ABSTRACT
"Fuzheng Quxie" is an important theory of TCM related to prevention and cure of diseases. By enhancing the body immunity, Ganoderma (Lingzhi) indirectly inhibits the virus invasion, proliferation and destruction in the human body ("Fuzheng" means strengthening and consolidating body resistance). It can also directly inhibit and kill viruses ("Quxie" means dispelling evil). Lingzhi and its active components have antiviral effects on influenza virus, herpes virus, hepatitis B virus, human immunodeficiency virus, Newcastle disease virus, dengue virus and enterovirus. Lingzhi preparations alone or with antiviral drugs can treat hepatitis B, herpes zoster, recurrent genital herpes, condyloma acuminatum, infectious mononucleosis of children, cervical papillomavirus infection and AIDS. In addition, the possibility of preventing and treating COVID-19 (corona virus disease 2019) with Lingzhi was discussed.
