Ling-chih is
a
mild
medicine. In
application,
it
is
often
used to treat asthma,
neurasthonia,
insomnia,
hypertension,
coronary heart
disease,
hypercholester-
olemia,
acute
hepatitis, chronic bronchitis,
silicosis, rheumatic arthritis
and ageing.
Nowadays.
Ling-chih
is
becoming
more
common and
is
taken
as a
health food.
Regular taking
of
Ling-chih
can help
strengthen one's immune
system
and
ensure
longevity.
In
the
book
"Chinese
Ling-chih"
(
+E@Z)
,
it
is
recorded
that
there
are
4l
species
of Ling-chih in
China,
whereas
"Hong Kong
Fungi"
(
6#HH
),
has
recorded
13 species
in
Hong
Kong.
As
it
is not easy
to identify
individual
species,
it
is not
advisable to
collect
Ling-chih from
the
countryside
for
self medication.
