How to take dried ganoderma lucidum for best results

Dried Ganoderma lucidum is best taken by powdering it and decocting it in water for about 30 minutes for best results. In Chinese herbal medicine, Lingzhi is sweet and flat in nature and is classified as a member of the heart, lung, liver and kidney meridians. It has the effect of tonifying qi and calming the mind, relieving cough and asthma, and is used to treat deficiency, cough, asthma, insomnia and indigestion. Modern pharmacology shows that Ganoderma lucidum has anti-tumor, regulates blood lipids and blood pressure, protects the liver, improves immunity, and is antibacterial. The seeds of Ganoderma lucidum are embedded in the woody layer, so the simple infusion method cannot effectively bring out all the medicinal properties of the seeds, and if sliced and decocted, repeated decoctions are needed to bring out the medicinal effects, which is a tedious operation. Therefore, using modern wall-breaking technology, the dried Ganoderma lucidum is powdered and then decocted in water to maximize its medicinal effects.
