Ganoderma, also known as Reishi mushroom or Big Black Lingzhi, is an effective functional food which strengthens immunity and protects against diseases and infections. Furthermore, Ganoderma relieves rheumatism and asthma symptoms, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels while simultaneously supporting cellular regeneration.
Ganoderma polysaccharides are complex sugar molecules with proven biological activity. Isolation from various Ganoderma species can be achieved using either water extraction or acetone precipitation techniques.
Ingredients
Ganoderma lucidum has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine as an immune enhancer, treating diseases such as cancer, high blood pressure, hepatitis and nervous disorders. Additionally, this fungus has been noted for increasing energy and aiding with weight loss while having anti-aging properties and even featuring in skin care products! Additionally it comes in powder form supplements or sold as herbal tea.
Reishi tea is composed of dried reishi mushrooms or extracts combined together and mixed into hot water to produce an infusion that tastes of dried Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, but other varieties such as Hemlock varnish shelf Ganoderma Tsugae found east of the Rocky Mountains or Yellower Ganoderma Curtisii/Artichoke Mushroom Ganoderma Oregense can also be used.
Reishi mushrooms offer many health advantages and are widely used as remedies in Western cultures for everything from cancer to fatigue. Their molecule has been demonstrated to change genes within white blood cells, helping bolster immunity against infections while simultaneously strengthening liver function and potentially decreasing side effects from chemotherapy treatments as well as decreasing blood sugar levels and preventing diabetes.
Double extraction tincture is the best way to absorb all the water- and alcohol-soluble nutrients found in Reishi herb. Even simple cups of Reishi tea may have healthful benefits. There are numerous recipes online or even premade options in some supermarkets available for you.
Ganoderma, first described by Karsten in 1881, comprises more than 80 species used extensively in Chinese herbal medicine. This genus can easily be distinguished from others by its characteristic bracket-shaped fruit bodies which grow on tree trunks into fan or hoof shapes and double-walled basidiospores; Ganoderma remains one of the most frequently prescribed herbal medications throughout Asia while research continues into its potential benefits here in the west.
Preparation
Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) are an incredible natural healer that can be taken either medicinally or as supplements, serving to alleviate inflammation, strengthen immunity and balance blood pressure. Reishi is well known for its anti-inflammatory, immunity boosting, liver cleansing and blood pressure balancing properties as well as being antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal agents that have strong antiviral, bacterial, and fungal fighting capabilities. Added benefits of Reishi include being an aphrodisiac and helping promote fertility while being very soothing which alleviate insomnia; its use as tea form is particularly effective at relieving stress while improving sleep quality and increasing energy levels significantly.
Reishi tea is an easy herbal remedy to make and can be enjoyed year-round, hot or cold. In winter months it’s especially popular as a hot beverage to soothe away cold symptoms or as an invigorating nightcap drink. Reishi can be taken alone or combined with herbs like ginger for increased health benefits; its use during these colder months has proven especially helpful as prevention against bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory ailments; treating depression and anxiety has also proven successful.
Reishi tea is created by steeping dried reishi mushrooms in boiling water for approximately 30 minutes, producing a drink with its own distinctive flavor and numerous health benefits. Many people also add honey or lemon for extra taste and nutrition benefits, while foragers often opt for double extraction tincture to maximize its benefits.
This invention pertains to the field of health protection tea products and, more specifically, ganoderma jasmine scented tea. According to this invention, prepared Ganoderma Lucidum Black Tea contains more effectively separated components than existing Ganoderma Teas. Preparing this scented tea is far simpler than that of its conventional ganoderma tea counterpart. Furthermore, this product can improve immunity, delay senility and skin maintenance in humans while being highly cost-effective to make due to readily available raw materials – the final lucid ganoderma black tea produced is delicious with an excellent mouthfeel!
Storage
Ganoderma lucidum, commonly referred to as Reishi, is a polypore mushroom cultivated for its health benefits in Eastern cultures. As an adaptogen it reduces stress and increases longevity while being used as treatment for cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol and liver diseases as well as to promote cell growth and increase immunity – as well as helping with stress reduction and depression prevention.
Ganoderma contains over 80 species worldwide and typically grows in decaying logs or tree stumps. Commonly referred to as red reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), and “zizhi” (“Ganoderma sinense), this fungus is believed to possess medicinal qualities and has long been used as part of traditional Chinese medicine; today it’s considered a modern functional food product.
Ganoderic acids and triterpenoids make up the core components of Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms in the Ganodermataceae family, and their fruiting bodies. Apart from their antifungal activity, these bioactive molecules also possess multiple beneficial functions besides antifungal activity; including cell cytotoxicity, autophagy and antiosteoclastic differentiation activity. They can even suppress leukemia cell proliferation while inhibiting tumor growth as well as increasing immune function in mice.
Researchers conducted a study where they discovered ganodermin is a 15-KD protein isolated from G. lucidum fruiting bodies that inhibits mycelial growth by Botrytis cinerealis, Fusarium oxysporum, and Physalospora piricola with respective inhibitory concentration values of 15.2, 12.4 and 18.1 microMolar. Furthermore, it significantly enhanced learning and memory in sleep-deprived rats models using this compound.
Researchers employed ultrasonic-assisted extraction to isolate Ganoderma’s ganoderic acid and triterpenes. Once extracted samples were dissolved in ACN-water for reverse phase chromatography using HPLC instrument, HILIC profiles were then compared against standards to help distinguish sample origin and species. They discovered that by altering MP composition, salt type and concentration, column temperature, injection solvent type and elution time leading to different peaks which led them to data clustering concluding HILIC profiles can help identify samples.
Recipe

Ganoderma is a polypore fungi belonging to the family Ganodermataceae with over 80 species worldwide. Also referred to as shelf mushrooms or bracket fungi, these organisms form fan-like structures on either living or dead trees with double-walled basidiospores that cover large surface areas.
Ganoderma lucidum, commonly referred to in China and Japan as Lingzhi, Reishi or Manetake; Gojira in Japan has long been revered for its vitality-enhancing properties and was listed in China’s early herbal pharmacy known as Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing as an essential remedy.
Reishi has been shown to possess anti-tumor, antiviral, and immunomodulatory properties. Furthermore, it can improve cardiovascular health by decreasing cholesterol levels while simultaneously increasing good “HDL” cholesterol. Furthermore, Reishi can help decrease high blood sugar and increase insulin sensitivity.
Reishi contains several primary bioactive ingredients, including triterpenoids ganoderic acid and lucidenic acid, that have multiple biological activities such as antitumour, antiviral, immune modulatory and anti-aging activities.
Reishi mushrooms have long been studied for their medicinal properties. Studies have demonstrated their ability to reduce stress and depression, strengthen immunity against oxidative damage, prevent cancer, improve liver health, promote cardiovascular and renal functions and extend life in experimental animals. Reishi is widely researched by scientists worldwide for its potential medical uses; recent scientific investigations reveal it as a natural treatment option for multiple neurological conditions including stroke, multiple sclerosis, ALS and Parkinson’s disease as well as treating certain forms of muscular dystrophy such as polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
