Author: R.G. Srinivasan

Ganoderma ‘The King of Herbs’ has always been shrouded in mystery and secrecy. With a history dating back to 3000 years and part of the Chinese pharmacopoeia, described as the Celestial Herb due to absence of any side effects irrespective of dosage and long term usage.

This was the cure all for any and every illness in the medical practices of the orient. It was also widely consumed for anti ageing and perhaps is the secret of oriental health and longevity.

Modern science has now identified 252 active ingredients having medicinal properties. To put it simply taking ganoderma on a daily basis helps detoxify the body, rejuvenate the cells, balancing the functions of various organs and remove disorders. It helps to remove stress and due to this property alone it is effective is preventing disease. Its also effective in building up body immune systems helping to avoid illnesses and viral related problems.

Only from 1970 did the veil of secrecy begin to be lifted with various scientists beginning to research the medicinal properties of ganoderma. The research mainly by Chinese and Japanese and the analysis and clinical experiments done by hospitals, collages and pharmaceutical manufacturers, has clearly established the extensive efficacy in the healthy functioning of almost every part of the body. It is truly the cellular nutrition required by the modern day man.

It is a hemocatharsis, detoxificant, diuretic, liver protector, intestine regulator, cardio tonic, blood pressure adjuster, a cold tonic, antitussive and expectorant, a tranquilizer and anti tumor agent. It can promote metabolism, prevent tissue degeneration, improve body’s immune system and eliminate viruses.

Few countries and companies in the world have been able to produce ganoderma due to special nature and conditions required for its growth. In earlier times it used to grow only on old trees and logs in the humid jungles. Only in 3-4 trees out of 10,000 trees provided the right condition for its growth. So one can imagine the rarity of this herb.

Now research has created the right blend of atmosphere and conditions for its growth. Still success in growing high quality Ganoderma is rare indeed. While growing itself is a high tech and high investment oriented, separation of the over 200 nutrients poses more problems. Extraction of the active components requires high degree of proprietary skills and use of technology. Many of the products available in the market do not conform to the standards required to obtain the health benefits and one must be very careful about choosing the right product and company.

In this age of stress and stress related disease as well as chemical induced poisoning of bodily systems; no one can afford the luxury of not consuming on a regular basis this unique health promoting Celestial Herb.
