Hericium erinaceus, also known as Hericium erinaceus, is delicious and fragrant. Together with bear's paw, shark's fin and sea cucumber, it is also called "four famous dishes", also known as "Hericium erinaceus and seafood bird's nest".
Hericium erinaceus is not only a delicious food, but also a raw material for medicine. As an ingredient, it is a precious dish and a tribute of the royal family in Ming and Qing Dynasties. As a medicinal material, it is clearly recorded in the current drug standards of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Ministry of Health: "Hericium erinaceus tablets are processed from Hericium erinaceus, which have the effect of nourishing the stomach and harmonizing the middle warmer, and are used to treat gastric and duodenal ulcers and chronic gastritis."
Chinese medicine believes that Hericium erinaceus is flat and sweet, and has the effect of nourishing the stomach and calming the nerves. "Chinese Materia Medica" records that it strengthens the spleen and nourishes the stomach, calms the nerves and fights cancer. Modern medicine has proved that Hericium erinaceus has obvious curative effect on dyspepsia, gastric and duodenal ulcer, chronic gastritis and other stomach diseases. Hericium erinaceus is widely eaten in Japan, South Korea and other countries to prevent and treat stomach diseases.
Hericium erinaceus nourishes the stomach, which not only conforms to science, but also inherits folk customs. It is the crystallization of the Millennium wisdom of the Chinese nation and the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine. Helicobacter pylori infection is the main pathogenic factor of chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and gastric cancer. Infection with Helicobacter pylori can lead to chronic gastritis and gastrointestinal ulcer. A large number of studies show that more than 90% of duodenal ulcers and about 80% of gastric ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori infection.
Modern research results also show that the mycelium, fermentation broth and fruiting body of Hericium erinaceus can inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori in vitro.
