Benefits Of Ganoderma
Ganoderma is a genus of polypores that are found growing on the wood of various trees. The genus gandoderma is different from the other varieties of polypores due to the presence of double walled basidiospore. There are two sections of this genus, namely Ganoderma, which has a shiny cap surface for e.g. Ganoderma lucidum. The other is the Elfvingia, which has a dull cap surface, for e.g. Ganoderma applanatum. There are numerous benefits associated with the use of both varieties of gandoderma. Some of these benefits include:
Improves immunity.
Intake of gandoderma helps to enhance the immune system. The human body produces a large number of free radicals as a result of various metabolic reactions. Antioxidants present in gandoderma neutralize these harmful substances and protects the body from many diseases.
Improves the body balance.
An improvement in immune system aids in balancing the body. The body thus becomes capable of treating itself from many health problems. Gandoderma harmonizes the whole body and aids in maintaining body balance.
Improves the general health.
Ganoderma improves the general vitality of its users.
Beneficial for the skin.
The polysaccharides present in gandoderma provide protection against the degeneration of skin cells. It also helps to eliminate dead cells from the skin surface. This helps in improving skin texture and delays the appearance of aging. The presence of gandodermic essence makes gandoderma effective in relieving external problems like skin wounds, scrapes, psoriasis, stings, bug bites, mouth ulcers, sunburn, and external bleeding.
Increases oxygen
Organic germanium present in gandoderma helps to increase the amount of oxygen flowing in the blood. This helps to reduce fatigue and improves vitality.
Beneficial to the heart.
The intake of gandoderma helps to reduce body fat, cholesterol and aids in unclogging the fatty deposit from the arteries. The fragmentation of platelets causes blockages in the circulatory system and offers resistance to the flow of blood. Gandoderma prevents this fragmentation and thus allows free flow of blood. Thus, it is quite beneficial for the heart.
Beneficial to the respiratory system.
Compound Triterpenoid present in gandoderma relieves sinus congestion, inhibits allergies, and helps in treating common respiratory problems.
Balances blood sugar.
Due to the presence of polysaccharides such as Ganoderans A, B, and C, gandoderma helps in balancing blood sugar.
This hypoglycemic effect is due to its ability to increase plasma insulin levels, enhance tissue utilization of glucose, and increased glucose metabolism in the liver.
Due to the above mentioned benefits, gandoderma is known as the king of herbs. It does not cause any side effects to its users, regardless of the quantity and period of usage.
