6. Treat Strokes

Another possible application of lion’s mane mushroom is in the treatment of strokes. A stroke develops when there is a blockage in the brain that prevents the flow of oxygen and nutrients. A study investigating the mushroom's effect on animals showed they helped reduce the damage from strokes by almost 50 percent. If these applications can be extended to people, it might change how doctors treat strokes.
