History
In China, the mushroom known as Reishi (latin: Ganoderma lucidum, Chinese: Ling Zhi) has been called “God's Herb” for over 3000 years. Because of Reishi's reputation for being effective in treating a wide range of ailments, Chinese Emperors throughout history has ordered their servants to search for Reishi in the wild. They believed that the consumption of Reishi would grant them eternal youth and greatly improve their health. As the mushroom was rare, it was only reserved for royalty and the affluent.
The original textbook of Oriental medical science, "Compendium of Materia Medica", contains hundreds of natural medicine that the Chinese have used for thousands of years. Ranked in the "Superior" class, celebrated physician and naturalist Li Shi Zhen (1518~1593) described the benefits of Reishi:
"It benefits the life energy, or "qi" of the heart, repairing the chest area and benefiting those with a knotted and tight chest. Taken over a long period of time, agility of the body will not cease, and the years are lengthened to those of the Immortal Fairies."
Species Development
It was not until the late 20th century that, through diligent cultivation and breakthrough by the Japanese, Reishi, the once extremely rare plant, was made widely available to the general public.
Among the six kinds of Reishi species that are known to benefit health, RED REISHI have demonstrated the most significant health-enhancing effects and are most widely used.
Research has shown that the health-enhancing properties of Reishi are strongest when the plant is mature, a state that is almost impossible to find in the wild due to the unstable environmental conditions that exist in the natural habitat of red Reishi plants.
As a result, the highest quality of red Reishi products use full grown mushrooms that have been naturally cultivated in greenhouses in a method (natural wood log cultivation) developed by the Japanese.
Detoxification Symptoms
During the initial period of intake of Reishi, sensitive individuals may experience some mild detoxification symptoms such as skin irritation, gastrointestinal symptoms, and dryness of the nose and mouth.
These are all normal signs of recovery and an indication that the medicinal effect of Reishi is functioning well. This is the body’s way of excreting accumulated toxic matters originating from modern day processed foods and vigorous actions of the body’s metabolism.
The above-mentioned reactions and the duration of the detoxification symptoms differ from each individual. Some consumers might not have any reactions at all. If they do experience symptoms, it generally lasts a few days until the body adjusts to the higher state of wellness and becomes accustomed to the regular intake of Reishi.
Daily consumption of a large amount of water is also recommended to help the body with the detoxification process.
It is important to note that these physiological reactions are only temporary.
