Ganoderma Lucidum: An Ancient Mushroom for Modern Health Benefits
Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a medicinal mushroom regarded as a precious Chinese medicinal herb since ancient times. It is well known for its benefits of 'tonifying the five internal organs and prolonging life.'
In NTDTV's 'Health 1+1' program, Shu Rong, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner and director of Dr. Rong's Clinic in Cambridge, England, gave an in-depth analysis of the efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum, how to take it, and key points for purchasing. She also provided us with practical health advice and identified risk groups that should avoid eating it.
Lingzhi's Many Health Benefits
Ganoderma lucidum provides nourishment to all organs, Shu said. The ancient TCM text on agricultural and medicinal plants, 'Shennong's Herbal Classics,' lists Ganoderma lucidum as a 'superb product,' which means it can be taken for a long time without side effects, and its continued use will produce better and better results. The book records the beneficial effects of two types of Ganoderma lucidum—purple and red.
