　　Ganoderma has long been regarded as a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, beauty, and longevity, earning the titles “herb of immortality” and “auspicious herb.” Traditional Chinese medicine has long valued it as a precious herbal remedy for nourishing strength, building up the body’s foundation, and restoring vitality.

　　Folklore claims that ganoderma can revive the dying and grant eternal youth. The well-known and widely circulated myth “Legend of the White Snake” depicts the White Maiden stealing the celestial herb to save Xu Xian. Two thousand years ago, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the “Shennong Bencao Jing” (The Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica) classified ganoderma as a top-grade herb, stating that “long-term consumption lightens the body, prevents aging, and prolongs life like that of an immortal.”

　　The “Compendium of Materia Medica” compiled by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty records: Ganoderma tastes bitter, is neutral in nature, and is non-toxic. It benefits heart qi, activates blood circulation, enriches heart blood, supports heart vessels, calms the spirit, benefits lung qi, nourishes liver qi, strengthens the middle (digestive) system, enhances wisdom, improves complexion, benefits joints, strengthens tendons and bones, expels phlegm, and strengthens the stomach. Modern medicine has proven that ganoderma contains various physiologically active substances that can regulate and enhance human immunity, and it has beneficial therapeutic effects on neurasthenia, rheumatoid arthritis, coronary heart disease, hypertension, hepatitis, diabetes, and tumors. Latest research indicates that ganoderma also has anti-fatigue, beauty-enhancing, anti-aging, and AIDS-prevention properties.
