Pharmacological function

The clinical research of Ganoderma lucidum only has systematic clinical reports in China. Although many countries in the world have recognized and acknowledged the pharmacological effects of Ganoderma lucidum, it is only in the experimental stage at present, and there is no systematic clinical study on human body. At this stage, it is necessary to collect and study some clinical cases. As a traditional precious medicinal material in China, Ganoderma lucidum has a medicinal history of thousands of years and has high medicinal value. After decades of modern pharmacological research in scientific research institutions, it has been proved that Ganoderma lucidum has remarkable effects in enhancing human immunity, regulating blood sugar, controlling blood pressure, assisting tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy, protecting liver and promoting sleep. In the future promotion process, Ganoderma lucidum needs to gain more cognition and application, and make contributions to human health.

Pharmacological characteristics

Gan, Ping. Heart, lung, liver and kidney meridians. Indications: fatigue, cough, asthma, insomnia, dyspepsia, malignant tumor, etc. Animal pharmacology shows that Ganoderma lucidum has inhibitory effect on nervous system, circulatory system has the function of lowering blood pressure, enhancing myocardial contractility, and has expectorant effect on respiratory system. In addition, it has the functions of protecting liver, improving immune function and resisting bacteria. According to animal experiments, it has sedative and analgesic effects on mice. It can improve the cold tolerance and hypoxia tolerance of mice and delay the death time of mice. Ganoderma lucidum as the main component, together with Atractylodes macrocephala, Notoginseng Radix, Ligusticum Chuanxiong and other traditional Chinese medicines, can significantly improve the survival rate of animals, help animals get through the extreme period of radiation sickness, and make white blood cells recover earlier. Irradiated animals can stimulate their appetite and improve their mental state after taking Ganoderma lucidum. Normal people take 20 grams of Ganoderma lucidum orally, which can reduce the heart rate.

Taking method

Usage and dosage: 6 ~ 12g. [Neurasthenia] Ganoderma lucidum syrup (about 30%) 20 ml, twice a day. (or 6 ~ 9g of Ganoderma lucidum, decocted in water). [Hypertension] 6 ~ 9 grams of Ganoderma lucidum, decocted in water. [Persistent hepatitis] 6 grams of Ganoderma lucidum and 4.5 grams of licorice are decocted in water. [Chronic tracheitis] 9 grams of Ganoderma lucidum, 6 grams of Radix Adenophorae and Radix Glehniae each, 9 grams of lily, decocted in water. [Allergic asthma] Ganoderma lucidum 16g, Pinellia ternata 3g and a half, perilla leaf 6g, Magnolia officinalis 3g, Poria 9g, rock sugar decoction, two to three times a day. [Allergic rhinitis] Ganoderma lucidum decocts thick soup, filters and drips nose frequently. Pay attention to two points when taking it: (1) oral grinding or soaking in wine, 2 ~ 3g each time. In modern times, it is often changed to tablets, 3 ~ 4 capsules each time, 3 times a day, or injection or intramuscular injection, 1 ~ 2 times a day. Don't overdo it, because experiments show that taking it in large quantities will cause side effects and kill animals. (2) Long service time. If you treat a disease, it usually takes more than 1 month; If you want to prevent aging and prolong life, take it for more than 3 months, stop taking it for 3 months, and then take it intermittently, the effect will be good.
