Alpine Ganoderma Lucidum

Alpine Ganoderma Lucidum

　　Located in Mainling County along the middle and lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, the area enjoys moderate rainfall and a warm climate. Beneath the lush evergreen oak forests, one can find a uniquely shaped and distinctly colored medicinal fungus — Ganoderma lucidum — growing on thin soil covering the roots of dead trees.

Since ancient times, ganoderma has been renowned as a precious medicinal herb both domestically and abroad. According to current clinical practice and relevant reports, ganoderma has tonic, invigorating, qi-benefiting, spirit-calming, stomach-strengthening, liver-nourishing, and detoxifying effects. It shows certain efficacy in treating chronic conditions such as neurasthenia, insomnia, chronic bronchitis, coronary heart disease, chronic hepatitis, and nephritis. In recent years, some medical research institutions have found ganoderma to be quite effective in preventing and treating high-altitude maladaptation syndrome during their studies on medications for this condition.
