What is mean by Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus (sputum) production and wheezing. It's typically caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. People with COPD are at increased risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer and a variety of other conditions.
Although COPD is a progressive disease that gets worse over time, COPD is treatable. With proper management, most people with COPD can achieve good symptom control and quality of life, as well as reduced risk of other associated conditions.
Which mushrooms can help with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
Cordyceps sinensis is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that has been used for centuries in Asia as a tonic to soothe the lung for the treatment of respiratory diseases.
According to Yang, L., Jiao, X., Wu, J., Zhao, J., Liu, T., Xu, J., Ma, X., Cao, L., Liu, L., Liu, Y., Chi, J., Zou, M., Li, S., Xu, J., & Dong, L. (2018). Cordyceps sinensis inhibits airway remodeling in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 15(3), 2731–2738. https://doi.org/10.3892/etm.2018.5777
C. sinensis attenuated airway remodeling in rats with COPD by inhibiting airway inflammation and the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway. These findings suggest C. sinensis may be a useful approach for COPD therapy.
