The immune boosting qualities of Funtumia (Yamoa™)capsules

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2749908/#S18

The above link is to a scientific medical study.

This study looked at a natural supplement called Yamoa™, made from the bark of the Funtumia elastica tree, which has traditionally been used to help with asthma and allergies. Researchers wanted to see if it could boost the immune system.

They found that Yamoa™ and a special sugar compound from it (called Yam-I) could activate certain immune cells (γδ T cells), which help the body fight infections. It worked even better than a well-known immune booster (LPS).

In tests with mice, injecting Yam-I attracted immune cells to the infection site, helping the body fight bacteria. This effect happened even in mice missing key immune receptors, meaning Yam-I works through a different immune pathway than usual treatments.

When mice with a gut infection were treated with Yam-I, their bacterial levels dropped, showing that it helped their immune system clear the infection faster.

The results suggest that Yamoa™ could be a natural way to strengthen the immune system, which might explain why people have used it for respiratory issues.

Funtumia Elastica Powder aka Yamoa™

I don’t normally believe in “miracle cures,” but after 2020, my asthma went from being an occasional nuisance to something that required me to carry my inhaler everywhere and use it daily. Up until a month ago (February 2025), I was using my inhaler multiple times a day, relying on a nebulizer before bed, and sometimes even waking up in the middle of the night needing a breathing treatment. To be honest, I was becoming increasingly worried about how rapidly my asthma was progressing.

I had tried several herbal remedies—mullein, New England aster, lobelia—but none of them worked. Then, in January 2025, while selling mushrooms at a market, I had to use my mobile nebulizer. A woman walked up to me and said, “I know how to cure your asthma.” Skeptical, I replied, “Yeah, sure—I’ve heard it all. But if you have something new, I’m open to trying it.”

Well, she did have something new. She told me about a traditional African medicine called Yamoa™, made from the bark of the Funtumia elastica tree, a rubber tree native to Africa. The bark is dried, ground into a powder, and taken orally, either in capsule form or mixed into food. The name Yamoa™ is trademarked by a company in the UK, so I can’t sell it under that name—but I can tell you one thing: it worked.

Within just a couple of weeks of taking this medicine, I went from using my inhaler daily (along with nightly breathing treatments) to needing my inhaler only once in the past few weeks. In my research, I’ve found many people who claim this medicine helped their asthma, though none seemed to have had it as severely as I did. Yet, in just one short month, it has made a night-and-day difference for me.

Of course, asthma varies from person to person, and I can’t guarantee this will work for everyone. But I can say with certainty—it’s worth a try. I’m now purchasing the powder in bulk and making my own capsules. If you’d like to purchase some, you can. My hope is not to create repeat customers, but to help heal those who can be healed by this medicine.

Welcome to the new Herrera Homestead Website!

To be honest, I wasn’t too happy about having to make a move since I spent a good amount of time setting up our store. But Shopify decided they wanted to hold our money because they don’t like the address the post office gave us. I gave them every bit of proof possible and they still held our money. So I decided it was time to make a move. The good thing is, I will have more control over how the store looks. The bad news is I have to spend even more time figuring out a new platform. Please bear with us as we work out the kinks. We hope to continue being your go to mushroom/mushroom product provider!
