Chinese mushrooms

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) are also known by various names. In Japan Kord mannentake, in China Ling zhi, in Poland as glowing lacquers. The taste of Reishi is sweet, sometimes slightly bitter. They exhibit strong anticancer effects. These mushroots have beneficial effects on the heart, lungs and liver, strengthen the kidneys and fight canker sores. They have a positive effect on the structure of hair. Shiitake Unikato also suggests that the properties of this mushroom help to restore the strength and vitality of the body.

Chinese mushrooms use

Chinese medicinal mushrooms have been recognized as adaptogens herbal medicines that combat the harmful effects of stress, improve health and well-being, and improve physical fitness.
