Ganoderma Uses

Ganoderma is known as Ling-Zhi (Chinese) and Reishi (Japanese) and also as the King of Herbs, because it has possibly the broadest range of nutraceuticals known in one plant. Our body requires these to help the natural balancing of our cells, so our body can then start its own natural healing processes, assisting it back to good health.

Ganoderma which has been described as "The King of Herbs" has been shrouded in mystery and secrecy. Described as the Celestial Herb due to absence of any side effects irrespective of dosage and long term usage. This elixir was the cure all for any and every illness in the medical practices of the orient. It also was know for its anti-aging properties and perhaps is the secret of oriental health and longevity. Modern Western science has now identified over 280 active ingredients that have healing medicinal properties.

Taking ganoderma on a daily basis helps detoxify the body, rejuvenate the cells, balance the functions of various organs and help remove disorders. It helps in stress relief and due to this property alone it is effective is preventing disease. It also aids the body in building up the immune systems thus helping to avoid illnesses related problems.

In the early 1970's the veil of secrecy begins to be lifted with various researchers beginning to study the medicinal properties of ganoderma. The research mainly by Chinese and Japanese and the analysis and clinical experiments done by hospitals, collages and pharmaceutical manufacturers, has clearly established the extensive efficacy in the healthy functioning of almost every part of the body.

It truly has many amazing properties. It is a hemocatharsis, detoxificant, diuretic, liver protector, intestine regulator, cardio tonic, blood pressure adjuster, a cold tonic, antitussive and expectorant, a tranquilizer and anti tumor agent. It can help your body's metabolism, prevent tissue degeneration, improve the body's immune system and help one's self eliminate viruses.

What's in Ganoderma?

The Ganoderrma mushroom contains more than 200 active elements which can be categorized into water soluble, organic soluble and volatile soluble compounds. The major elements includes polysaccharide, organic germanium (Ge), adenosine and triterpenoids, each having their own outstanding medicinal effects. Organic Germanium (Ge): it can increase the oxygen absorbed by the blood up to 1.5 times. It can also promote metabolism and thus help prevent tissue degeneration. According to the research of Dr Kazuhiko Asai, ganoderma contains 800 - 2000 p.p.m. of organic germanium (Ge). This is 4-6 times more than ginseng.

Polysaccharides: it helps cleanse toxic deposit from body, strengthen the natural healing ability of the body, convert abnormal cells to normal cells, and enhance the body's immune system thus improving overall health.

Adenosine: it can lower cholesterol level and amount of free fat, improve blood circulation and regulate the metabolism and hence promote vigor and vitality.

Triterpenoids: it helps enhance the digestive system, reduce cholesterol and neutral fat in the body. It also is effective in relieving pain, removing body toxic, etc.

Ganoderma - Origins

Ganoderma is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Ganodermataceae that includes about 80 species, many from tropical regions. They have a high genetic diversity and are used in traditional Asian medicines. 

Within the mushroom, there are several molecules, including triterpenoids, polysaccharides, and peptidoglycans, that may be responsible for its health effects (3Trusted Source).

While the mushrooms themselves can be eaten fresh, it is also common to use powdered forms of the mushroom or extracts that contain these specific molecules.

NONI - Origins and History

Morinda citrifolia is a fruit-bearing tree in the coffee family, Rubiaceae. Its native range extends across Southeast Asia and Australasia, and was spread across the Pacific by Polynesian sailors.[1] The species is now cultivated throughout the tropics and widely naturalized.[2] Among some 100 names for the fruit across different regions are the more common English names of great morinda, Indian mulberry, noni, beach mulberry, and cheese fruit.[3] The fresh fruit's strong, vomit-like odor has made it a famine food in most regions, but it remains a staple food among some cultures, and has been used in traditional medicine. In the consumer market, it has been introduced as a supplement in various formats, such as capsules, skin products, and juices.

A variety of beverages (juice drinks), powders (from dried ripe or unripe fruits), cosmetic products (lotions, soaps), oil (from seeds), leaf powders (for encapsulation or pills) have been introduced into the consumer market.
The Green fruit, leaves, and root or rhizomes might have been used in Polynesian cultures as a general tonic.
The fruit contains potent antioxidants that may provide some health benefits for the body, such as supporting a healthy immune system and relieving inflammation.

Ganoderma - an ancient Asian health remedy

Lingzhi has been recognized as a medicinal mushroom for over 2000 years, and its powerful effects have been documented in ancient scripts (Wasser 2005). The first book wholly devoted to the description of herbs and their medicinal value was Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, written in the Eastern Han dynasty of China (25-220 AD). This book is also known as “Classic of the Materia Medica” or “Shen-nong’s Herbal Classics.” It describes botanical, zoological, and mineral substances, and was composed in the second century under the pseudonym of Shen-nong (“the holy farmer”; Zhu, 1998). The book, which has been continually updated and extended, describes the beneficial effects of several mushrooms with a reference to the medicinal mushroom G. lucidum (Zhu, 1998; Upton 2000; Sanodiya et al. 2009). In the Supplement to Classic of Materia Medica (502-536 AD) and the Ben Cao Gang Mu by Li Shin-Zhen, which is considered to be the first pharmacopoeia in China (1590 AD; Ming dynasty), the mushroom was attributed with therapeutic properties, such as tonifying effects, enhancing vital energy, strengthening cardiac function, increasing memory, and antiaging effects. According to the State Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China (2000), G. lucidum acts to replenish Qi, ease the mind, and relieve cough and asthma, and it is recommended for dizziness, insomnia, palpitation, and shortness of breath.

Noni - reported health benefits

Noni juice is a globally popular health beverage originating in the tropics. Traditional Tahitian healers believe the noni plant to be useful for a wide range of maladies, and noni juice consumers throughout the world have similar perceptions. Nevertheless, human clinical trials are necessary for a precise understanding of what the health benefits of noni juice are. A review of published human intervention studies suggests that noni juice may provide protection against tobacco smoke-induced DNA damage, blood lipid and homocysteine elevation as well as systemic inflammation. Human intervention studies also indicate that noni juice may improve joint health, increase physical endurance, increase immune activity, inhibit glycation of proteins, aid weight management, help maintain bone health in women, help maintain normal blood pressure, and improve gum health. Further, these studies point to notable antioxidant activity in noni juice, more so than other fruit juices which served as trial placebos. It is this antioxidant effect and its interaction with the immune system and inflammation pathways that may account for many of the observed health benefits of noni juice. However, the existing evidence does have some limitations as far as its general application to noni juice products; all the peer-reviewed human interventions studies to date have involved only one source of French Polynesian noni juice. Geographical factors and variations in processing methods are known to produce commercial noni juice products with divergent phytochemical and nutrient compositions. Therefore, other sources of noni products may have different toxicological and pharmacological profiles.

The Chinese government has also approved one source of noni juice as a safe new resource and has approved it as a functional food that can enhance immunity
