Product Information*
Use
Although Maitake was never used in Traditional Chinese or Japanese
Medicine, the discovery of the ability to cultivate Maitake in an
artifical setting has spurred interest in it's possible benefit
as a medicinal mushroom, (Maitake Fraction).
Use 2-4 grams daily prepared as a tea. The daily amount, taken
as tea, should be split between morning and evening.
The dried mushroom can easily be ground to a powder in a coffee
grinder, or can be purchased already ground (please specify in order).
Bring the tea to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. For maximum
benefit you can simmer the tea from 2-4 hours, although a fairly
strong tea can be made in 20-30 minutes. The grounds can be re-heated
with benefit, discard the grounds when they no longer produce color
in the tea.
Filter the tea through a coffee filter before drinking. As mentioned
the grounds can be re-used as long as they produce color in the
tea. Any un-used portion of the tea can be refrigerated and used
up to two days later. Shake the stored tea before using it.
