Animal pharmacology shows that Ganoderma lucidum has inhibitory effect on nervous system, circulatory system has the function of lowering blood pressure and strengthening cardiac contractility, and has expectorant effect on respiratory system. In addition, it also has the functions of protecting liver, improving immune function and resisting bacteria.
Indications: fatigue, cough, asthma, insomnia, dyspepsia, malignant tumor, etc.
Shen Nong's Classic of Materia Medica lists Ganoderma lucidum as the top grade, saying that Zizhi is "responsible for deafness, benefiting joints, keeping the spirit and essence, strengthening bones and muscles, and having good color. If you take it for a long time, you will not get old." It is said that Chizhi "is responsible for the knot in the chest, benefiting the heart, supplementing the middle and increasing wisdom, not forgetting, eating for a long time, not getting old, and prolonging life." In recent years, the research on Ganoderma lucidum has mushroomed, and there are many clinical reports, which can be summarized as follows:
(1) Treatment of chronic bronchitis: take Lingzhi tablet three times a day, each time 1 tablet (the content is equivalent to 0.5g of crude drug), or use Ganoderma tincture (20% concentration) three times a day, each time10ml (the daily amount is equivalent to 6g of crude drug), generally/kl.
(2) Treatment of bronchial asthma: intramuscular injection of 1 ~ 2ml (each ml contains 0.5 ~1g crude drug) every day for children, and continuous injection of1month or so.
(3) Treating leukopenia. 52 cases of leukopenia caused by various factors such as chemistry, physics, medicine and chronic diseases have been treated. The recent effective rate is 84.6%, and the total number of white blood cells has increased to1028/cubic millimeter on average. 10 ~ 20 days is a course of treatment.
(4) Treatment of coronary heart disease: The remission rate of angina pectoris, precordial distension or tightness is about 72%, and the improvement rate of symptoms such as palpitation and shortness of breath is about 65%. More than half of the patients reported that their appetite, sleep and spirit improved during taking the medicine, and lowering blood triglycerides had a good effect.
(5) Treatment of arrhythmia: In the process of treating coronary heart disease with Ganoderma lucidum, it was found that while the coronary heart disease improved, the accompanying arrhythmia also improved and disappeared, so Ganoderma lucidum injection was used to treat various arrhythmias and achieved certain results.
(6) Treating acute viral hepatitis is more effective than traditional "liver-protecting" drugs. In addition, it is also used to treat atrophic gastritis, malignant tumors and so on.
It can be seen that most of the diseases treated by Ganoderma lucidum are senile, intractable and degenerative diseases. Pay attention to two points when taking it:
(1) oral grinding or soaking in wine, 2 ~ 3g each time. In modern times, it is mostly changed to tablets, 3 ~ 4 capsules each time, 3 times a day, or injection, intramuscular injection, 0/~ 2 times a day. Do not overdo it, because experiments show that a large amount of it can cause side effects and kill animals.
(2) long service. If you treat a disease, it usually takes more than 1 month; If you want to prevent aging and prolong life, you should take it for more than 3 months, stop taking it for 3 months, and then take it intermittently, and the effect will be good.

Jujube tonic is taboo.
In the prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine, jujube is the most common medicine and food homologous prescription, and its blood-enriching effect has been passed down as a much-told story. Therefore, since the mature listing of jujube, it has once become a good fruit for people to buy. Many readers believe that jujube, as a tonic, must be beneficial for women to eat more. In fact, this assumption is not comprehensive.
Experts from the Department of Clinical Chinese Medicine, School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine pointed out that jujube is sweet and warm, and its main function is to tonify the middle energizer, nourish blood and soothe the nerves. It is mainly used for the treatment of spleen and stomach qi deficiency, blood deficiency and sallow, blood deficiency, insomnia and dreaminess. Drinking jujube water as usual can improve the pale face and cold hands and feet for women with anemia caused by excessive menstrual blood. Therefore, life is often favored by female friends.
However, experts also pointed out that the choice of jujube tonic is not suitable for all female friends. For example, during menstruation, some women often have swollen eyes or feet. In fact, this is a sign of wet weight, and such people are not suitable for taking red dates. This is because red dates are sweet, and eating more is easy to produce phlegm and dampness, which leads to the accumulation of water in the body and aggravates the symptoms of edema. At the same time, there are women who take red dates for tonic and are hot and dry, and they are not suitable for taking them during menstruation, because it may cause excessive menstrual blood and harm their health.
Although jujube is a good tonic, it is harmful to eat too much. Because eating too much fresh red dates is easy to cause diarrhea and will hurt the spleen, therefore, people who have a cold, fever and abdominal distension and qi stagnation caused by exogenous wind and heat belong to the group who avoid taking them. In addition, because jujube is rich in sugar, especially jujube made into snacks, it is not suitable for diabetics to take supplements, so as to avoid the increase of blood sugar and worsen the condition.
In fact, in addition to drinking taboos, we should also pay attention to eating methods: it is wise to eat in water, because it will not change the efficacy of tonic, but also avoid diarrhea caused by raw food.
