Scientific Data has shown a strong mushroom-immunology link. Immunological reactions have also been noted as linked to hypertension. Is any research underway on the mushroom-blood pressure link?
Please follow the below link for the immunological response and BP lowering effect observed in cardiovascular patients when consuming Reishi/Psathyrella Mushrooms. I hope future research might produce potential therapeutic applications.
