    Plants-based Medicine | We're all about the Mushrooms

    (WARNING: These are not ‘magic’…or are they?)

    If you’re loving a daily Matcha or Tumeric latte (or even if you’re not?) then say hello to another one of Mother Nature’s marvellous, mysterious gifts coming soon to a KeepCup near you…medicinal mushrooms! Perfect in a coffee or hot cacao, you’ll never look at fungi in the same way.

    What is a Medicinal Mushroom: 

    If you’ve been to see a naturopath or Dr in Traditional Chinese Medicine in recent years, you will probably have become accustomed to a wide variety of weird and wonderful herbs and their signature ‘flavour’ reminiscent of earth and dirt (if they taste that bad they must be good for you right?).

    Medicinal mushrooms have been around growing in decaying woods (marinating, clearly) and living trees for hundreds of years, they go far beyond the familiar brown, button, and Portobello and are powerhouse adaptogens, supporting your immune system and levelling out your hormones.


    What the buck’ is medicinal & adaptogen…
