Ganoderma lucidum, umbrella-shaped, kidney-shaped, semicircular or nearly circular cap, is the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum, a fungus of Polyporaceae. It is a treasure in the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine, also known as Cao Xian, Cao Rui and Huanyangcao. Since ancient times, people have used Ganoderma lucidum to treat many diseases and made great contributions to human health and longevity. Known as the "top grade" by the medical profession, it is a good product for treating diseases, preserving health, beautifying and strengthening the body, and it is also the exclusive health care product of the ancient royal family. The following is my understanding of the medicinal value of Ganoderma lucidum. Welcome to reading.
First, the efficacy and role of Ganoderma lucidum
1, control blood sugar and prevent diabetes.
Animal experiments show that Ganoderma lucidum can increase the concentration of insulin in blood and accelerate the metabolism of sugar in liver, thus achieving the purpose of controlling blood sugar.
2. Protect liver, resist aging and relieve asthma.
Ganoderma lucidum can repair damaged liver, reduce liver inflammation, improve detoxification function, and has the characteristics of promoting oxygen utilization, preventing cell aging and reducing the chance of asthma attack.
3. Inhibit tumor growth, resist cancer and increase physical strength.
Ganoderma lucidum can enhance the activity of immune cells and promote antibody production, which is of great help to inhibit cancer cell metastasis and tumor growth. Not only has a certain therapeutic effect on cancer, but also can enhance physical strength and reduce the side effects caused by chemotherapy.
4. Anti-allergic, blood pressure lowering and blood lipid lowering.
Ganoderma lucidum has anti-allergic effect, and experiments show that Ganoderma lucidum can reduce blood viscosity, stabilize blood pressure, and significantly reduce serum cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol).
Second, the medicinal value of Ganoderma lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum has a history of more than 2,000 years in China, and has always been regarded as a magical treasure for nourishing and strengthening the body. After a lot of clinical research, Ganoderma lucidum has different degrees of curative effect on neurasthenia, hyperlipidemia, angina pectoris of coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, Keshan disease, altitude sickness, hepatitis, hemorrhagic fever, dyspepsia, tracheitis and so on. The main medicinal values are:
1, fidgeting, insomnia, fright. It is sweet and flat in taste, enters the heart meridian, and can tonify the heart and blood, benefit the heart qi, and calm the nerves, so it can be used to treat dysphoria, insomnia, fright, dreaminess, forgetfulness, physical weakness, loss of appetite and other symptoms caused by qi and blood deficiency and mental malnutrition. It can be ground separately and swallowed, or combined with Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Semen Ziziphi Spinosae, Semen Platycladi and Arillus Longan.
2, cough and asthma. Sweet and nourishing, slightly warm in nature, entering the lung meridian, nourishing lung qi, warming lung and resolving phlegm, relieving cough and asthma. Phlegm is often treated, especially for phlegm-dampness type or deficiency-cold type. Can be used alone or in combination with Radix Codonopsis, Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis, Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, Rhizoma Pinelliae, etc.
3. Fatigue. This product has the function of nourishing qi and blood, and is often used to treat asthenia, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, cold hands and feet or irritability and dry mouth. It is often combined with tonic drugs such as Cornus officinalis, Ginseng and Rehmannia glutinosa, such as Zizhi Pill (General Record of Shengji).
Third, the side effects of Ganoderma lucidum
It's a three-point poison Any medicine has its good side and bad side. The side effects of ganoderma lucidum are very small. Because Ganoderma lucidum is rich in natural organic germanium, there will be dazzling reactions after taking it, and some will think that there are side effects in panic. In fact, this is also the unique detoxification function of Ganoderma lucidum, which is a kind of "improving reaction", which is called "dazzling reaction" by Chinese medicine. Dizziness brings discomfort to the body, but it is not a side effect. After the dizziness disappears, the body will feel light and energetic, and the disease will gradually recover.
The disadvantage of ganoderma lucidum is that it tastes bitter. Ganoderma lucidum recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica has no toxic side effects and belongs to the first-class medicinal materials.
Expansion: the efficacy of ganoderma lucidum
improve immunity
Human immunity is the embodiment of the body's comprehensive defense, involving internal organs and major systems of the body. Besides treating diseases, the author also eats Ganoderma lucidum to prevent diseases. Especially some constitutions that are easy to catch cold, get sick and get infected. The State Food and Drug Administration of the United States has also approved that Ganoderma lucidum products have the function of enhancing immunity, and related clinical experiments are needed.
When the food around us is unsafe, the body's immunity is the most basic means to resist external bacteria and viruses. Regulating immunity is a slow and basic process, which requires persistence and exercise.
Sedation and hypnosis
The elderly especially agree with this aspect. When people are old, it is not easy to sleep deeply and the quality of shallow sleep is poor. Ganoderma lucidum has the effect of calming the nerves, and persistence is particularly useful for insomnia caused by neurasthenia.
Protect liver and detoxify.
As we all know, the liver is responsible for detoxification. Who will help the liver detoxify? Ganoderma lucidum is a good choice. It was reported in the news before that if you eat poisonous mushrooms by mistake, you can detoxify them with Ganoderma lucidum water. Of course, it is an example of liver damage caused by poison. The liver is also an organ that handles alcohol, which promotes the metabolism of drugs and poisons in the liver. Take care of your liver.
Resist tumor
In the latest research progress, some friends have a deep understanding of this aspect. A considerable number of edible fungi have anti-tumor effect, and the related indexes of tumor patients who take Ganoderma lucidum for a long time have been significantly improved. The author read the relevant literature and found that there are many anti-tumor experiments of Ganoderma lucidum in nude mice, but there are few records in human body.
Anti-wrinkle
In the aspect of anti-aging, there are many studies on Ganoderma lucidum, which can be summarized as anti-free radicals and regulating metabolic balance. With the growth and development of human body, it is also aging, which is an unavoidable topic. China's classic "Shennong Herbal Classic" records that Ganoderma lucidum is "long-serving, light-fitting and not old", which has been accumulated and verified by ancestors.
get a facial
The beauty efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum has been certified by beauty lovers, especially the recently popular Ganoderma lucidum tea. I have a friend around me, and the effect of eating Ganoderma lucidum is obvious. The research results are about Ganoderma lucidum regulating microcirculation, promoting microvascular circulation, bringing nutrition, taking away metabolic waste, and making skin transparent, white and red.
In addition, Ganoderma lucidum can improve the function of the body, make cells full of vitality, and achieve the purpose of external beauty and internal health preservation.
I think Ganoderma lucidum can be widely loved by people only because of its beauty function, but we should understand that the function of Ganoderma lucidum is not only beauty, but also anti-tumor. Ganoderma lucidum has many uses.
