The hope for the miracle and mystery of eastern civilization in recent years has made various drugs from China or Thailand very popular. Among them, the most famous lingzhi mushrooms, which are attributed to truly magical properties. Moreover, a certain therapeutic effect is noted even by skeptics and critics. And some positive effects are recognized even by traditional medicine. In the end, it is hardly reasonable to reject the development of healers and herbalists right away: it was thanks to them that mankind survived for many centuries, while science developed and accumulated knowledge, together with modern medicine.
What is lingzhi
The scientific name of the fungus is the varnished tinder. Among Korean and Chinese healers, he has been respected for millennia. The name "lingzhi" from Chinese is translated as "the plant of immortality." The Japanese also treated him with great respect and called it a mushroom of spiritual strength (“Reishi”). In nature, this tinder fungus is quite difficult to find - it is capricious to growing conditions. Therefore, the healers, who found its thickets, kept them in great secret: plantations where lingzhi mushrooms propagate became invaluable dowry and could provide a comfortable life for several generations. They cost more than gold of similar weight. And until 1972, until the secret of the greenhouse cultivation of the ganoderma was discovered, it was available only to very rich people. True, traditional healers do not really approve of the “artificial” lingzhi mushroom: their healing properties, they believe, are not gaining full strength due to certain restrictions on growing conditions. However, from a scientific point of view, the greenhouse tinder is no different from that grown in the wild.
What Reishi Heals
As the practice of eastern healers shows, the range of application of the ganoderma is very wide. Are you ready to trust Asian wisdom and try Lingzhi mushroom? Its medicinal properties are such that the plant can help in the following cases:
- Prevention and treatment of cancer. Its effect on benign tumors is even more successful.
- Normalization of cardiac activity. Lingzhi mushrooms are especially effective for angina pectoris and arrhythmias.
- A pronounced effect is observed with various pathologies of the lungs and bronchi.
- Explicit results are obtained by the treatment of viral and bacterial infections with ganoderma. Moreover, herpes, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis succumb to it - latent infections that official medicine recognizes as incurable.
- In the treatment of osteoporosis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis, polyarthritis, a lingzhi mushroom may also be useful. Reviews of people who have experienced the effects of this tool say that after a course of therapy the condition has improved, the symptoms have become less pronounced.
- The most pronounced properties of the fungus lingzhi in relation to allergic reactions. To combat allergies, this folk medicine is especially active and eager to use in Thailand.
- Lingzhi fungi also act on the nervous system. Oriental healers claim that tinder workers are able to eliminate migraines, which are recognized as incurable, significantly weaken and delay Alzheimer's disease, make the course of vegetovascular dystonia milder, help to eliminate depression, successfully fight manifestations of Parkinson's disease and normalize memory with age-related weakening.
A “side effect” of taking extracts from tinder fungus is to increase human stress tolerance.
Lingzhi mushroom: doctors reviews
Official medicine, as you know, is very wary of favorite drugs and folk techniques. However, she was supportive of the tinder. "Officials" recognized as many as three features possessed by the Chinese mushroom lingzhi. Reviews of doctors in this regard are unanimous:
- reishi is clearly non-toxic;
- tinder fungus has no side effects, and this is an extremely rare occurrence;
- Ganoderma has a complex effect, and does not cure any separate organ.
Thanks to such qualities, Chinese doctors, representatives of traditional medicine, in some cases recommend the use of lingzhi mushrooms along with medications as maintenance therapy.
Admission Rules
Immediately, we say: no matter how good the lingzhi mushroom, the reviews of healers about it warn that it is not worthwhile to perceive this tool as a panacea for all ills. In addition to the use of medicines based on tinder fungus, it is worth listening to the recommendations of the doctor, do not forget about proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. If you incessantly ruin the body, then no miracle cure will save him. Moreover, you need to remember the reasonable use of any folk remedies and preparations, which, of course, include the lingzhi mushroom. Its use will be effective only if you take the drug for a long time - at least six months.
It is worth noting that usually the package contains instructions that regulate the mode of use. And in most cases, it is proposed there to immediately take 2 tablets (capsules) three times a day. However, people familiar with the principles of Tibetan medicine call such prescriptions dubious: it encourages gradualism and smoothness. So it is better to start, according to them, with one tablet twice a day, a week later switch to two according to the same schedule, and only after - to receive it according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
You should also not eat lingzhi mushrooms after four in the afternoon. They greatly stimulate physical activity, which can lead to insomnia or nighttime anxiety.
Who needs to be careful
As such, the extract of Lingzhi mushroom does not have contraindications. However, some restrictions are nevertheless introduced, as is the case with the use of any drug.
- At significant stages of pregnancy, the amount of drug taken should be reduced. The maximum allowed is one capsule per day. Lingzhi mushrooms are not able to damage the fetus or the health of the expectant mother, but they can provoke a cleansing of the body, which will complicate the course of pregnancy.
- If the patient has suffered a hemorrhagic stroke, taking the drug is allowed only six months after it. The ischemic option allows immediate treatment to begin.
- Do not take Lingzhi mushroom extract for too long: you can "spoil" your body, and it will shift all its protective functions to the drug. Sometimes the immune system must remember that it is supposed to work. So between the courses, healers recommend taking long breaks. It is necessary.
And do not forget that there is such a nuisance as individual intolerance. If lingzhi mushrooms are new to you, introduce them a little in the diet, listening to your feelings.
Mushrooms Against Cancer
Pay attention to the specific areas of use of tinder fungus. Almost at an official level, the high antitumor effect of lingzhi is recognized. Mushrooms contain two components that resist cancer. The first is active anti-oncological polysaccharides, which activate macrophages and stimulate the activity of T-lymphocytes. Both those and others are a powerful obstacle to the formation of metastases and have a detrimental effect on existing cancer cells. The second assistant is terpenoids. They prevent the accumulation of free radicals, thereby preventing the tumor from nucleating.
Of course, as the only way to fight cancer, lingzhi mushrooms can hardly be recommended, since the disease is very dangerous and insidious. However, a number of studies have convincingly proved: if once a year to take an extract of the ganoderma course, you can protect yourself from the occurrence of tumors. So, as a preventative measure, Reishi is uniquely successful. In the course of treatment, a supportive course effectively localizes tumors, slows their development and facilitates the general condition of the patient.
Say no to allergies!
The anti-allergic effects are based on the antimicrobial abilities possessed by the extract of Lingzhi mushroom. The reviews of patients and doctors in this regard agree: the tinder fungus does not inhibit the activity of microbes, but kills the microorganisms themselves. In parallel, all types of human metabolism are improved. Of course, the treatment of allergies with Reishi is a lengthy process and will take at least a year, but rather, even two. But, according to practitioners of oriental medicine, it is not accompanied by any side effects, and the allergy goes away forever. Moreover, along with its consequences like bronchial asthma or atopic dermatitis.
Diabetes control
The polysaccharides that are part of lingzhi, known as Ganoderan A, B and C. are responsible for it. Protein derivatives are also a united front with them. They naturally level the blood sugar and keep it at the right level. According to experts, the great advantage of the extract of this fungus is that it can be used constantly, since it does not accumulate in the human body and does not carry any side effects. The pluses can be written and the impossibility of an overdose. In addition, skipping a dose will not immediately affect health, as previous doses have a prolonged effect. Another bonus is the improvement in tissue healing. As you know, diabetics often suffer even from small wounds, which heal with great difficulty. Drugs based on lingzhi mushrooms accelerate and improve this process. Another beneficial effect of the extract is the gradual normalization of the patient's metabolic rate. As a result, a huge number of typical complications caused by these disorders and characteristic of diabetes are avoided.
Lingzhi in cosmetology
Since the tinder fungus is the "mushroom of immortality", it means that he must also transmit these qualities to the appearance of a person, well, at least to some extent. Chinese cosmetologists widely use it to create miracle skin creams. Experts say that the ganoderma prevents the penetration of destructive free radicals into the epithelium, stabilizes the synthesis of the necessary nucleic acids at the right level and reduces the intensity of natural oxidative processes. As a result, aging of the skin slows down, cell division increases, and regeneration of the integument returns the skin to a young state. Reviews of people who have experienced the effect of the fungus-tinder fungus on themselves, emphasize that the skin becomes noticeably more elastic, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, and age-related ones become less deep. In parallel, its color improves, pores narrow. As a result, the skin becomes smoother and healthier looking.
