Known as the "Miraculous King of Herbs", Ganoderma (also known as Lingzhi in China; Reishi in Japan and Youngchi in Korea) is listed as a Superior Herb in Sheng Nong's Pharmacopeia, an ancient Chinese Herbal Text dating back over 2,000 years.</span></span></span><br />
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">For thousands of years, Ganoderma Lucidum (the Red Mushroom), a kind of medicinal fungi, has been highly regarded by the Chinese as the "Miraculous King of Herbs." Ganoderma is said to be able to improve the body's healing ability, maintain a healthy body and promote longevity. Under the attentive research done by domestic and foreign scholars in recent years, as well as the cooperative analysis and clinical experiments done by hospitals, colleges and pharmaceutical manufacturers, Ganoderma has shown to have the ability to help and strengthen the body function more effectively and efficiently.</span></span> </div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="color: blue;"> <span style="color: yellow;">What is so special about Ganoderma?</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">Among many types of mushroom, only Ganoderma was highly praised for more than 2000 years. What makes it stands out from the other fungi? What are the beneficial active components found in Ganoderma that make it so precious?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"> Ganoderma is from the Mycetes kingdom. These are generally short and tiny fungi unable to produce their own nutrient through photosynthesis like green plants. They can either Earth breed or lead a parasitic life by surviving on nutrients of other plants and animals.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"> Within the Mycetes kingdom, Basidiomycetes such as Ganoderma Lucidum and mushroom are the superior grade. Many are edible and have excellent healing properties. These fungi naturally become the more precious medicinal herb in the Basidiomycetes kingdom.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><object height="364" width="445"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/g_kJ7A46zsA&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/g_kJ7A46zsA&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br />
<div style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">The unique of Ganoderma</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"> Ganoderma Lucidum is the only fungus with an unusual combination of beneficial components such as:</span></div><ul style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 85%;">Polysaccharides</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 85%;">Organic Germanium</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 85%;">Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 85%;">Triterpenes</span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"> Other mushroom family may contain one or the other active components. However, Ganoderma contains all of those in significant concentration. So what are the healing effects of those substances in your body?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"> Modern researches on Ganoderma Lucidum successfully extracted each component to test its healing effects. Scientists found that these active components can:</span></div><ul style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 85%;">enhance immune system and improve cancer</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 85%;">neutralize toxics in the body</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 85%;">reduce free radicals to slow down aging</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 85%;">remove circulation blockage</span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"> In fact, these health benefits were recorded in ancient China medical text more than 2000 years ago. This herb is grouped into 6 main categories. And the Red Reishi, or Ganoderma Lucidum is currently the most popular because of its high medicinal values.</span></div>Isabelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15743073103174054770noreply@blogger.com0
