Wild Ganoderma Applanatum

Wild Ganoderma applanatum 

General Features

Ganoderma has been recognized as a medicinal mushroom for over 2000 years, and its powerful effects have been documented in ancient script, so traditionally Ganoderma is highly regarded as an herbal treatment and is claimed to alleviate or cure virtually all diseases. The above-ground part and portions of the below-ground parts are used as medicine 

Chemical Content

Ganoderma applanatum is a perennial fungus that releases millions of spores during the course of its annual growth cycle

It is comprised of roughly 400 different phytochemicals. This fungus is rich in triterpenes which gives the herb its bitter taste and, it is believed, confers on it various health benefits, such as lipid-lowering and antioxidant effects. It also contains bioactive triterpenes and polysaccharides that are being investigated for possible hepatoprotective, anti-cancer, immune-modulating, hypoglycemic, anti-fibrotic and antioxidant properties

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to treat indigestion, excess phlegm, pain and reduce heat 

Therapeutic Application 

This mushroom is traditionally consumed as a tea or a water-based extract. Its flavor can change depending on its host tree. It has been said that using G. applantum provides energetic warmth, so beside the good effects of Ganoderma on patients with cancer, taking this mushroom powder reduces tiredness in people with breast cancer

Men with enlarged prostates often have urinary symptoms. Taking this mushroom extract can improve some urinary symptoms such as the need to urinate often or immediately

This extract can also reduce the number and size of these tumors

Taking a mixture of Ganoderma mushroom and other ingredients helps to reduce the time needed for herpes outbreaks to heal

Another study revealed that although taking this mushroom does not shrink lung tumors, but it seems to improve immune function and quality of life in people with lung cancer

Some people report that hot water extracts of Ganoderma decrease pain when conventional treatment does not work

In some studies, G. applanatum has been observed to demonstrate strong anti-fibrotic effects. These anti-fibrotic agents are said to block or prevent tissue scaring, causing regression of fibrosis
