Shiitake – Ganoderma lucidum

Shiitake is one of the world’s most widely consumed edible mushrooms. In Asia it is regarded as the “king of medicinal mushrooms” because of its ingredients.

In veterinary medicine it is mainly used for diseases of the musculoskeletal system. In joint diseases with thickenings of the joints, it promotes circulation and has a strong pain and anti-inflammatory effect. Deformations of the limbs recede slightly when ingested. It has a firming effect on the connective tissue, whereby vascular damage can be prevented.

Shiitake is also excellent for deworming stomach and intestinal worms. This was discovered by Wu Ri, a famous doctor of the Ming Dynasty.

Another field of application in mycotherapy is its regulating effect on the immune system. Shiitake is also used to treat circulatory disorders.

The shiitake contains various polysaccharides which have an anti-tumour effect on the organism.

There are positive experiences especially with leukaemia.

„Seit 27 Jahren leide ich unter einer Fettstoffwechselstörung. Schon als ich 18 war, bekam ich zu meinen Blutfettwerten zu hören: LDL und Triglyceride zu hoch, HDL zu niedrig. Ich kann kaum noch sagen, wie viele Medikamente ich seitdem zur Regulierung des Cholesterinspiegels eingenommen habe. Weil ich unter den Nebenwirkungen litt, musste ich immer wieder zu einem anderen Präparat wechseln. Zufällig erfuhr ich von einem Bekannten mit ähnlichen Problemen vom Shiitake-Pilz. Nach zweimonatiger Einnahme der Shiitake-Kapseln haben sich meine Blutfettwerte deutlich verbessert.”
