Ganoderma (Ling Chih, Reishi) Benefits:
Health Benefits: Reishi indeed sounds like a cure-all. An
immunostimulant, it is helpful for people with AIDS, leaky gut syndrome,
Epstein-Barr, chronic bronchitis, and other infectious viruses. It is
used as an aid to sleep; as a diuretic; as a laxative; and to lower
cholesterol. Reishi mushrooms are antioxidants and liver protectants..

One key function, identified long ago by Eastern medical science, is
defense--that is, the body has the need and ability to defend itself
against threats to its equilibrium, whether they be physical, emotional,
or energetic. Having noted and studied the body's defensive
capabilities, Chinese doctors then explored the natural world to find
ways of maintaining and enhancing them, and they discovered a number of
ways to do so, including the administration of herbal remedies. Among
these remedies are ginseng, astragalus, and several mushrooms that grow
on trees, such as Ganoderma lucidum (known to the Chinese as ling chih
and the Japanese as reishi).
