HISTORY OF GANODERMA: Numerous studies of lingzhi, mainly in China, Korea, Japan and the United States, has shown its effectiveness in the treatment of a very wide range of diseases and symptoms. It is perhaps more comprehensible at this time, to explain lingzhi's "miraculous powers" from the traditional Chinese medicine point of view.
In the West, scientists have traditionally separated and classified each disease meticulously, and have specialized in each of them to such a degree that it seems as if each disease is autonomous and standing alone. Oriental medicine, resulting from knowledge accumulated through 4,000 years of human observation, asserts that health can be maintained by sustaining the right balance within the body and that diseases can be cured by restoring this balance through nutrition, including medicinal herbs, exercise and mental peace. Traditional oriental wisdom believes that a disease is but the mere tip of an iceberg, the result of the underlying imbalance of the body which must be restored.The "Seng Nong's Herbal Classic", a 2000-year old medicinal Chinese book, considered today as the oldest book on oriental herbal medicine, classifies 365 species of roots, grass, woods, furs, animals and stones into three categories of herbal medicine:
The first category, called "superior", includes herbs effective for multiple diseases and are mostly responsible for maintaining and restoring the body balance. They have no unfavorable side-effects.
The second category comprises tonics and boosters, for which their consumption must not be prolonged.
The third category must be taken, usually in small doses, and for the treatment of specific ailments only. Lingzhi ranked number one of the superior medicines, and was therefore the most exalted medicine in ancient times.
