TheRoselle vital mushroom is a very old mushroom whose medicinal effects have been known for over 2,000 years. It was called "silver mushroom" or "snow mushroom" and was not much used as a food because it was rare and also expensive. The genus Tremella includes more than 40 species. Many of them were used in traditional medicines in Vietnam, China, Russia, Japan and Korea.

It is widespread in temperate zones, subtropics and tropics around the world. It grows in swampy places on dead branches and stumps of mainly oaks, beeches and birches. It also occurs in our country. It is a parasitic yeast and grows as a slime-like film until it encounters its preferred hosts, various species of fungi. These it then attacks and triggers the aggressive mycelial growth (mycelium) needed to produce the fruiting bodies. The Judas ear-like (Auricularii) fruiting bodies are gelatinous, watery white up to 7.5 cm in size and respond to humidity. The consistency is gelatinous when wet, cartilaginous when wet and horn-like when dry.

The mushroom is popular in the kitchen and is often included in children's snacks and even ice creams. It supports the digestive system, which has traditionally been used for childhood ailments and for strengthening after illness. It is a popular ingredient in cosmetics for its skin-softening properties.

Tremella was first described in the West in 1856 by the English mycologist Miles Joseph Berkeley.

When do we use the vital Rosemary mushroom to maintain or improve health?

1) Strengthening digestion and blood

• Replenishes Spleen Qi - meaning it improves digestion (conversion of food to Qi and blood)
• Supports the Stomach and moistens dryness - soothes and strengthens the stomach lining
• Strengthens digestion by supporting the Spleen and Stomach. This improves the production of Qi and blood.
• Rosemary is traditionally given to children to support growth and for asthenia with a tendency to dry cough. It has an effect on children's growth and is also part of the Restore Basis Blend.

2) Nourishes Yin Lung and moistens dryness

• Nourishes the Yin Lung - thereby improving breathing and the use of oxygen from the air
• Moisturizes dryness - moisturizes the lining of the lungs and also the stomach
• used for: dry cough, wheezing, blood in expectorated sputum...
• Due to its ability to strengthen digestion, blood and Yin Plic, Rosemary promotes the production of blood fluids. This is mainly used in exhaustion associated with dryness of the mucous membranes.

3) Stops vomiting

• By nourishing the Yin Plic (and Stomach), it promotes sinking - thus reducing nausea and stopping vomiting, the so-called "counter current Qi"
• this is used to strengthen after illness when inappetence and nausea are present

Notes:

In the human body, the Spleen and Kidney organs are responsible for raising Qi. The Lungs and Stomach are responsible for lowering Qi. When either organ is weakened, it will cause an imbalance in the mechanism of Qi rising and falling. Excessive fall causes diarrhea or bleeding, excessive rise causes coughing and vomiting.

4) Stops bleeding

• This is bleeding from the emptiness of the Spleen Qi. By strengthening the Spleen, it will improve the Spleen's ability to control blood.
• Rosemary also increases the elasticity of the blood vessel walls. The same effect is used in cosmetics.

Remark:

Keeping the blood in the blood vessels is the responsibility of the Spleen. This is done through tiny muscles along the blood vessels. The Spleen controls the muscles and when its Qi is strong, blood flows in the blood vessels and does not spill out.

5) Stops diarrhea

• By strengthening the Spleen Qi, the transport function of the Spleen is improved

Remark:

Spleen generates Qi from food and sends it upwards. In the chest, Qi from the air is mixed into it to form blood. Impure Qi falls, assisted by the Lungs and Stomach. When the Spleen and Lungs are weakened, the Qi transport mechanism is disturbed, excessive descent and diarrhea occur.

6) Strengthens the immune system

• Strengthens innate immunity - increases the activity of macrophages, which destroy bacteria and damaged cells in the body

7) Support in cancer treatment

• Reduces the incidence of unwanted side effects and mitigates the impact of conventional treatments
• can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments (chemotherapy, radiology, biologics)
• contains four polysaccharides called heteroglycans, which restore white blood cell production
• used for: cervical and digestive cancers

8) Strengthens brain function

• Promotes memory - by strengthening Qi and blood, it improves memory
• Rosemary reduces beta-amyloid, a protein found in the brain that is associated with the development of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Notes:

Sundew strengthens Qi, blood and body fluids. It prevents "drying out" of the brain and bone marrow in old age. It is also used for babies after premature birth, especially if some of the "patera delays" appear. This is delayed: standing, walking, tooth growth, speech development and late fontanelle closure.

9) Diabetes

• lowers blood sugar levels
• Contains glucuronoxylomannan, which induces insulin production and speeds up glucose metabolism

10) Anti aging effect

• Smoothes wrinkles and moisturizes the skin
• Contains high levels of antioxidants

Notes:

Sundew can bind up to 500 times more water in itself than it weighs. This is due to its hyaluronic acid (AHA) content, which is also found in Auricularia. AHA production in humans decreases with age. In addition to the skin, AHA ensures that other mucous membranes, including organs, maintain proper moisture.

Less common use of Roselle in clinical practice:

• Antioxidant effects
• anorexia
• neurasthenia
• lowers cholesterol
• cardiac tachycardia
• cures hepatitis
• delays aging

What to remember:

Rosemary strengthens digestion, blood and body fluids. It helps after illness, delay in children, emaciation and dry cough.
