"Lingzhi has been found to strengthen the respiratory system and to have a healing effect on the lungs, and is particularly beneficial for individuals with asthma, cough and other respiratory complaints. At least one population study conducted in the 1970s confirms this claim. When more the 2,000 Chinese with chronic bronchitis took lingzhi syrup, 60 to 90% felt better within two weeks and reported an improved appetite, according to an article entitled, Medicinal Mushrooms, written by Christopher Hobbs, and published in Herbs for Health, Jan/Feb 97."
I've been taking Reishi capsules for a while (from SwansonVitamins.com), after my asthma started getting worse, and I noticed how well my lungs have improved. I may look up this article, or others like it. Reishi is supposed to boost immune function and help with heart and cholesterol health, and help prevent some cancers.
Also, the mushroom itself tastes yummy.
