Ling Zhi, the modern medical aspiration - Modern studies from Japan backed the findings of the Chinese medica. Researchers found that Ling Zhi contains high content of Germanium, Complex Polysaccharides and Triterpenoids. Its Germanium content is 4 to 6 times higher than Ginseng. All of these substances are known to be effective for strengthening the immune system and restoring normal bodily functions. Ling Zhi attracted medical attention for its benefits for those suffering from a variety of symptoms and illnesses:

1.        Chronic Bronchitis, Asthma

2.        Neurasthenia, Insomnia, Amnesia

3.        Primary Hypertension and Hypotension

4.        Coronary heart diseases, Arrhythmia

Wild Ling Zhi in Natural Habitat - Chinese doctors have long stressed the importance of harvesting Ling Zhi in its natural habitat. However, Ling Zhi is very selective of its environment and can only be found in the deepest part of untamed mountain forests. Due to its rarity, most of the products in the present market are made from artificially cultivated Ling Zhi. These Ling Zhi are grown in green houses and are harvested one year after germination. Not only are wild Ling Zhi darker in color, stronger in aroma and harder than cultivated Ling Zhi, many of the complex and active ingredients in the wild Ling Zhi cannot be found in cultivated Ling Zhi.
