes is one of the most common viral diseases, causing unpleasant symptoms such as rashes on the skin and mucous membranes, as well as constant recurrences of infections. A viral disease caused by herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2), can affect different parts of the body, including the face, lips and genitals. It is important to understand that herpes is a chronic disease and remains in the human body for life, causes not only physical discomfort, but can also have serious consequences for the immune system, cause if its spread is not controlled.

But science does not stand still, and to fight herpes, scientists are finding new effective treatment methods that not only reduce symptoms, but also strengthen immunity, minimizing side effects. One of these methods is the use of medicinal mushrooms, Such as Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum) and Shiitake (Lentinus Edodes). They contain powerful biologically active compounds that can help the body fight viral infections.

How do Reishi and Shiitake fight herpes?

Studies have shown that the active components of Reishi and Shiitake can significantly enhance the body's immune protection and reduce viruses, including herpes.

Reishi contains polysaccharides, including β-glucan, triterpenes and other active compounds that have antiviral properties. These components have a powerful antiviral effect that can inhibit viruses and stimulate the body's immune response.Reishi boosts immunity by activating immune system cells such as T-lymphocytes and NK cells, and reishi polysaccharides help activate macrophages and natural killer cells, helping the body fight infection at the cellular level.In addition, they have the ability to reduce oxidative stress, inflammation and promote damaged tissues.(Journal of Ethnopharmacology, "Antiviral activities of various water and methanol soluble substances isolated from Ganoderma lucidum", South Korea, 1999), (Molecules, "Medicinal Fungi with Antiviral Effect", China, 2022).

Shiitake has a powerful antiviral, antibacterial and immunostimulatory properties due to the content of polysaccharides, such as β-glucan, lenetate, triterpens, etc. Lentinan helps to increase the activity of the immune system, and beta-glucanas help to reduce virus replication.They act by blocking the viral enzymes necessary for the reproduction of the virus and reduce its ability to penetrate cells, reduce the intensity of the infection and speed up the recovery process. Shiitake extract can activate the immune response through the type I interferon pathway, which helps to strengthen the defense against infections.In addition, shiitake is able to reduce the level of inflammation, which is important for reducing the painful symptoms of herpes, such as swelling and redness. (Molecules, “Medicinal Fungi with Antiviral Effect”, China, 2022)

Studies show that polysaccharides and triterpenes contained in these fungi reduce the ability of the virus to multiply in cells, thereby reducing the duration of infection and reducing the risk of recurrence.

The use of Reishi and Shiitake mushrooms can be an important element for the prevention and treatment of herpes, as well as for strengthening the immune system. They not only effectively fight viruses, but also maintain overall health.These mushrooms are safe for long -term use because they do not have significant side effects
