Reishi Mushroom: An Ancient Mushroom For Modern Health Benefits

Lingzhi, also known as Reishi Mushroom, is a medicinal mushroom that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to tonify the five internal organs and prolong life. According to Shu Rong, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Reishi Mushroom provides nourishment to all organs, and its continued use will produce better and better results. The mushroom has various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardiovascular disease prevention properties. There are six types of Reishi Mushroom, each corresponding to different organs in the body. Shu recommends taking Reishi Mushroom in four forms: broken wall Reishi mushroom spore powder, Reishi mushroom spore oil, Reishi mushroom fruiting body, and Reishi mushroom medicinal diet. When purchasing Reishi Mushroom, one should choose certified products, check the grade identification, and ensure the whole plant is intact. However, some people should avoid taking Reishi Mushroom, minors, those with wounds, those with upcoming surgery, and those taking Western medicine. Reishi Mushroom may interact with certain drugs, and people should consult a doctor before taking it. Cultivated Reishi Mushroom is a safer choice than wild Reishi Mushroom due to its stable active ingredients and reliable therapeutic effect.
