Why do some people develop symptoms such as a dry mouth, irritability and constipation after taking Lingzhi?
This can be explained by the body reaction (not side effect) of taking Lingzhi or simply as a natural process of illness reversal. Lingzhi improves one’s health state, replenishes fluids and electrolytes and enhances the detoxification process. Therefore, one should not worry if symptoms begin to appear. If the paradoxical effects are particularly severe, discontinuing the supplement is recommended for a short time. After that intake may be resumed with plenty of water and fluids until the effects have decreased. When that occurs, you are on the path to recovery.
