Turkey tail has been used for thousands of years by the Chinese as well as by Native Americans. The herb’s name in Japanese translates as “Cloud Mushroom,” a reference to the mushroom’s appearance and ability to promote health, longevity, and enlightenment. It is an adaptogenic herb full of a variety of powerful antioxidants. Turkey tail is now commonly used as an anticancer agent in conjunction with surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapies. Turkey tail also contains prebiotics that help maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in your gut, further supporting your immune system’s ability to function properly.
