Forum - Experiences » Gano-Soup Experience of MintZhi

I have a good friend, young in heart and with a lovely personality. We call her MintZhi. She wants to give Gano-Soup a try to get some of her energy back.

As many of us MintZhi freezes very easily. Wind she does not like at all. And she prefers to drink warm or hot beverages.

Since six months she is in treatment with shoulder bursitis on the right arm. She has a hard time to sleep at night because of severe pain. And of course, it causes a lot of stiffness around her neck. But happily she does not suffer with headaches.

If I understood her correctly her kidneys are not in good shape and she has a lot of trouble with her teeth and her eyes.
Years ago she used to have bad bronchitis which somehow left her with weak lungs. MintZhi also is worried about the water accumulating in her lower legs.

There is something not easy for MintZhi to talk about. Since she was a young girl she wanted to know why she compulsively pulls little bits of skin off her fingers, all around the meridian endings next to each finger nail. She tries very hard not to do it, but it seems a compulsive behavior. She would appreciate any input.

Her tongue:



Her pulse test:




MintZhi is already the proud owner of a little bottle of Reishi powder and some spirulina and waits with anticipation what kind of Gano-Soup and advise the experts have for her.

Dear Ganoderma and dear MintZhi,

when you cannot stop pulling skin next to the nails it is a clear sign of lung weakness.

Tongue and pulse show heat in upper part of the body (lung and stomach), blood stasis in lung area, water congestions in lower body and circulation blockages from right to left side.

Shoulder problem is connected with liver, stiff neck with heat in upper body, problem with teeth are sign of weak kidneys, swollen legs is water circulation problem.

The following soup is good for MintZhi:

100g china cabbage (to reduce the heat in stomach and lung)
100g carrot (good for lungs)
100g tomato (good for water circulation)
50g organic lemon with skin (good for liver)
50g red beet (good for blood stasis)
50g dates (good for stomach)
30g fresh unpeeled ginger (good for strong circulation)
30g dried cranberries (induce urination to remove the water)


Dear MintZhi, we wish you that you feel better soon!

Dear MintZhi,

I forgot to mention, that you should apply Hot Press on your painful shoulder and also on liver area.
You need Gano Oil, leek and ginger. Please have a look here how to do it:
Hot Press

Dear MintZhi,

yes, circles below your eyes are connected with weak kidney function.
Please start first with the suggested soup, little later we will take care to strenghten your kidneys as well.

1. Do I cook this also in 500cc water as in basic recipe.
2. I believe it's best to simmer for few hours to extract all goodness rather than suggested half hour? Or?
3. I have a pressure cooker - Sicomatic schnellkochtopf - would that work? It would cut the cooking time down??!!??

Dear MintZhi,

as you boil more ingredients than the main recipe contains, please cover the sliced veggies with water. It will be little bit more than 500cc.
It is perfect that you own a pressure cooker! 20 to 30 minutes boiling time is sufficient here.

What you are describing sounds really to be a very hard time which you are going through.
We hope that the right essential nutrients which ganoderma and spirulina in combination with the veggie soup provides will help you to feel better soon.

Losing lot of hair has a connction to weak kidney system as well as teeth problems.
Bad eyesight shows that your liver isn't doing well.
11pm to 3am is according to the organ clock liver time. Means in this time liver is very active. If your liver is weak you cannot find sleep in this time.
To be very exhausted is also a liver reaction. Our liver can only regenerate when we are sleeping. When you feel very tired, your liver "is speaking with you". It needs some rest to recover and urges you to sleep.
Swollen legs are due to weak kidney system.

Ganoderma obviously released some heat congestions from your liver. Neck pains only at right or left side is also a liver reaction, radiating to your eyes and causing headache is due to the up pushing heat. Don't worry. Your soup recipe contains lemon which is very good to reduce liver heat. You should feel better after drinking.

Did you know that every emotional problem has a connection to weak organs?
-being easily agitated is a reaction of our liver, means if liver is weak it's difficult for us to be kind and balanced
-being very sad is a sign that our lung is weak
-being fearful is a kidney reaction
-having lot of worries has connection to weak stomach system
-being very excited or getting laughing attacks without any reason is a reaction of the heart system

This means for you, if you strengthen your organs with plenty of nutrients, emotional problems will automatically decrease.

We wish you all the best and hope that your liver will let you sleep this night again !

Dear MintZhi,

when spine doesn't have natural curve, be sure that's not your fault!
It is again due to weak kidneys and weak liver.
Kidneys are connected with the bones and liver with the tendons.

For your daily diet it is good to become never fanatic. Eating huge variety is the best for us.
One hint for you: your metabolism is weak. You can strengthen yourself by eating 3 times warm every day. Especially breakfast should be warm to give the body enough power for the day.
If you are eating cold and raw food, your stomach system needs lot of energy to warm up the food instead using it for other important functions. Also warm beverages are best for you.
As you have water circulation problem please try to drink about 20 to 30 cc cranberry juice mixed with boiled warm water. Cranberries have warming and strengthening effect (most other juices have cooling effect and lower your metabolism).

These little changes can help a lot.

I'm losing SO much hair.... How I have any hair on my head I don't know!!!! Crazy!!!!

Here is a beautiful success story of "Suppenkassper" to encourage you and your hair.
You can read her story in the German Gano-Suppen section. Look under "Erfahrungen".



Maybe later you are going to post your own full hair picture to encourage someone else.

Poor MintZhi, you are going through a difficult time.
It is good you are telling us how you feel and what you are trying out.
Please, do not give up. There must be a solution to all these discomforts.

In this heat it is very tempting to reach out for a cold drink.
But you must remember that your body is mostly around 37 degrees Celsius. What happens when we drink something only 6 degrees cool or 25 degrees (I just measured the water with today’s room temperature)? Now the stomach in particular has to turn on it’s “oven” and heat up our drink to 37 degrees. This takes away energy from other organs and they will also be stressed like the stomach. They have to work with less energy available and “run hot” producing this “heat” that causes headaches and other discomforts. We think the cool drink is good for us but in the long run our whole metabolism gets weaker and weaker. Of course, for a healthy body this does not produce a big problem. So, if we want to strengthen our metabolism a little warm drink is good for us.

Dear MintZhi,

room temperature beverages are ok, but better are warm or luke warm drinks for you (as dear Ganoderma just explained to you, we wrote at the same time good team work )

You need to understand that the body heat is produced by our organs. When the body is strong and the circulation is healthy, warmth, nutrients, oxygen, water and engergy flows in all parts of your body including your hands, tip of fingers and feet/toes. Everything is nicely warm, but if the circulation is weak due to weak organ functions and blockages, the body heat doesn't reach every part of your body. There are parts which store cold and water and other organs suffer from dryness and heat congestions.
When you are drinking now ice cold beverages, because you might sweat and feel too warm, you lowers your metabolism down, means circulation becomes even weaker which leads to more heat congestion and more cold and water congestions. As Ganoderma said, warm beverages are the best for you.
Please be careful with herbs teas. Every herb has strong warming or cooling effect and might interfere with our gano soup. This was the reason why I recommended you to drink warm boiled water or mixed with cranberry juice.

You can drink the sweetened cranberry juice. Little sugar consume is even good for your cells to produce engery.
May be you can find one with higher fruit content. I'm buying my juice from Kaufland in glass bottles (about 2€/1L). They offer also pure cranberry juice without sugar (1L I think 7€). It is very concentrated and is sufficient for many days.
You can drink as much cranberry juice as you like. It was only a suggestion to mix a little portion of 20 to 30cc with a big glass of warm water. From pure juice u need less amount.


This dreadful arm pain which you are describing, is that something new for you?
It started after drinking your first veggie soup?

As I already explained, if organs are weak, the circulation in the body is also weak, which leads to body parts with lack of nutrients and oxygen.
When you start drinking our veggie soup together with ganoderma, the circualtion is strengthend a lot. It is no medicine. The soup is only very rich in nutritients!
Some parts of your body (for example your arm) suffered many years from bad supply with nutrients and oxygen due to blockages in your body and now suddenly lot of nutrients and oxygen arrived. This can lead to very strong pains or cramps! But it is not caused by our soup. It is caused by your own cells which are very hungry

You can compare this pain with the pain you might know when you stayed for long time in cold weather outside. You have for example very very cold feet and enter into a warm room. What happens? You get first a lot of pains. This is normal reaction of our cells. Our cells can only comunicate through one language: pains!
If cells are sad they react with pains, as well as when they are very happy because of improved nutrients and oxygen supply.
You can reduce such strong reactions by drinking less amount of veggie soup. May be 30cc is enough for you in the beginning.

We hope that this first painful experience won't held you back to continue. Actually it was a very good reaction.

Dear MintZhi,

thank you for sharing all your exciting experiences of the last days.
We are happy that you survived your pressure cooker disaster.
Next time with new rubber ring it will work better.

Your sudden very hot feeling, I think was due to very hard work (both emotionally and physically) after drinking the soup. Obviously the warm yang energy started to circulate very strongly.
Strong excessive circulation by itself is not a good sign of regulation, but a cry of body to take more rest. After drinking the soup it is a good habit to rest at least one hour before start any hard work.
Sorry that I forgot to tell you!
But in general, do you think the recipe is good for you, gives you more energy?

Your colour changing knees show that your circulation in the body is very weak.
Sometimes heat is congested which leads to red colour and sometimes cold is congested and your knees turn into bluish colour.
So please continue with the soup to give your body the needed nutrients to become strong again.
