From pregnancy to childbirth: Medicinal Mushrooms for female fertility

Pregnancy marks a very important moment in a woman's life, encompassing the journey from yearning for a child to the miraculous moment of birth. Like all profound aspirations, it brings a blend of happiness and anxieties.

Among the concerns that often arise is the challenge of conception, which may give way to apprehension about nurturing the developing life within.

Such is the natural cycle of life: while children are born, parents must grow into their role, guided not only by instruction manuals but also by the vast realm of physiological and emotional experience.

Many women turn to us at this stage of life. There are many questions that we want to answer today, because yes: Medicinal Mushrooms are a useful and effective ally for female fertility, from the moment of conception to breastfeeding. Medicinal Mushrooms are useful and effective at every stage of life. In particular, we extend our focus to all mothers: expectant mothers and their unborn babies, those aspiring to motherhood, and couples yearning to become parents.

Do Medicinal Mushrooms facilitate conception?

Data reveals that approximately one in five couples faces challenges when attempting to conceive. The journey towards pregnancy can be far from straightforward, with the inability to conceive even after a year of trying. Such difficulties can arise from diverse causes, often involving hormonal imbalances of physiological or psychosomatic nature in at least one of the partners.

Mycotherapy proves to be very effective and useful, restoring the balance and correct functioning of the organism, facilitating fertility.

Medicinal Mushrooms that promote fertility and conception

The Medicinal Mushrooms most suitable for those who struggle to get pregnant are:

• Cordyceps: thanks to its richness in a unique substance in nature, called Cordycepina, it stimulates the ovaries in women, exactly as the pituitary does, it normalizes hormone levels and increases the oxygenation of the sexual system; in men, on the other hand, it favors the production of testosterone, increases sexual vigor, improves semen quality and takes care of the health of the reproductive system.
• Reishi: increases the production of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, the sensitivity of the genital system to the action of these hormones, blood circulation and energy in the sexual system. For all these reasons, in synergy with Cordyceps, it proves to be a great ally of female fertility, as well as sexual life in general.

Through both experimental and clinical research on patients, researchers have demonstrated that the administration of Reishi and of Cordyceps has improved fertility in both women and men.
So, the Medicinal Mushrooms Reishi and Cordyceps increase hormones in a balanced way if they are lacking, promoting fertility and conception. They promote the correct functioning of both the male and female sexual systems.

Furthermore, Reishi and Cordyceps help libido and increase energy, promoting intimate relationships. In addition, they perform many useful functions for fertility and general health.
In women they fight menstrual irregularities, which often make fertilization difficult.

Now that I'm pregnant, can I take Medicinal Mushrooms?

This is a question we are often asked.
Medicinal Mushrooms support the entire pregnancy in every phase and, as mentioned above, Reishi and Cordyceps are the most suitable. These two Medicinal Mushrooms support the woman's body during this wonderful stage of life, in an absolutely natural and safe way. In the East, Mycotherapy is used to improve the physical and mental resources of the female body, to give nourishment and support to the new life that grows in the womb, providing well-being and health to both the mother and the unborn child.

Many women who use Medicinal Mushrooms for other reasons, often ask us this question: “Doctor, I am pregnant / I am trying for a baby / I am breastfeeding, can I continue taking Medicinal Mushrooms?” The answer is always YES.
As a precaution, we advise against taking Auricularia only in one case and now I'll explain why.

Medicinal Mushrooms are compatible with and assist pregnancy.
The only Medicinal Mushroom not recommended during pregnancy (just as a precaution) is Auricularia, due to its muscle-relaxing properties, which, during pregnancy, could potentially excessively relax the uterine muscles that require tonicity and optimal support throughout gestation. Nevertheless, Auricularia remains an effective Medicinal Mushroom for managing stress and gently relaxing contracted muscles, making it suitable for use in various stages of life, excluding the nine months of pregnancy.

All other Mushrooms Medicines, on the other hand, are also indicated during pregnancy, both for the mother and for the unborn child.
