Dendrobium officinale and Ganoderma lucidum

Both Dendrobium and Ganoderma are very nourishing Chinese medicines. Both are expensive because their growing environment is harsh, so picking them requires a lot of time and energy. In addition, the temperature and climate they need for planting are also strict. They usually grow in some steep places, and the older they are, the better they are. So which one is better for nourishing, Dendrobium or Ganoderma?

Dendrobium candidum and Ganoderma lucidum are relatively common medicinal foods

1. Boil water with Dendrobium candidum and Ganoderma lucidum

Usually we use dried Dendrobium officinale and Ganoderma lucidum together with Ophiopogon japonicus, Lycium barbarum and American ginseng to boil water to drink. The specific method is to put the several medicinal materials into a glass container according to the proportion, heat it on an induction cooker for more than 30 minutes, and then let it cool before drinking.

Fresh Dendrobium candidum strips are cold in nature and are not suitable for people with cold stomachs to drink in excess. Using dried strips can better solve this problem, and dried strips are easier to preserve. Wild red Ganoderma lucidum is too bitter and will ruin the taste, so we use purple Ganoderma lucidum. Wolfberry and red dates make the drink more delicious. If the taste is too bland, you can add a small amount of brown sugar to taste.
