Does Lingzhi cause internal heat?

Ganoderma lucidum can cause internal heat, mainly because it is a hot food ingredient. It can nourish yin and kidney and promote body recovery, but taking too much can cause internal heat, so friends with hot constitution should be careful not to take Ganoderma lucidum water. If you experience excessive heat after taking Ganoderma lucidum, you should drink more water and get more rest. You also need to adjust your diet and control your intake of hot foods.

Lingzhi can increase or reduce internal heat

Ganoderma lucidum is relatively mild in nature and will not cause internal heat if taken normally. Because of normal consumption, it has no advantages when eaten as food, just like other mushrooms. On the contrary, its texture will affect the taste. It is not as good as the shiitake mushrooms we usually eat, and it will not cause internal heat.

How to prevent getting angry after eating Lingzhi?

Some people will experience symptoms of excessive heat after taking Ganoderma lucidum, such as many heat sores in the nasal cavity, lips, etc., or dry, red eyes, increased eye discharge, and even dry and sore throat, constipation, or bloody stools. The above symptoms are caused by taking fresh Ganoderma lucidum. Due to the limitations of existing production technology, newly produced Ganoderma lucidum always contains some fire poison. Therefore, taking fresh Ganoderma lucidum can cause people to have hyperactivity of fire and various symptoms of poisoning. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, newly made Ganoderma lucidum should not be taken for human consumption. It must be placed in a dry place for more than three years until the fire poison has dissipated on its own before it can be taken.

Pure Ganoderma lucidum itself does not cause internal heat. Internal heat is caused by the auxiliary medicines added during the production and consumption process. In order to enhance the efficacy of stewed Ganoderma lucidum, it is often soaked in rice wine, which contributes to internal heat. Ganoderma lucidum contains a high content of amino acids, and absorbing the nutrients of Ganoderma lucidum requires the consumption of vitamins, which is also one of the causes of internal heat.

Just like aged wine tastes better, Ganoderma lucidum also tastes better when it is aged. Store the newly purchased Ganoderma lucidum in a cool and airtight place. Newly made Ganoderma lucidum always contains some fire poison, which will disappear on its own over time. Compared with new Ganoderma lucidum, old Ganoderma lucidum is more mild in nature (neither warm nor cold), and some people will not get a sore throat even if they take it for a long time. If you usually get a sore throat after eating Ganoderma lucidum, do not put too many tonic herbs when cooking Ganoderma lucidum, or use sugarcane juice instead of water to stew Ganoderma lucidum, as sugarcane juice is cooler; or use duck eggs, especially green-skinned duck eggs, instead of eggs when stewing Ganoderma lucidum, which is suitable for people who are easily prone to getting a sore throat after eating Ganoderma lucidum.

If you experience symptoms such as hot hands and feet, irritability, etc. during the period of taking the medicine, it may be due to yin deficiency in your constitution. You can use 60 grams of black beans to make a soup, and then take it together with the stewed Ganoderma lucidum. When eating Ganoderma lucidum, we should choose light food as much as possible, especially sugar should be eaten as little as possible or not at all. Radish and garlic are taboos and must not be eaten.
