Enable Amazing Healing with Lingzhi, China's "Medicine of Kings".It is different from common mushrooms in several ways according to Wikipedia. Only a few are worth mentioning. It has a lower water content than most mushrooms, and it also releases its spores through pores not gills. The most important result of that characteristic is that only in the recent past have men learned how to grow it. A final difference is that its taste is too bitter to be used in cooking. Consider its Fascinating Background.This mushroom has been known and valued in the orient for thousands of years. In the best known ancient Chinese medical reference work Herbal Classics by Shen Nong, written at least two thousand years ago, it is the first herb listed and it is considered to be the most "superior" of them all.The superior designation was given to only a few herbs. All of those herbs were considered effective for: 
Of the herbs listed as superior, Lingzhi was considered the best. However it wasn't commonly available because it was only rarely found in the wild. It could usually only be found growing on two or three out of ten thousand dead tree stumps. Consequently only the kings and emperors were usually able to have access to it. That is how it came to be called "the medicine of kings".Although the list of things it is known to help seem a little incredible, all of the research and literature I've been able to find on this mushroom agree that it can accomplish these results in the human body. I will try to summarize to avoid this page becoming a book! Understand Researched Benefits.It...
It has been used to successfully treat...Although studies have shown it works to overcome all of these health challenges, researchers have not been able to discover exactly how it works. They do know that all the components of Lingzhi work better together, then they do alone, because when testing different extracts separately, they don't get the same results. Most believe it works in a generalized way on the glandular systems of the body and on the neuroendocrine system as well. Get a Supplement that will WorkAccording to Wikipedia, preparation is very important to get the benefits from Lingzhi. For the nutrients to work in the body, the mushroom should be chopped or sliced and then added to boiling water. The heat should then be lowered and the herb should be simmered for at least two hours.The "tea" can then be used as an extract, or dehydrated and used as a powder or in capsule form. If it is not prepared in this way, it is believed the active components remain unavailable to the body. Avoid Potential Side EffectsThe only side effects that have been noted have been with long term usage. It has been reported that if Lingzhi is used regularly for more than four months it can cause dryness of the body's mucous membranes, stomach upset, or possibly nosebleed.These problems can be avoided by stopping usage for one month after every four months of regular usage. Effective Natural Treatment for CancerDr. Morishige, a Japanese Surgeon and member of the Linus Pauling Institute of medicine considers Lingzhi to be an effective cancer treatment and preventative if it is combined with high doses of Vitamin C. I mentioned this above, but wanted to emphasize it a little more since there are so few natural things that are even reported to help a person overcome the challenge of cancer.ConclusionIf you are struggling with some of the health challenges mentioned above, or if your health is just under par, you should consider trying Lingzhi. It is available from Vitacost, and they have several brands available. I've found both NSI and Planetary Formulas to be reliable brands.It is not a cheap herb, but neither is it prohibitively expensive. It is certainly cheaper then many conventional approaches to these serious health challenges would be. Return to Brain Health Supplements
