Ganoderma, known as Lingzhi mushroom, which literally means “the herb of spiritual potency,” is probably the best known mushroom in Chinese medicine, where it is considered one of the 10
most effective substances in nature and is considered a mushroom of immortality.
Due to its woody consistency, it is not edible.
It grows in solitude and in small units on oak and chestnut trunks.
Reishi is considered a great adaptogen, very effective in memory loss.
Polysaccharides, peptidoglycans and triterpenes are the three main active ingredients.
The triterpenes have a hepatoprotective, antihypertensive and hypocholesterolemic function.
The polysaccharides have immunomodulatory effects, reducing the synthesis of cytokines such as IL6, IL1 and TNF alpha and promoting the maturation of T cells, natural killer (NK) and plasma cells of the immune system.
Ganoderma has also shown its ability to modulate the MAPK receptor, which is involved in cell proliferation.
Recent scientific research has revealed its beneficial effects on stimulating brain neurons, so Ganoderma has been used in the past as a complementary remedy for the treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, diabetes, obesity, chronic bronchitis, renal sclerosis and prostate hypertrophy.
In natural medicine it is used as an adaptogenic agent, which means that as an adaptogen it facilitates the restoration of physiological balance.
