King of Adaptogens

King of Adaptogens One of nature’s great mysteries is the adaptogenic quality of certain plants. Key word – adapt. Imagine a plant that is able to provide you with the right healing nudge, in the right amount, at the right time, in the right direction. Science has not been able to duplicate this confounding yet therapeutic action in any pharmaceutical agent.  Only one in 300 herbs is an adaptogen. Rhodiola rosea, Eleuthero (once known as Siberian ginseng) and Astragalus are high potency adaptogenic herbs that are known in Traditional Chinese Medicine for giving you what you need: enhancing energy you if you’re stagnant, calming you if you’re irritable and wired. An adaptogenic botanical for blood pressure will help reduce it for those with high blood pressure, and yet, taken by someone else with low blood pressure, the plant offers a gentle boost. An adaptogen for cholesterol will help boost the good (HDL) without raising the bad (LDL) cholesterol. Red Reishi is n...

SCIENCE AND REASEARCH OF GANODERMA SCIENCE AND REASEARCH OF GANODERMA   SCIENCE AND REASEARCH OF GANODERMA   The table from HOBBS (1995), which I placed on the home page, lists a multitude of in vitro and in  Vivo effects, executed by Ganoderma lucidum. Here on the info page I will try to discuss scientific evidence as much as possible for each indication, listed on the HOBBS's table. The discussion will be in a commonly understandable language, in order to make non-scientists comprehend the important findings of Gano research activities. For more and better access to the upcoming information I recommend the following medical online  dictionaries (sometimes it is hard to avoid specific terms) for additional explanation of medical and    Scientific keywords: Analgesic effects So far I only know 1 study which deals with the question of pain relieving properties of Ganoderma.  Koyama et.al. published their findings in the Planta Med. ...

Ganotherapy

Ganotherapy   In the body, all the five active elements of Ganoderma act in synergy (coordination) to bring in total health, which is the basis of   GANOTHERAPY.   Ganoderma, when consumed, reaches all the cells in the body due to its unique quality of being an Adaptogen. Then the following five steps of health improvement take place.  SCANNING :  During this process, the body cells are checked for Toxins and Inactivity. Most of these kinds of defects at the cell level are reported by way of REFLECTIONS through the external organs like eyes, nose , ear etc. This is just a diagnostic phase which normally occurs within 6 weeks of starting Ganotherapy and lingers for about 5~7 days. DETOXIFICATION ( CLEANSING ):  (8 – 30 weeks) During this phase, the unwanted / harmful matters (called the toxins) are removed from the body. The body using its own natural excretory mechanism, which is activated by Ganoderma, carries out this process. This phase takes place f...
