Learn about the amazing benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms for immunity 🍄‍🟫

Reishi, Shiitake, Turkey tail, Maitake mushrooms have been well-known for their immune-boosting properties, which enhance the body's natural defense against pathogens.

These mushrooms contain bioactive compounds like beta-glucans, which interact with immune cells to accelerate healing. Thus, medicinal mushrooms can be super beneficial when there’s an infection, injury or inflammation.

Additionally, certain types of mushrooms may help regulate the immune system, particularly in situations where immune responses are overactive such as autoimmunity.

Consult your naturopath to explore the healing potential of medicinal mushrooms 🌿 They can help support balance and harmony within your body’s natural systems.

5 Facts about Vaginal Health

1. 🌸 The vagina is self-cleaning
• It naturally maintains its own balance through beneficial bacteria (mainly Lactobacillus).
• These bacteria keep the pH slightly acidic (around 3.8–4.5) to prevent infections.
• Douching or using harsh soaps disrupts this balance and can cause irritation or infections.

⸻

2. ⚖️ pH balance is key
• A healthy vaginal pH protects against yeast and bacterial overgrowth.
• pH can become imbalanced due to antibiotics, hormonal changes (e.g. during menstruation or menopause), unprotected sex, or scented hygiene products.

⸻

3. 🦠 Discharge is normal — and informative
• Clear or milky-white discharge with a mild scent is healthy and shows your body is maintaining balance.
• Changes in color, texture, or odor can indicate infection (like BV or yeast) or hormonal shifts.

⸻

4. 🌿 Lifestyle impacts vaginal health
• Diet, hydration, stress, and sleep all affect hormonal and microbial balance.
• Probiotic-rich foods (yogurt, kimchi, miso) and adequate hydration help support healthy vaginal flora.
• Tight or synthetic underwear can trap moisture and promote infections — breathable cotton is best.

⸻

5. 💗 Hormones shape vaginal health across life stages
• Estrogen keeps vaginal tissues thick, elastic, and well-lubricated.
• During perimenopause or menopause, lower estrogen can cause dryness, irritation, or pH changes — often improved with hydration, herbs, or natural lubricants.

Vitamin C boosts mood, but kiwi fruit is the real game-changer 🥝

Vitamin C supports the production of mood regulating brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin as well as protecting brain from oxidative stress. Thus, it is crucial for mood regulation.

Research shows both vitamin C and kiwifruit improved mood in individuals with low vitamin status, but only kiwifruit helped them truly flourish (Fletcher, Haszard et al., 2024).

Wholefood sources like kiwifruit might just be the way to go for better mood benefits ✨

Hormone regulation mix🌿
This blend is to support blood sugar regulation and liver function. Supporting blood sugar levels can have a significant impact on your energy, mood and overall hormonal health💛

🌿 Herbs That Support Blood Sugar Balance 🌿
Nature has powerful allies when it comes to supporting healthy glucose levels. Here are five herbs I love for gentle, effective blood sugar support:

✨ Goat’s Rue – Traditionally used to promote insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Fun fact: it inspired the creation of the pharmaceutical metformin!

🌼 Dandelion Root – A liver-loving bitter that supports detox and helps the body regulate blood sugar more efficiently.

💜 St Mary’s Thistle (Milk Thistle) – Protects and regenerates the liver, a key organ in glucose storage and balance.

🍂 Cinnamon – Warming and sweet, it helps improve insulin sensitivity and may reduce fasting blood sugar levels.

🌱 Celery Seed – A lesser-known gem that supports circulation, reduces inflammation, and aids metabolic health.

These herbs work beautifully alone or in synergy. Always consult a qualified practitioner before starting new herbs—especially if you’re on medication.

🧪 Supporting your blood sugar naturally starts with plant wisdom 🌿💫
