Ganoderma shows promise in reducing cholesterol levels and easing allergy-related inflammation of the airways, according to preliminary evidence from animal-based studies. Here's a look at more of the science behind ganoderma's health-enhancing effects.
*[[Immunotherapy]] : Cancer and the Immune System :Often used as an immune stimulant by people with cancer (as well as HIV), ganoderma has been shown to strengthen immunity as well as combat cancer-cell proliferation. Effect of Ganoderma has been demonstrated for breast, prostate, lung, colon and rectum , the blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma) cell lines and many other tumors. Lab tests on breast cancer cells, meanwhile, found that combining extracts of ganoderma and green tea heightened the mushroom's ability to slow cancer-cell growth.
**Reishi reinforces membrane of the cancerous cell to impede spreading.
**It also prevents thrombi formation aiding in fusion of medications within the system.
*High cholesterol
*Insomnia
* Spiritual : Reishi is a lucidity-enhancing adaptogenic substance meaning that it calms the body and mind through restoring balance to the body’s organs and bio-energetic systems, not through sedation, which is how most relaxing herbs work. Sedation actually dulls the nervous system, similar in effect to alcohol. However, both Gotu Kola and Reishi actually sensitize the nervous system by reducing interference and calming overactive organs and stress-response biosystems. This is like removing the static from a radio signal, which allows more detail of the sounds coming through to be properly heard. In that sense, as Reishi removes the inflammation, stress and tension and begins to harmonize the different organs and systems in the body, the nervous system becomes primed into peak sensitivity and function, allowing us to experience what was always there but we had previously been too dulled to experience/notice.
