Anti-aging: The reishi mushroom (ganoderma lucidum) is well known in Chinese medicine as the “king of herbs.” Its Chinese name is Lingzhi, which means “spiritual potency.” They are a source of antioxidants that prevent aging of the human tissues. The medicinal properties of reishi mushrooms have a legendary status and said to be capable of promoting longevity and health. Their therapeutic effects include the ability to increase blood flow and reduce inflammation.
Anti-cancer: Reishi reinforces membrane of the cancerous cell to impede spreading. It also prevents thrombi formation, aiding in fusion of medications within the system. Joint usage with other anti-tumor drugs and chemotherapy diminishes their side effects and heightens their effect. It normalizes the overall body system, thus decreasing further health complications. Reishi's ability to inhibit thrombi formation with none of the side effects of modern medication proves to be an invaluable contribution in the fight against cancer.
Immune-boosting: Works wonders in the prevention and treatment of cancer, as the T-cells are able to fight cancer cells more effectively. However, reishi may help the body defeat cancer in not just one, but four ways. In addition to boosting the immune system, the glucan in reishi helps immune cells bind to tumor cells. Many experts believe that it also actually reduces the number of cancerous cells, making it easier for T-cells and macrophages to rid the body of them. Another substance in reishi, called canthaxanthin, slows down the growth of tumors, according to "Prescription for Dietary Wellness" author Phyllis A. Balch and other experts. As a result of these amazing anti-cancer abilities, laboratory research and traditional medicinal usage of reishi to fight cancer is very positive.
