Answers:
Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is particularly beneficial for individuals with asthma and other respiratory complaints!. It has a healing effect on the lungs!. Reishi is good for respiratory strength and for coughing!. At least one population study confirms this claim!. When more than 2000 Chinese with chronic bronchitis took reishi syrup during the 1970s, within two weeks, 60 to 90% felt better and reported an improved appetite, according to "Medicinal mushrooms," by Christopher Hobbs, published in Herbs for Health, Jan/Feb 97!.
For four millenia, the Chinese and Japanese have used reishi mushroom as a medicine for liver disorders, hypertension, and arthritis!. Through in vitro and human studies, today's researchers have found that reishi has anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties!. In vitro experiments also indicate that reishi may help fight cancer tumors!. In addition, a protein isolated from reishi - Ling Zhi-8 - may reduce the risk of transplant rejection!.

Reishi mushroom also has non-material benefits!. Beinfield explains, "Reishi is said to elevate the spirit; it's a mood-elevating substance!." Traditionally, reishi is believed to help transform the individual into a more spiritual being!. Just as mushrooms transform decayed material on the ground into life-giving nourishment, reishi converts metabolic and psychic waster (hostility and other negative feelings), thereby raising the spirit and unshackling the mind!. Individuals can consume reishi every day to support immune function, peace of mind, and physical vigor!. Reishi is available in syrups, soups, teas, tinctures, tablets, and by injection!. Form and dosage should be decided with the help of a healthcare professional!.

Red Reishi is primarily composed of complex carbohydrates called water-soluble polysaccharides, triterpeniods, proteins and amino acids!. Researchers have identified that water-soluble polysaccharides are the most active element found in Red Reishi that have anti-tumour, immune modulating and blood pressure lowering effects!.

Another major active ingredient found in Red Reishi are triterpenes , called ganoderic acids!. Preliminary studies indicated that ganoderic acids help alleviate common allergies by inhibiting histamine release, improve oxygen utilization and improve liver functions!. Triterpenes are bitter in taste and the level of the triterpene content contained in a product can be determined by the bitterness!.

Regular consumption of red Reishi can enhance our body's immune system and improve blood circulation, thus improving better health conditions!. Generally, Reishi is recommended as an adaptogen, immune modulator, and a general tonic!. Red Reishi is also used to help treat anxiety, high blood pressure, hepatitis, bronchitis, insomnia, and asthma!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

The main benefits of Reishi are for immune system support and overall health and vitality!. Some people have reported energy from it and some have found it as a relaxant!.!.!. that part entirely depends on each person's system (if their immune system isn't very healthy, if there is something dragging them down, etc)!. But regardless of what your body needs, it will help boost the immune system!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
