Although the hoelen mushroom is typically seen as a source of nutrition, it is actually a very beneficial element in natural medicine. It is found all over the world, growing underground along roots of various trees. A typical hoelen mushroom can reach fifteen to twenty pounds in weight, and is a good way to meet the daily amount of potassium. Also known as Tuckahoe bread, this herb is able to treat particular health issues.

Glomerulonephritis is an autoimmune condition that causes the body to accumulate harmful antibodies that attack its own tissues. These can collect within in the kidney, obstructing the organ and preventing it from preserving products that are essential to the body. Should this continue, proteins risk seeping out into the urine and can result in kidney failure. The pachyman found in hoelen is able to prevent this dangerous process through stopping the antibodies from gathering inside the kidney. Not only can it treat this issue, but after a few weeks of use hoelen becomes a perfectly acceptable replacement for the steroids usually prescribed. Steroids have many side effects that hoelen would never produce. These include fatigue, puffiness, increased weight and changes in behavior.

The hoelen mushroom is also a beneficial way to treat lupus. The compound called poriatrin stops any production of the formally mentioned antibodies. Furthermore, it also prevents the forming of chemical messengers. These messengers are cytokines, which causes immune cells to attack tissues, interleukins and tumor necrosis factor. All these functions allow for the relief of lupus symptoms.

Other benefits of using hoelen include antibacterial properties, being an effective diuretic, lowering blood sugar and controlling stomach acid.

Of course, dried and fresh hoelen is perfectly acceptable to be used in one’s daily diet, but it can also be made into a tea. The benefits regarding chronic ailments of this amazing herb may take time to appear, so give hoelen a fair three to four months to take its full effect. The only proven negative result of hoelen use is the possibility of an allergic reaction, which can cause hives or upset stomach.
