"a time to every purpose"

 

 

 It was bound to happen. Given the brilliant technology that now surrounds the fields of alternative health and the global development of healthy foods, the formulation of a "healthy coffee" was inevitable. In fact that developmental process began over 10 years ago in Malaysia and has now mushroomed (every pun intended) into a $100 million global empire.

  The global giant is known as Gano Excel. And though it is a company that is devoted to the research, development and marketing of an entire family of wellness products and a completely defined healthy lifestyle, it's fundamental product line is a unique blend of wellness as we know it.

  With more than a decade of in-depth research and development behind Ganoderma Lucidum's phenomenal nutritional qualities, Gano Excel has also been able to apply that same kind of molecular research to interlink it with all the best aspects of Brazilian blends of coffees.

  The result is an entire family of products that are as exceptional in taste, touch and aroma and flavor as they are imbued with an exceptional interaction of powerful nutritional components that has become the buzz of the wellness industry.

Reishi 
Reishi is one of the greatest tonic herbs on earth. It has been used since the dawn of time as a superb “protector” and Shen tonic. It is now known to be an immune modulator and potent antioxidant.

Recent Research
• Reishi has anti-stress activity.
• Reishi has a mild tranquilizing effect on the central nervous system.
• Reishi may improve sleep.
• Reishi is an immune potentiator.
• Reishi has been found to improve the functioning of the immune system whether the immune system is deficient or excessive. It is an immune "modulator" – that is, it helps to modulate, or regulate the immune system.
• Chemical constituents known as polysaccharides play an important role in strengthening the body's overall immune functions.
• Ganoderic acids in Reishi inhibit histamine release, improve oxygen utilization and improve liver functions.
• Ganoderic acids are potent antioxidant free-radical scavengers.
• Reishi may improve the physical condition of the cardiovascular system.
• Reishi stimulates the production of interferon and interleukins I and II, potent natural immunity-boosting substances produced in our own bodies.

Traditional Uses
• Reishi tonifies Jing, Qi and Shen.
• Protects the entire body. Nurtures the Heart*, protects the Liver*.
• Reishi has traditionally been used as an anti-aging herb.
• The Chinese have traditionally claimed that Reishi promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, inner awareness and inner strength. They have used it to improve meditative practices and to protect the body, mind and spirit so that the adept could attain both a long and healthy life.
• Deep in antiquity, Reishi was routinely used by mountain hermits, monks, Taoist adepts and spiritual seekers throughout Asia because it was believed to help calm the mind, ease tension, strengthen the nerves, strengthen memory, sharpen concentration, improve focus, build will power and, as a result, help build wisdom. That is why it was called the "Mushroom of Spiritual Potency" by these seekers.
• Reishi mushroom is revered in Asia as a tonic herb consumed for the attainment of radiant health, longevity and spiritual attainment.

*When the organ name refers to the traditional Chinese concept of that organ-function, the organ-function name is capitalized. When a name refers to the conventional western definition of an organ, it is not capitalized.

History

History
Ganoderma was first described more than 2400 hundred years ago during the Shu Dynasty. The first detailed description was written in Shen Nong's Herbal, attributed to the legendary herbalist-emperor Shen Nong (Han Dynasty, 206 B.C.~ 8 AD). Reishi was classified by Shen Nong as a superior herb that may be taken continuously without side effects. A "superior herb" was defined as a substance that serves to maintain life, causes no side effects by continuous use, and promotes radiant health and long life by helping to harmonize the functions of the body, mind and spirit.

Shen Nong said of Reishi that "if eaten customarily, it makes your body light and young, lengthens your life and turns you into one like the immortal (a Taoist hermetic adept) who never dies."

Specifically, regarding Red Reishi (which is the variety that is prevalent today), Shen Nong said:

"The taste is bitter, its atmospheric energy is neutral, it has no toxicity, it cures (removes) the accumulation of pathogenic factors in the chest, it is good for the Qi (functional activities) of the heart including mental activities, it tonifies the Spleen, increases wisdom, improves memory so that you won't forget, long-term consumption will lighten your body, you will never become old, it lengthens years, it has spiritual power, and it develops Shen so that you become a "spirit-being" like the immortals."

The first Emperor of the Chin Dynasty, sometime around 214 BC heard rumor that the "herb of immortality," which was considered to be one and the same as Ganoderma, grew abundantly in the "Eastern Paradise." The Emperor sent 500 men and 500 women (the women being selected for their beauty), by ship to find this mystical island and its magical herb. The party never returned, but legend asserts they landed in Japan and colonized the island.

Reishi was further immortalized as the ultimate healing substance and spiritual herb of China in the classic Chinese fairy tale, "The White Snake," wherein a magical Reishi is stolen from the gods by a magical female being in order to save the life of her human lover. The celestial battle for the Reishi rivals the battles portrayed in Homer's Iliad and is a story known by virtually every Chinese.

In the 16th Century pharmacopoeia Ben Cao Gang Mu, which contains hundreds of natural medicines the Chinese have used for thousands of years, compiler Li Shi Chen described the uses of Reishi. "It benefits the life energy, or qi of the heart, repairing the chest area and benefiting those with a knotted and tight chest." He wrote that it also increases intellectual capacity and banishes forgetfulness. "Taken over a long period of time, agility of the body will not cease, and the years are lengthened to those of the Immortal Fairies."

Reishi can be seen depicted everywhere in Asian art, architecture and design. Paintings, embroideries, buildings, sculpture and carvings of the gods and immortals virtually always included Reishi as a symbol of the divine, as a symbol of longevity and good luck. Reishi was a favorite ornamental design feature of the royalty and the wealthy, sometimes as much for good luck as for its actual health benefits. Depiction's of Reishi are seen everywhere in the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace in Beijing, a testimony to how highly valued it was everywhere in Chinese society throughout history. Even the traditional scepter of the emperors of China was a stylized Reishi, called a Ru Yi. Undoubtedly, the first scepter was indeed a real Reishi. There is a display in the Summer Palace of the history of the imperial scepter. It displays scepters back to deep antiquity, and sure enough the earliest existent scepters were precise wooden copies of a Reishi mushroom. Traditionally in China, Ganoderma was considered to be among the most valuable possessions a new bride could bring into a marriage because of its many benefits.
