Here is the most complete work on the cultural, health-promoting, and medicinal uses of mushrooms ever published! LEARN HOW MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS CAN:--Help prevent & treat cancer --Strengthen immune function --Benefit people with HIV/AIDS--Nourish eyes & digestion--Assist people with heart disease--Heal skin ailments PRAISE FOR MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS:For the Western herbalist, the subject of medicinal mushrooms has remained an arcane purview relegated to history, or if in a modern context, to relatively obscure references — mostly in Asian languages. Christopher Hobbs has opened new vistas in Western herbal literature, by providing a comprehensive, accessible, and scientifically accurate portrayal of the medicinal value of fungi. Medicinal Mushrooms is a portal into a fascinating, often neglected world.” — Steven Foster Having enjoyed Christopher’ excellent books on the higher plants, I take pleasure in stooping to the fungi to read his fact-loaded treatise on those ‘lower’ ‘plants’ we call mushrooms, Medicinal Mushrooms will no doubt be the important source book for those of us interested in edible and medicinal mushrooms.— Jim Duke Some Book Reviews:5/5 stars - An invaluable resource for any mushroom enthusiast!I originally heard about this book when seeing it appear in the bibliographies of other materials pertaining to edible and medicinal fungi. My intrigue lead me to purchase this book directly and read it cover to cover within a few days. Being someone who is studying holistic/traditional medicine with a scientific background, I was pleasantly surprised to come across this gem. I was shocked to see that there are only five reviews for this book as of the time I am writing this one. Perhaps it is not as widely known as I thought it might be. It is rare to come across a piece of literature that seamlessly combines modern, cutting-edge scientific data on the biochemistry and medicinal actions of fungi with traditional knowledge gathered over the ages. Hobbs not only manages to do this consistently in this work, but he does so with keen enthusiasm and informative finesse. This book is accessible to a wide range of audiences and there is something in it for anyone that has a relationship or curiosity with medicinal mushrooms. For these reasons I highly recommend it.--Orion 5/5 stars - Great Information!Super informative and easy to follow. I want to share this book with everyone I know! This information should be known by all humans! Thank you Mr. Hobbs.--Gina 5/5 stars - A Necessary Addition!Mushrooms have always been something I've put on pizza or added to my vegetarian stir-fry. I'm an herbalist and mainly use whatever I can grow or purchase locally. Since I cannot grow mushrooms in Florida, I've ignored them over the years. I specifically was looking for one type that helps thyroid and arthritis so purchased this book for my kindle fire hd. I was really worried that the illustrations would be impossible, but they are surprisingly good. Also, navigation between the chapters for referencing is so simple. I would much rather use my kindle but until now have been wary of using it for non-fiction books. So I not only bought an excellent book about medical mushrooms, but I have also learned that the kindle fire will handle it beautifully. The book includes information about Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine usage, nutrition, scientific research and monographs on the various medicinal fungi. Finally, the affordable price adds to my recommendation of this book. As always, look inside before buying.--Clarissa Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc.
