The comb mushroom (another name for lion's mane) is a large mushroom that looks like the mane of an albino lion. This is a mushroom from the Gericiaceae family, so it is often also called Hericius. The mushroom has a beneficial effect on the human body, therefore it is used both in cooking and in pharmacology and cosmetology. It is especially popular in Asian countries. The taste of hedgehog is reminiscent of seafood.
The benefits of preparations from the comb manger can be varied.
Paul Stamets, a renowned American mycologist and passionate proponent of the use of mushrooms in medicine and nutrition, praises the blackberry for its medicinal properties. Stamets emphasizes that blackberry is an excellent source of protein, B vitamins and antioxidants. Blackberry contains polysaccharides that can stimulate the immune system, helping the body fight infections. Stamets points to blackberry's anti-inflammatory effects, which may be helpful in reducing the risk of chronic disease. The high fiber content of the mushroom promotes digestive health.
Thanks to its rich composition of nutrients, the combed hedgehog is able to increase immunity, protect cells from damage, promotes a general increase in the body’s energy, and is a powerful antioxidant.
Here are some aspects of the antioxidant properties of this mushroom. Blackberry contains antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, which can bind free radicals and protect cells from their negative effects. This can help prevent oxidative damage to tissues and organs. Antioxidants help keep your skin healthy, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and improve its overall appearance. They help protect against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation and other external factors. Antioxidants help reduce “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and protect blood vessels from damage. This has a positive effect on heart health and prevents the development of cardiovascular diseases. Antioxidants protect DNA cells from oxidative damage, which helps prevent mutations and the development of cancer.
The crested hedgehog stops the growth of cancer cells already in the early stages of the disease. Contains beta-glucan, which protects the body from the effects of chemotherapy and promotes further destruction of cancer cells. Removes toxins, normalizes the functioning of the liver, kidneys, blood count and hemoglobin level. Contains potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphates and 19 free amino acids (except methionine and tryptophan), i.e. the vast majority of essential amino acids. Positively affects the respiratory system.
Blackberry - a natural nootropic
Also, Hedgehog comb can be classified as a natural nootropic - means that improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, concentration and mental performance. Nootropics accelerate metabolic processes in the brain and increase its resistance to adverse external factors. They influence metabolic and bioenergetic processes in nerve cells, which is manifested by the acceleration of nerve impulses in the central nervous system, improvement of metabolism in neurons, and improvement of the absorption of glucose (the main source of energy of the body) by nerve cells.
It has been proven that blackberry can improve memory, slow age-related cognitive decline, and even reduce the severity of depression.
If you:
- You have difficulty waking up in the morning and feel weak and lethargic during the day;
- You forget important events or tasks and have difficulty remembering them;
- Feeling stressed and burnt out;
- Do you often get sick, especially in the off-season, and can even suffer from a common cold for a long time?
So it’s time to get serious about strengthening your body. Make friends with a hedgehog and improve your physical and psychological well-being!
A doctor of the highest category, Tatyana Nikolaevna Plenova, talks in this video about the origin of the Hezhovik Comb mushroom, its biological and healing properties.
Blackberry helps eliminate cognitive impairment caused by long-term use of antidepressants. If you want to increase concentration, better perceive new information, adapt more easily to stressful situations and increase your productivity - order combed hedgehog in our online store of the Kyiv Center for Fungotherapy, Bioregulation and Ayurveda.
The combed hedgehog not only helps to avoid serious diseases associated with the brain, but also helps to learn faster.
Our memory, principles, patterns of behavior, the ability to use acquired experience - all this is tied to neurogenesis. Until the age of 12, we have accelerated neurogenesis, then until the age of 25, active neurogenesis occurs only in certain parts of the brain that we train. From 25 to 40 years of age, neurogenesis slows down and practically stops; after that, it is difficult to gain new experience; the challenge arises not to lose old experience. Blackberry increases neurogenesis.
Our brain produces a number of proteins on which the development of the body of neurons and its processes (axons and dendrites) depends. One of these proteins is NGF (nerve growth factor). The more of this protein, the denser the growth of neural connections. The NGF protein appears during the process of myelin repair. Speed of thinking and various impairments of intelligence and memory are associated with a decrease in myelin. Nature has not yet come up with anything better than the hedgehog for its restoration!
Neuron is the main cell of our brain. It has two types of processes: dendrites (receiving) and axons (transmitting impulses). Mediators (seratonin, dopamine, etc.) are formed in the axon, with the help of which impulse (information) is transmitted. A neuron has one axon, it is covered with a sheath of myelin. Axons are like wires, and myelin is the winding of these wires. The more myelin, the better the neurons transmit signals! With age, the myelin sheath becomes depleted, and the signals passing through the neurons begin to dissipate - thus a person loses memory.
Lack of myelin = dementia, Alzheimer's disease, sclerosis, poor memory, dementia and Parkinson's disease.
The combed hedgehog restores the brain
Blackberry contains two components that are not found anywhere else in nature: erinacins and hericenones. Both substances are able to nourish the brain bypassing the BBB and promote the production of myelin. As a result, the brain conducts signals better.
Blackberry is fuel for our brain - it accelerates neuroplasticity and neurogenesis - that is, it helps in learning, mastering skills and habits, in intellectual work and creativity.
With age, the number of neurons decreases, and our beloved hedgehog starts the reverse process! This is the only unique natural remedy known to mankind that can regenerate nervous tissue!
Blackberry has been scientifically proven to be extremely effective as a nootropic and its job responsibilities include:
- improvement of learning processes and assimilation of new information,
- stimulation of the creative process,
- restoration of smell after COVID-19,
- decreased feelings of anxiety,
- improving short-term and long-term memory,
- increased concentration and clarity of thoughts,
- reduction of age-related manifestations of dementia.
When you take hedgehog:
- focus of attention increases,
- you become more efficient,
- you finish your tasks easily,
- stimulate the immune system,
- have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract, intestinal microbiota,
- and grow your brain!
There are no absolute contraindications to the use of hedgehog grass! To make sure you have no intolerances or side effects, start your dosage with a quarter spoon of powder.
The only thing you can pay attention to is that the hedgehog has a choleretic function - if you have problems with the gallbladder, then the hedgehog, causing additional contraction of the gallbladder, can cause spasms in the right hypochondrium.
Take blackberry in the first half of the day, preferably before meals. If you take blackberry in the evening, it may be more difficult to fall asleep, since no one has canceled the stimulation of brain activity.
