Temporary Reactions

Some people may experience temporary negative reactions after taking this herb for a few days. This is more obvious for those with serious chronic illnesses. And this is the most misunderstood aspect of this herb.

“The opposition effect reaction”:

A concept in Chinese medicine: the symptoms will become worse before they become better, because the causes of the diseases are being eliminated. After taking Ganoderma for three days, slight opposition effect reaction may result. It is not side effect. Please continue to use. It is just a result of its efficacy and the reaction will be diffetent for each individual.

Not everyone will experiencethis reaction, as it depends on the amounts of toxins in the body that are being eliminated. In general, one who has a hypertensive constitution, or who takes large amounts of chemical drugs will easily have such a reaction.

Sometimes, uriticaria may appear on the face or the body, or even in the mouth. Also one may have edema, diarrhea, stomachache, fever tinnitus, blood pressure variation and increased excertion. These are not side effects. Do not worry. Continue to use. The symptoms will lessen or disappear ver soon.

Some phenomena resulting from herbal medicine or alimentary therapeutics are considered as side effect of the drug. Actually when these symptoms occur the disease will be cured gradually. Someone even emphasized, “No opposition effect reaction, no cure.”
