In our current life, many of our friends pay more attention to their own health. Using some Chinese herbal medicine to maintain health is also a very good way to maintain health. Everyone is familiar with Ganoderma lucidum. It is a very good Chinese medicinal material. When using it to maintain your health in life, you must pay attention to some methods and taboos. Today, the editor will introduce it to you in detail!

Ganoderma lucidum can preserve soup, so it must be put in a small amount. It is best to stew it with a pair of chicken. It cannot be eaten in summer because it is too hot and people are afraid of getting a sore throat. Ganoderma lucidum, whose full name is Ganoderma lucidum, according to my country's first medicine monograph "Shennong's Herbal Classic", there are six types of Ganoderma lucidum: purple, red, green, yellow, white and black. However, modern literature and specimens seen are mostly the whole plant of Ganoderma lucidum or Ganoderma lucidum of the Polymycetes family. Sweet and mild in nature. Ganoderma lucidum mainly contains ergosterol, organic acids, glucosamine, polysaccharides, resins, mannitol and polysaccharides, as well as bioalkaloids, lactones, coumarins, water-soluble proteins and various enzymes.

Animal pharmacology experiments show that Ganoderma lucidum has an inhibitory effect on the nervous system, lowers blood pressure and strengthens cardiac contractility on the circulatory system, and has an expectorant effect on the respiratory system. In addition, it also has liver protection, immune function enhancement, and antibacterial effects. It is mainly used to treat fatigue, cough, asthma, insomnia, indigestion, malignant tumors, etc. The Shennong's Herbal Classic lists Ganoderma lucidum as a top-grade product, saying that purple Ganoderma lucidum "cures deafness, benefits joints, protects the spirit and improves essence, strengthens tendons and bones, improves complexion, and long-term consumption makes the body light and prolongs life." It also says that red Ganoderma lucidum "cures chest knots, benefits heart qi, replenishes the middle and increases wisdom and memory, and long-term consumption makes the body light and prolongs life and becomes immortal.

In recent years, the research on Ganoderma Lucidum has sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and there are many clinical reports, which can be summarized into the following aspects:

(1) Treatment of chronic bronchitis: Take Ganoderma lucidum tablets, 3 times a day, 1 tablet each time (the content is equivalent to 0.5 grams of the raw drug), or use Ganoderma lucidum tincture (20% concentration), 3 times a day, 10 ml each time (the daily amount is equivalent to 6 grams of the raw drug). It usually takes 15 to 30 days to start to take effect.

(2) Treatment of bronchial asthma: Children should receive intramuscular injection of 1-2 ml (each ml contains 0.5-1 g of crude drug) daily for about 1 month.

(3) Treat leukocytopenia. 52 cases of leukocytopenia caused by chemical, physical, drug and chronic diseases have been treated. The recent effective rate is 84.6%, and the average total white blood cell count has increased to 1028/cubic millimeter. A course of treatment is 10 to 20 days.

(4) Treatment of coronary heart disease: The relief rate for angina pectoris, precordial fullness, or tightness is about 72%, and the improvement rate for symptoms such as palpitations and shortness of breath is about 65%. More than half of the patients reported that their appetite, sleep, and spirits improved during the medication period, and it has a good effect in lowering blood triglycerides.

(5) Treatment of arrhythmias: In the process of using Ganoderma lucidum to treat coronary heart disease, it was found that as the coronary heart disease improved, the accompanying arrhythmias also improved and disappeared. Therefore, Ganoderma lucidum injection was used to treat various arrhythmias and achieved certain results.

(6) It is more effective in treating acute viral hepatitis than traditional "liver protection" drugs. In addition, it is also used to treat atrophic gastritis, malignant tumors, etc. It can be seen from this that most of the diseases that can be treated with Ganoderma lucidum are senile, stubborn and degenerative diseases.

Two points should be noted when taking:

(1) Grind into powder or soak in wine for oral administration, 2 to 3 grams each time. Nowadays, it is mostly changed to tablets, 3 to 4 tablets each time, 3 times a day, or injection, intramuscular injection, 1 to 2 times a day. Avoid excessive dosage, as experiments have shown that excessive dosage may cause side effects and may even kill animals.

(2) Long-term use. If you want to cure a disease, it usually takes more than 1 month. If you want to prevent aging and prolong life, you should take the medicine for more than 3 months, stop for 3 months, and then take it again. This intermittent medication method will have a better effect.

Through the detailed introduction above, I think everyone now has a clearer understanding of the nutritional effects of Ganoderma lucidum. Although Ganoderma lucidum is a very good Chinese medicinal material, when we use it in life, we must use the correct method and pay attention to some taboos. Otherwise, improper use may also have a certain impact on our health.
