What is Ganotheraphy?

In the world today, majority of the population are in the state of 'pre-illness' due to environmental pollution, stresses and unhealthy lifestyle such as consuming diets which are high in fats, cholesterol, sugar, salt and chemical additives. Under these circumstances, it is wise to prevent any deterioration in health rather than seek a cure after illness prevails as the saying goes: “Prevention is better than cure.”
Ganotherapy is one of the holistic approached to alternative complementary medicine. The underlying belief is that our body is the best doctor. Our body immune system when at its optimum condition is able to fight numerous diseases at one time, knowing the priority and without having side effects. All we see or feel is the reactions as it gets rid of the toxins and cure the illnesses. In Ganotherapy, it uses Ganoderma extracts from the fruit body and its mycelium to gain health.

The 4 basic principles of Ganotherapy are:
1. Illnesses are caused by 2 sources; Toxins in our body and disharmony in body functions.
2. Ganoderma does not cure illness, but it helps to balance up our body system and improve immunity against diseases.
3. Any reaction that takes place is caused by our body system and not by the intake of Ganoderma.
4. The dosage of Ganoderma taken is irrelevant to diseases.
