[What are the benefits of drinking Ganoderma water?]
1. Treatment of bronchial asthma and bronchitis
Drinking Ganoderma water every day for about a month will gradually restore health and ultimately cure bronchial asthma.
2. Treatment of neurasthenia
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Ganoderma has a good calming effect and can improve memory. Therefore, drinking Ganoderma water can effectively calm the nerves. In addition, it can help improve sleep quality and appetite. Symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and palpitations can also be relieved.
Traditional Chinese medicine tells us that Ganoderma has a strong regulating ability on the central nervous system, so it has a good sedative and calming effect. It is especially suitable for patients with neurasthenia or insomnia and excessive dreaming. In ancient China, Ganoderma was widely used as a sedative and tonic.

[Precautions]
1. Time restrictions
Not all times are suitable for taking Ganoderma. Experts suggest that patients should not take it before or after surgery for one week. In addition, patients who are experiencing heavy bleeding should avoid taking it to avoid endangering their lives.
2. Pregnant women should not use it
Most Ganoderma products on the market contain certain additives, and air and water pollution are serious. After three months, the fetus's body has formed, so the damage to the fetus after taking Ganoderma is not significant.
It is recommended that pregnant women start taking Ganoderma after the early stages of pregnancy. This not only reduces the nutritional impact on the fetus but also helps prevent various pregnancy-related diseases.
3. Avoid long-term use
Ganoderma is not a medicinal herb that can be taken for a long time. If Ganoderma is used as a medicine, it must be taken for more than a month to see better results. If it is used for anti-aging purposes, it should be discontinued after three months of continuous use. After a break of about three months, it can be resumed for the best effects.
4. Timing and dosage
Many people have reported that they did not see any effect after taking Ganoderma. This is because they did not take it at regular intervals and in proper dosage. In general, after persistently taking Ganoderma for one to two weeks, problems can be effectively improved. Continuing to take it is necessary for the body to fully recover.
In addition, some people stop taking Ganoderma when they experience dizziness as a reaction. They also do not cooperate well with their daily diet and exercise, resulting in poorer results.
