Ling Zhi (Reishi Mushroom or Ganaderma)

Ling Zhi (LZ) was reported in ancient Chinese material medica “Shen Long Ben Tso” and “Ben tsa Gang Mu” as a superior herb with many health benefits that could be used for an extended period of time without any harm.

China and Japan have used LZ to treat various sicknesses for over 4,000 years. They are, to name a few, heptopathy, hepatitis, nephritis, hypertension, arthritis, neurasthenia, insomnia, asthma, bronchitis, gastric ulcers, cancer and many degenerative diseases.
Extensive scientific study in China, Japan, Taiwan and Korea, in the past 30 years have yielded a wealth of knowledge about LZ’s chemical constituents, and pharmacology which leads to practical medical applications.

The major chemical components found in LZ are: polysaccharide, triterpene, steroid alkaloid, glyco-protein, protein, nucleotide, sulfur compounds and fatty acid. These materials result in the following pharmacological actions: immunostimulating/modulating, anticancer, tumor inhibiting, histamine release inhibitors, platelet aggregation inhibitor, antiallergerical, antihepatoxic, antihypertensive, cholesterol synthesis inhibitor, cardio-tonic, hypoglycemic, muscle relaxant, analgesic, antibacterial, and antiviral activities.

In the past 20 years, various clinical studies in China, Japan, Taiwan, and Russia have concluded its therapeutic efficacy in treating allergy, asthma, bronchitis, neurasthenia, insomnia, hepatitis, high cholesterol and triglycerides, coronary heart disease, elevation disease, and as a diuretic/laxative. The toxicity of LZ has been shown to be very low. Based on customer’s feedback, favorable reactions on many of the above benefits were realized.
