The reishi mushroom along with other mushrooms and plants, is widely used in Oriental medicine.

Reishi mushroom is the scientific name of Ganoderma lucidum. Reishi mushroom is a type of mushroom that often grows in tropical regions, especially in Asia. Nowadays, reishi mushroom has become popular and widely used in Oriental medicine because some molecules of the mushroom can affect human health.

Reishi mushroom can be consumed raw, but it is frequently processed into powder or extract.

Benefits of Reishi mushroom

1 Reishi mushroom improves the immune system

The first and most important effect of the reishi mushroom is to help strengthen the immune system because it can affect the genes in white blood cells, and some types of reishi mushrooms can even change the inflammatory process in white blood cells.

For cancer patients, the molecules in reishi mushrooms have the effect of increasing the activity of white blood cells, protecting the body against infectious agents, and fighting some types of cancer. Additionally, reishi mushrooms may increase white blood cell counts in patients with colorectal cancer.

In general, reishi mushrooms may enhance lymphocyte function, helping cancer patients fight infections and cancer.

2 Reishi mushroom has anti-cancer properties

Currently, many patients use Reishi mushroom because it has anti-cancer properties, destroying cancer cells such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and colon cancer.

In addition to its anti-cancer properties, reishi mushroom helps increase the activity of white blood cells, helping the body fight cancer and improve the quality of life of patients.

However, reishi mushrooms should only be used as a combination therapy with traditional treatments, not as a replacement and more quality research is needed on the effects of reishi mushrooms on cancer patients.

3 Reishi mushroom can fight fatigue and depression

Another common benefit of reishi mushrooms is to help reduce fatigue and depression, nervous breakdown (headache, dizziness), and improve quality of life.

4 Other benefits of reishi mushrooms

In addition, some outstanding effects of reishi mushrooms can be mentioned as follows:

Improving cardiovascular health: Using reishi mushrooms can increase “good” HDL cholesterol and reduce triglycerides in the blood, factors that are thought to be related to the risk of causing heart disease. However, to confirm the benefit of reishi mushrooms for heart health, more research is needed.

Controlling of blood sugar level: Molecules in reishi mushrooms have been found to reduce blood sugar levels, but it is unclear whether this is fasting or postprandial blood sugar. In some cases, the effect of reishi mushrooms on blood sugar control is worse than placebo.

Enhancing antioxidant effect: Many people believe that using reishi mushrooms helps increase antioxidant status in the body by supplementing antioxidants, which are molecules that can help prevent cell damage.
