In ancient China, most of the knowledge about Ganoderma lucidum was full of mystery. In the historical evolution of thousands of years, its almost mysterious and magical legends are endless, with far-reaching and extensive influence.
In folklore with a long history, Ganoderma lucidum has always been regarded as a magical medicine that can bring people back to life and make people live forever. In order to live longer, Qin Shihuang appointed Xu Fu to take people to Penglai Fairy Island in order to pick the legendary "Fairy Grass" Ganoderma lucidum. The well-known fairy tale The Legend of the White Snake is also Ganoderma lucidum. It is exaggerated to say that it can bring people back to life and live forever, but these legends also reflect the magical medical and health care function of Ganoderma lucidum from one side.
In the earliest existing pharmacological monograph "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" in China, * * * contains 365 kinds of drugs, which are divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower. Top-grade drugs are all effective and non-toxic, and Ganoderma lucidum is among the top-grade drugs. Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica said: "The top grade is mainly nourishing and healthy, and it is non-toxic. If you take it for a long time, it won't hurt people. If you want to exercise and benefit the qi without being old, you must go to the classics. " This book discusses Ganoderma lucidum in detail, and holds that Ganoderma lucidum has the effects of "benefiting the heart" and "relieving shock", and it can not prolong life even if it is eaten for a long time. These expositions about Ganoderma lucidum in Shennong's Materia Medica Classic have been regarded as classics by later doctors and are still in use today. "Taiping Shenghui Fang" thinks that after taking Ganoderma lucidum, it is "intellectual man fit in ten days, all diseases stop in twenty days, and it is like white jade in thirty days"; Ge Hong, a medical scientist in Jin Dynasty, thought in Bao Puzi that Ganoderma lucidum, which is "seven bright and nine bright", can be "rejuvenated" after long service. These statements may seem exaggerated, but the role of Ganoderma lucidum in preventing premature aging and beauty beauty is certain. In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in Ming Dynasty, quoted the records of Ganoderma lucidum from later generations and put forward his own opinions. He believes that Ganoderma lucidum is bitter in taste, flat in nature and non-toxic. It has the effects of benefiting heart qi, entering the heart and congestion, helping the heart to fill the pulse, calming the nerves, benefiting lung qi, tonifying the middle warmer, enhancing intelligence, enhancing color, benefiting joints, strengthening bones and muscles, resolving phlegm, invigorating stomach and promoting blood circulation, and has become the research on Ganoderma lucidum in later generations.
Ganoderma lucidum is the only one of all traditional Chinese medicines for tonifying deficiency, which enters the five meridians of kidney, liver, heart, lung and spleen. It can not only nourish liver and kidney, but also nourish the heart and soothe the nerves, strengthen the spleen and help digestion, and has a wide range of uses. Ganoderma lucidum can greatly supplement the deficiency of five internal organs, balance yin and yang, and harmonize qi and blood, which naturally makes it a treasure of "youth is not old" and it is not an exaggeration to enjoy the reputation that "all drugs are the medicine for all diseases, and Ganoderma lucidum is the medicine for all diseases". It is very reasonable for doctors of all ages to nourish and strengthen the body and strengthen the foundation. Many studies show that Ganoderma lucidum is not a panacea for all diseases, but it can really play an extraordinary role as long as it is used reasonably.
Usually we refer to Ganoderma lucidum, which is a representative variety of Ganoderma lucidum. It is generally believed that it has the best quality and extensive pharmacological effects, and it has been studied the most at present. Unless otherwise specified, Ganoderma lucidum in a narrow sense refers to Ganoderma lucidum. The control experiment shows that there is no obvious difference in curative effect between cultivated Ganoderma lucidum and wild Ganoderma lucidum, which shows that the effective components contained in them are basically the same.
The results of modern scientific research show that Ganoderma lucidum has a variety of pharmacological activities and curative effects, which can improve the immune function of the body, inhibit tumor growth, improve myocardial contractility, accelerate blood circulation, improve the oxygen-carrying and oxygen-supplying ability of hemoglobin, widen the oxygen difference between arteries and veins, calm the liver and detoxify, improve the exercise ability of the body, lower blood pressure, reduce blood fat, lower blood sugar, soothe the nerves and relieve spasms, relieve blood viscosity, and treat tumors, cardiovascular diseases, hepatitis, asthma and neurasthenia. At the same time, it is also found that Ganoderma lucidum has a variety of pharmacological activities and curative effects, because it can improve the body's immunity. Immunity has improved, and many diseases caused by low immunity can be prevented and treated. So far, no other drugs with so many effects have been found in the world.
