At the Two Sessions, discussions on disease prevention were particularly vigorous. Many deputies spoke out enthusiastically, calling for the establishment of a comprehensive “preventive healthcare” system aimed at helping the general public stay healthy and reduce their incidence of illness.

 

       

In fact, as early as a thousand years ago, Traditional Chinese Medicine already proposed… “The superior doctor treats disease before it manifests; the intermediate doctor treats disease when it is still in its nascent stage; the inferior doctor treats disease once it has already taken hold.” This perspective reflects that even in ancient times, Chinese medical practitioners placed great emphasis on disease prevention and health preservation.

However, in today’s world, the mindset of “spending not a single penny on health maintenance, yet shelling out tens of thousands to see a doctor” remains widespread. Before illness strikes, many people neither take preventive care seriously nor even have a clear understanding of it.

Most people are, in fact, in a state of “pre-illness” or “on the cusp of illness.”

In today’s society, most of us actually find ourselves in a state that lies between health and illness—what is commonly referred to as “subhealth.” Those with inherently weak constitutions, high levels of stress, or rapidly declining physical functions are often the ones who feel this condition most acutely.

Meanwhile, due to irregular daily routines and unhealthy diets, many people experience health issues to varying degrees, accounting for more than 70% of the total population.

The manifestations of “pre-illness” or “potential illness”

Physiological aspects:

These include drowsiness and easy sleepiness, generalized fatigue, a haggard appearance, lumbosacral pain, chest tightness and shortness of breath, dry skin, numbness in the limbs, facial edema, hair loss, excessive sweating, decreased sexual function, and an irregular heartbeat.

Psychological aspects:

These include memory impairment, difficulty concentrating, mental fatigue, restlessness, and frequent vivid dreams accompanied by easy startle responses.

Why should you take Lingzhi even when you’re not yet sick?

The Shennong Bencaojing refers to Lingzhi as “divine fungus”; during the Qin dynasty, it was known as “reviving‑yang herb”; and in the Eastern Han period, it was called “spiritual grass.” Though its names are imbued with a sense of mystique, they nonetheless highlight Lingzhi’s unique and distinguished status within the traditional Chinese medicine system.

It differs from ordinary medications in that it does not merely address and supplement deficiencies of a single nutrient.

Rather, it achieves a holistic, bidirectional regulation of the body’s functional balance, activates the body’s intrinsic vitality, and modulates metabolic processes, thereby enhancing immune function and promoting the normalization of visceral and organ functions.

Traditional Chinese Medicine holds that lingzhi enters the five meridians, tonifying the qi of all five internal organs. Therefore, it may be taken regardless of whether the heart, liver, or kidneys are weak. This mechanism of homeostatic regulation and immune enhancement in the human body is precisely what sets Lingzhi apart. It also makes lingzhi a “superior medicine” that can cure illness and strengthen the body when one is healthy.

Therefore, don’t wait until your body shows signs of illness before turning to Lingzhi to restore balance. By taking Lingzhi while you’re still in a “pre‑illness” state, you can boost your immune system and take proactive measures to better ward off disease.
