Video - Ganoderma Lucidum: The Ancient Superfood with Spiritual Potency

Centuries ago a fungus was discovered — an incredible mushroom known as Ganoderma lucidum. But there’s nothing common about this species. Ganoderma lucidum is a mushroom that is not used in cooking but is used for many benefits in traditional Asian culture and can be found in supplements, skincare, and a broad range of everyday products around the world. 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. Their long brown stems and orange-colored caps make them a spectacular sight, but in the wild, they can be hard to see because they thrive in such heavily forested areas. At ORGANO, we source only the finest quality Ganoderma, grown undisturbed on logs high in the Wuyi Mountains of China’s Fuzhou region. 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 the use of Ganoderma in his famous book Great Pharmacopoeia [Ban Chao Gang Moo]. In it, he promotes the regular consumption of Ganoderma!
