Both. The same applies to other medicinal mushrooms.

 

Many meats, fish, plants (roots, leaves, flowers, bulbs, fruits, veg,

fungi, etc) and spices are used in cooking as well as in medicine.

 

Chinese / Ayuevedic Dietetics, a specialist branch of Chinese /

Ayurvedic herbal medicine, has a great role to play in designing

recipes for healthy living (general tonics and Shen-Calmers, etc) as

well as addressing specific health needs.

 

For elderly men with KI Yangxu, regular eating of soups and stews

with venison, lamb kidney, oyster / lobster, + Ginseng can be both

tasty and feisty! See: http://tinyurl.com/2uzfktm
