Beneficios del Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi)
Ganoderma lucidum, also named
Lingzhi or Reishi, has been widely used
all over the world for centuries. According to Chinese medicine,
Ganoderma lucidum can penetrate into and work on the five key human
organs for impairment of the heart, lung, liver, pancreas, and kidney.
Ganoderma lucidum can cure the sickness of various human systems
including respiratory, circulatory, digestive, neural, endocrine,
locomotory, etc, involving medical, surgical, gynecological, paediatric,
and ENT. All these are because of its fundamental effect of "supporting
the vital essence and securing the basics", thus to improving the
immune system. It differs from any other medicines that are used to cure
specific disease, or supplementary nutrients that only address
particular body requirements. Ganoderma lucidum helps regulate entire
body mechanism and metabolism to ensure that all organs function
properly. Some specific effects of Ganoderma lucidum are as follows:

1. Effect on Tumor
Main cause to the development of tumor is the disorder of or poor
performing immune system. Ganoderma lucidum can best regulate and
activate the immune system. It prominently enhances the body immune
function and increase self defense capability against tumor. Ganoderma
lucidum enhances the function of monocytic macrophage via activating
synthesis of interleukin H. It also enhances blood synthesis capacity,
particularly white blood cells level. Combining with the inhibitory
effect on cancer cells provided by certain ingredients in Ganoderma
lucidum, it becomes one of the most effective medicines for anti-tumor,
prevent cancer, and supplement to cancer treatment. Ganoderma lucidum
possesses hardly any toxic to human body. This unique feature of
enhancing immunity without toxigenicity is the definite advantage of
Ganoderma lucidum over any other immune system intensifier.
2. Liver Protection & Detoxification
Ganoderma lucidum is able to protect the liver from damaged by
various physiological and biological factors. Moreover, effect can be
obtained either pre-or post-damage. Ganoderma lucidum speeds up
metabolism of both medicine and toxic substances in liver, leading to
curing of toxicated hepatitis.
Ganoderma lucidum is also suitable for
treating chronic hepatitis, effectively eliminating the related symptoms
as dizzy, fatigue, and so on. Ganoderma lucidum can be used to treat
chronic toxicosis, the various kinds of chronic hepatitis, and other
hepatic diseases.
3. Effect on Cardiovascular
Clinical studies and experiments with animals confirm that Ganoderma
lucidum can effectively dilate coronary artery, increase coronary vessel
blood flow, and improve circulation in cardiac muscle capillaries, thus
increase the supply of oxygen and energy to cardiac muscle. Therefore
Ganoderma lucidum helps to protect the heart from shortage of blood
supply, and it is ideal for both curing and preventing heart diseases
like nausea. Ganoderma lucidum can obviously reduce the level of blood
cholesterol, liporotein and triglycerides in hypertensive patienst. It
prevents the formation of arterial atheromatous patches. If patches are
already formed, Ganoderma lucidum will reduce cholesterol in arterial
wall and soften the blood vessel to avoid further damage. It also
partially improves blood circulation, and inhibits platelet aggregation.
All these effects contribute to preventing various kinds of stroke.
4. Aging Prevention
The polysaccharides and polypeptides found in Ganoderma lucidum can effectively delay aging by the following mechanisms.
1). To enhance and regulate immune function. Such enhancement and
regulation can effectively delay aging in adult and aged people. For the
youngster, the immune system will be optimized to ensure healthy
growth.
2). To regulate metabolism and enhance synthesis of nucleic acids and
proteins. Research works have shown that Ganoderma lucidum enhances
synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins in blood plasma, liver, and bone
marrow, hence effectively prevent aging. It is observed that the use of
Ganoderma lucidum to prevent aging benefits not only the aged, but also
the young, since growth and development process will ultimately lead to
aging.
3). Effect on Free Radicals. One cause of aging is the reduction of
self-originated antioxidant or antioxidant-like material (such as SOD)in
the body. These antioxidants are essential for encountering damage to
the body by free radicals. Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides possess the
properties that are very similar to SOD which can remove the free
radicals and prevent its damage to the body by stopping over-oxidation
of lipid. Such action protects the cells and delays their aging.
4). Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides prominently enhance DNA
synthesis in cell nucleus, and increase the number of cell divisions,
which results in delayed aging.
5. Effect on Neurasthenia
In Chinese medication, Ganoderma lucidum has been used to treat
neurasthenia and insomnia since it works on the central nervous system.
Extract from Ganoderma lucidum can inhibit and reduce the level of body
activity. This inhibitory effect is quantitative and is helpful for
resuming the order of activity level. The fact that Ganoderma lucidum
can delay the death as the result of over-dosage of a central stimulant
such as caffeine demonstrates shows that Ganoderma lucidum works on the
central nervous system by applying an inhibitory effect.
In ancient Chinese medical publications, Ganoderma lucidum can serve to
"stabilize emotion", "increase wisdom", and "enhance memory power".
Recently, it is reported that Ganoderma lucidum has prominent effect on
insomnia caused by neurasthenia: Effectiveness is 87.14% to 100%.In
general, effect becomes obvious after a period of 10 to 15 days, when
sleep improved, appetite increased, and body weight gained. Related
headache and dizzy will be reduced or stopped. Ganoderma lucidum has a
relatively strong effect on the central nervous system that makes
Ganoderma lucidum an effective substance for treatment of neurasthenia
and insomnia. Ganoderma lucidum is becoming more and more indispensable
to the sufferers of neurasthenia and insomnia. To date, the effect of
Ganoderma lucidum on neurasthenia and insomnia has been clearly
described and stated in the China State pharmacopoeia.
6. Effect on Hypertension
Ganoderma lucidum can effectively reduce blood pressure of an
anesthetized rabbit: systolic and diastolic pressure lowered by 15% and
25% respectively. Related neural activity is also inhibited: inhibition
is 20% and 40% respectively. According to a report of a hospital, there
had been 18 cases of high blood pressure successfully cured by Ganoderma
lucidum extract, effectiveness up to 88.9%. It was stated that the
effect of reducing blood pressure by Ganoderma lucidum was mainly the
result of inhibition to the sympathetic nervous system. From another
report, among 30 cases using Ganoderma lucidum products to cure high
blood pressure, effectiveness was 88.3%. Moreover, it was found that
Ganoderma lucidum also extends and stabilizes the effect of reducing
blood pressure of other medicine.
7. Treament of Diabetes
The constitutes in Ganoderma lucidum that reduce blood glucose are
Ganoderma B and C. The principle is by enhancing utilization of blood
glucose by body tossues. Ganoderma lucidum serves as a substitute to
insulin to inhibit release of fatty acids. It thus improves symptoms in
high blood glucose and high urine glucose patients. Blood glucose will
be reduced from 173 to 116, cholesterol from 233 to 179, beat-protein
from 580 to 465. Water-solubility polysaccharides in Ganoderma lucidum
suppresse insulin-independent diabetes. The health food products
manufactured by Japan Numata Kenji, has been widely used for the
treatment of diabetes.
8. Effect on Chronic Bronchitis & Bronchus Asthma
Ganoderma lucidum can stop coughing, clear sputum, and suppress
asthma. It also relieves the symptoms of the related illnesses. Since
Ganoderma lucidum can activate the immune system, it can prevent from
flu, and thus above syndromes. Ganoderma lucidum is particularly
suitable for the treatment of the patients categorized as "cold and wet"
by
Chinese medicine, while for the "hot and dry" patients would be
relatively less effective. The average effectiveness is 80%.
9. Effect on Hyper Susceptibility
When the body is invaded by an antigen that ellicits an immunological
reactions and results the various abnormality and immuno-pathological
symptoms, Ganoderma lucidum can be used to suppress the reactions and
resume the body order. The experiment shows that Ganoderma lucidum can
stop the release of hyper susceptible factors and prevent the
development of allergic reactions. Therefore, Ganoderma lucidum is
relatively more effective over other current medicines when treating the
illnesses caused by abnormal hyper-reactivity or autoimmunity such as
allergic asthma, erythematous lupus vulgaris, rheumatoic arthritis,
rheumatoic heart diseases, allergic rhinitis, skin diseases, etc.
Ganoderma lucidum can also help to cure the toxification patients as the
result of pro-longed usage of hormones.
10. Effect on Beauty Care
Ganoderma lucidum has been named the "Medicine of Eternal Life". It
is mainly contributed to the effect on skin protection, and delaying
aging. Ganoderma lucidum can retain and regulate the water in skin and
thus can keep the skin elasticity, hydrated and smooth. It also inhibits
the formation and deposition of melanin in skin. Today, the beauty care
products made from Ganoderma lucidum are becoming the new stars in the
industry. Taking Ganoderma lucidum food products will obtain synergistic
effect. To add Ganoderma lucidum into the bath will not only keep the
skin smooth and lustrous, but also prevent it from bacterial infection.
In addition to the above effects, Ganoderma lucidum stimulates blood
synthesis in bone marrow and increase WBC level, which make it suitable
for the treatment of low WBC symptom caused by over dosage of radiation
and blood diseases, etc. By enhancing the body immune system, Ganoderma
lucidum can defend the body from viral infections like AIDS virus.
Ganoderma lucidum also promotes tolerance of the body to adverse
environment. It suppresses over contraction of smooth muscle in uterus
to remedy the functional uterine bleeding. Ganoderma lucidum is also
effective for the pigment denaturation in retina, the underdeveloped
brain, as well as abnormal muscular development. Ganoderma lucidum is
also an effective pain reliever for headache, neural pain, cancer pain,
etc.
