A product containing oyster mushroom, called Tendon-easing powder, is effective in the treatment of lumbago, numbed limbs, and tendon and blood vessel discomfort.In the Czech Republic, extracts have been made from the fruiting bodies as the main ingredient in dietary preparations recommended for prevention of high cholesterol (Opletal, 1993).
