Ganoderma lucidum is praised as the king of medicines. Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing---a traditional Chinese medical book, lists it as the precious medicine that preserves life, and it is a very valuable medicine fungus. Ganoderma lucidum was originated in China, mainly distributing among the tropical zone and subtropics area in Asia, America, Australia and Africa. There are six types of more than 250 species of red, black, green, white, yellow and violet Ganoderma lucidum. The traditional Chinese medical book of ‘Ben Cao Gang Mu’ records various curative effects of these six types of Ganoderma lucidum including strengthening body resistance, solidifying health Qi (The Traditional Chinese Medical Science holds that Qi is life energy) and prolonging life.
Ganoderma lucidum is a sort of fungi, growing on the tree stake or the rotten timber. It can be classified into the mycelium and fruit body by the external appearance; All are edible. The mycelium is the basilar and white villiform things which supply the nutriment needed by growth; but the fruit body presents in umbrella form, including the germ handle and the germ umbrella. The germ handle usually locates on one side of a germ umbrella, and bents like the Chinese character ‘zhi’(之).

This is why its name contains ‘zhi’‘芝’. There is the spore that can breed posterity under the umbrella. 6 months is needed for spore fruit body to grow mature. During the life cycle of Ganoderma lucidum, spore contains the most nutriment which is the 75 times of that contained in other part. Researcher discovers that Ganoderma lucidum grows at area of latitude 32ºand the elevation more than 1500 meters; temperature often keeps at about 18ºC and relative humidity keeps at 80%. The Chinese call Ganoderma lucidum as ‘God’s Herb’ that can cure every kind of diseases and regard it as ‘catholicon’ to bring the person back from the brink of death. It’s recorded in the traditional Chinese medical book of Shen Nu Beng Cao Jin that Ganoderma lucidum is sweat in taste and mild in nature and used to cure deafness, benefit joint, protect spirit, benefit vitality and beauty face.

The main componens of Ganoderma lucidum are germanium (4-6 times of that in Ginseng), polysaccharide, triterpenoids, peptide, ergosterin, mannitol, adenine, adenine nucleotide, uracil, uridine, laccase, Benzoic Acid, r-trimethylamino butyric acid, lycine, trehalose, stearic acid, insect essence, phenoloid and variety of amino acids. It also contains 13 kinds of minerals including potassium, iron, magnesium, manganese, zinc, calcium, boron, copper, argentums, aluminum, natrium, stannum, lead (I). Etc. The abundant components make Ganoderma lucidum has the incomparable medical values. The famous Chinese herbalist—Mr. Li Shi Zhen said: ‘Ganoderma lucidum mainly cures deaf, benefits joint, protects spirit, benefits vitality, strengthens joint, and beautifies face. Long time taking can lighten body, prolong aging, cure deficiency and naevus.’ These medical efficacies have been proved by modern pharmacological research. Modern medical research also proves that Ganoderma lucidum has the function of protecting liver and counteracting toxin, repressing tumor, resisting decrepitude, anti-allergic and preventing neurasthenia, has efficacies on hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic bronchitis and asthma, and also has effect on beautifying face. It does not have toxicity or side effect on human body. The scientists further proved that Ganoderma lucidum can invigorate immunity system, e.g. increase the ability of macrophages, natural killer cell and T-cell, release the hormone eliminating tumor cell (Tumor Necrosis Factor and interferon) to achieve the purpose of repressing tumor. Ganoderma lucidum also has function on preventing liver from damages caused by various physical and chemical factors or biological factors. Taking Ganoderma lucidum no matter before or after liver damage can protect liver and eliminate liver damage.

Ganoderma lucidum Polysaccharide
Ganoderma lucidum Polysaccharide is constituted by Glucose ranging from thousands to millions in number. The molecule bond of high polymer Polysaccharide is different from that of starch. It is not easy to be decomposed by human digesting enzyme. So it can keep in the body to carry out many important pharmacological activities, such anti-cancer, improving immunity and hypoxia-resistance, and restraining tumor and anti-decrepitude etc., so it catches the attention of researchers. Since 1970, the researchers of Beijing Medicine University and Japanese National Cancer Research Center have gradually proved the efficacy of Polysaccharide. It can stimulate the macrophage and T lymphocyte in immune system to produce a great deal of hormone in order to restrain tumor, help to reduce the mutation cell, and lower the opportunity of pathological change to malignant tumor. Ganoderma lucidum Polysaccharide also can alleviate the side-effect caused by the radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and help to prevent and cure tumor.
Triterpenoids
Triterpenoids, also called Ganodenic acid, is the source of bitter taste of Ganoderma lucidum. Among the known Ganoderma lucidum, there are more than 100 kinds of Triterpenoids; the main one is Triterpenes. It can improve the function of liver and has many obvious pharmacological activities, such as reducing blood fat, regulating blood pressure, calming nerve, diminishing inflammation and pain, anti-cancer and repressing tumor, etc.

Ages ago, there was a clever young boy named Ning Yuan who’s living in Longmen Xiakou. His grandfather caught a serious disease and there was no money in his family to cure the disease. As a result, he became an orphan after his grandfather died of the disease. One day, he was told that there was Ganoderma lucidum grass growing in the summit of Jiulong Mountain. This grass could cure all kinds of diseases. He made up his mind to get this grass to prevent other persons from losing their relatives like him. So he climbed to Jiulong summit along the steep mountain. When he arrived at the cliff where the Nine Dragons entrenched, the wind suddenly blew, the mountain shook and the earth moved. The boy dropped down to the deep valley. When he woke up, he was directed by a white-beard immortal, taking off a flickering Ganoderma lucidum. In legendary, this Ganoderma lucidum could bring the person back from the brink of death. As expected, when Ning Yuan brought it back to village, and blew three tones to the dead person to be buried. It can really bring the dead to life. He blew two tones to the sick person and all the diseases were cured.
Ganoderma lucidum also has a magic feature that it can just save the good person not the bad people. Ning Yuan used it to cure diseases for the villagers and saved lives of numerous patients.
