Video - Discover the Secrets of the 'King of Herbs': Ganoderma Lucidum
Centuries ago a fungus was discovered — an incredible mushroom known as Ganoderma lucidum. But there’s nothing common about this species. Ganoderma is a fantastic-looking mushroom, resembling something supernatural, or straight out of a Disney fantasy. The mushrooms are unique in that they grow on wood, mostly out of large trees (living or dead) in forests in the more tropical regions of Asia. For thousands of years, Ganoderma lucidum has been recognized by many as the highest-ranked of all herbs. The Chinese name for Ganoderma, Lingzhi, means “spiritual potency”, while the Japanese name, Reishi, can be translated as “King of Herbs”. Many ancient civilizations used mushrooms for more than just food. They believed mushrooms had significant health benefits. Dr. Shi-Jean Lee — famous during the Ming Dynasty — endorsed using Ganoderma in his famous book Great Pharmacopoeia [Ban Chao Gang Moo]. In it, he promotes the regular consumption of Ganoderma!
