Ganoderma Lucidum

Ganoderma Lucidum occurs in six different colors, but the red variety is most commonly used and commercially cultivated in North America, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. Ganoderma Lucidum is one of the most beautiful mushrooms in the world. When very young its varnished surface is Chinese red, bright yellow, and white (see the bottom illustrations). Later the white and yellow shades disappear, but the resulting varnished, reddish to reddish brown surface is still quite beautiful and distinctive. While Ganoderma Lucidum is annual and does not actually grow more each year like some polypore, its fruiting body is quite tough and can last for months. This magical mushroom is also known as Reishi or Ling zhi which means "herb of spiritual potency"

 

Ganoderma Extract or Grinding

Some companies grind the Ganoderma into a powder form while other companies use far more advanced methods to extract the prized Ganoderma. Extraction concentration can be as high as 100 to 1. One of the more advanced methods combines 1000 kg of this fungus to only 1kg, after extracting.

The book, which is known in Japan as "Shinnoh Honsohkyo", is now accepted as being the original textbook of Oriental medical science. In it, 365 kinds of medicines are classified and explained. The medicines are basically classified into 3 categories: 120 of them are declared to be "superior" medicines, another 120 are classified as "average" medicines, and the remaining 125 are placed in the "fair" category. The "superior" medicines are called "God's Herbs" and they are for perpetual youth and longevity - the medicines of the legendary wizards. Of the superior medicines listed in the text, reishi was rated number one.

The "average" category medicines are those which can be taken as a tonic, and those in the "fair" category are taken to remedy specific ailments. One must be careful about the volume taken of the "average" and "fair" category medicines, and should never take them continuously. However, the book states that for "superior" medicines, any amount can be taken as desired on a continuous basis with no unfavorable effects. Ganoderma which has been described as "The King of Herbs" has been shrouded in mystery and secrecy. Ganoderma is described as the Celestial Herb, because it does not have any side effects irrespective of dosage and long term usage. This elixir was the cure all for any and every illness in the medical practices of the orient. It also was know for its anti-aging properties and perhaps is the secret of oriental health and longevity. Modern Western science has now identified over 280 active ingredients that have healing medicinal properties.
