Traditional Usage
Lingzhi is reputed to have many medicinal properties: it nourishes the heart and blood; pacifies the spirit; tonifies the chi; relieves coughing symptoms and supports weak digestion. Sweet and neutral in nature, it is suitable for all constitutions and has conventionally been consumed as a general tonic for health maintenance. Its specific applications include deficiency fatigue and insomnia, etc. The spores of the mushroom have particularly strong therapeutic effects as compared to the fruiting body; however, the outer casing of the spores is tough and indigestible, so must be cracked using advanced nanotechnology before coating them immediately to prevent oxidation and preserve the active chemicals.
