Ganoderma Lucidum

It's a special type of mushroom with various beneficial properties is still almost unknown. It does not grow easily and must be cultivated in a specific biological habitat near China where even today there are real breeding farms of this particular mushroom.

Its name is Ganoderma Lucidum, but it is also known as Reishi (Japanese name) and has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine.

Even though the therapeutic use of the mushroom is unknown, some doctors still consider Ganoderma Lucidum the best one in terms of medical treatment because of its benefits on the cardiovascular system, the central nervous system, the empathic function, and the immune system.

The powerful antioxidant action is, along with immune system strengthener, a unique therapeutic element that can be very effective as a supplement during cancer therapies, preventing tumours from going towards metastatic forms. Dr. Prandelli believes that this fungus does not have substantial side effects, which is why this mushroom is very effective in many cases with the changing dosage according to person, pathology, and the duration of the Reishi therapy itself.

The properties of the Reishi are as follows:

1. Mineral salts: Iron, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Magnesium, Potassium, Calcium, Germanium.
2. Vitamin B.
3. 17 amino acids including all essentials.
4. Polysaccharides consisting of glucose, galactose, mannose with traces of xylose and fucose.
5. Steroids hormonal precursors.
6. Substances with anti-histamine activity.
7. Adenosine.
8. Triterpenes.
9. Lucidic acid.
10. Ganodermic acid and Genolucido acid.

History of Ganoderma Mushroom

In Chinese, the name lingzhi represents a combination of spiritual potency and essence of immortality recognised as the “herb of spiritual potency,” symbolising success, well-being, divine power, and longevity.

Lingzhi has been recognised as a medicinal mushroom for over 2000 years, and its powerful effects documented in ancient scripts. The increase of G. Lucidum images in art began in 1400 AD, and they are associated with Taoism. However, G. Lucidum images extended beyond religion and appeared in paintings, carvings, furniture, and even women’s accessories. The first book entirely devoted to the description of herbs and their medicinal values was "Shennong Ben Cao Jing," written in the Eastern Han dynasty of China (25-220 AD). This book is also known as “Classic of the Materia Medica” or “Shennong's Herbal Classics.” It describes botanical, zoological and mineral substances, composed in the second century under the pseudonym of Shen-nong (“the holy farmer”). The book, which was continually updated and extended, describes the beneficial effects of several mushrooms with a reference to the Ganoderma Lucidum. The mushroom was attributed with therapeutic properties, such as toning effects, enhancing vital energy, strengthening cardiac function, increasing memory, and anti-age effects due to its adaptogen property.

A variety of commercial G. Lucidum products are available in various forms, such as powders, dietary supplements, and tea. These are produced from different parts of the mushroom, including mycelia, spores, and fruit body. The specific applications and attributed health benefits of Lingzhi include control of blood glucose levels, modulation of the immune system, bacteriostasis, and more.

Ganoderma Oregano Drinks

I have been drinking the Gourmet Black Coffee for a year now, and I can definitely tell the positive effects on my body, such as the improved quality of my night sleep level and of concentration and energy.

Very easy to prepare, simply adding milk or water and the powder is preservatives free. You can drink it in the morning as well as in the afternoon, due to low caffeine content. Another very effective drink I hardly recommend is the King of Coffee which comes in the red box.

The product range is easily found at eganowholesale.com.
