Cordyceps: 1500 Years of Healing & Still Going Strong
|
|
Cordyceps Sinensis has been used for at least 1500 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine and ranks among one of the most widely used medicinal mushrooms in the world today! Cordyceps Sinensis is a species of fungi that is parasitical by nature, taking as its host several different varieties of ghost moths. It only grows at elevations above 3500 meters and is found on the Tibetan Plateau. Cordyceps is known by several names such as Yarsha Gumba in Nepal and dong chong xia cao, which means "winter worm, summer grass” in China. In English, it is known as Caterpillar fungus. The Latin name cordyceps literally means "club head", which is undoubtedly a reference to its cane-like shape and sinensis means "from China.” Cordyceps has been discovered to be quite effective in treating circulatory, respiratory, and immune system problems. One of its most popular usages is as a very powerful aphrodisiac. Studies conducted at Beijing Medical University in China and in research conducted in Japan have shown a 64% success rate among men suffering from impotence who were given Cordyceps Sinensis versus a mere 24% of men in the placebo group. Ancient Chinese healers considered Cordyceps as one of the most effective medicines for a wide variety of illnesses. Due to its anti-aging and other therapeutic properties, it might be compared to reishi, another powerful medicinal mushroom. Cordyceps is generally used as a tonic that helps to build strength and stamina, improve all systemic functioning, boost the immune system and aid in longevity. In addition, it has many other known therapeutic qualities, such as: • Improve sports performance • Lower cholesterol • Regulate blood sugar • Regulate blood pressure • Fight cancer • Improve kidney function • Act as an anti-depressant • Protect the liver • Oxygenate cells on a molecular level • Improve brain function • Alleviate respiratory symptoms such as asthma and bronchitis • Boost fertility • Improve cardiovascular health • And much more You can see why so many people swear by this magical mushroom! We are all deluged with advertisements on television, magazines, newspapers and the internet extolling the virtues of this prescription “wonder drug” or that one. But, when you really listen to the long, long list of possible side effects that may accompany the use of these drugs, it's scary! In many cases, the so-called cure turns out to be worse than the illness it was used to treat. When you turn to Nature's cornucopia of beneficial, natural remedies for whatever health problems you might be experiencing; you have peace of mind knowing that you are using safe alternatives to the often toxic, harmful prescription drugs touted by the Big Pharmas that are out to make a buck regardless of health risks to users. It isn't at all uncommon to be regaled with all the wondrous properties of some new drug, only to turn on the TV a few months or years down the road and hear about the law suits springing up due to the harmful effects...or even deaths...suffered by people who took it. What is wrong with this picture? If you have health problems and would like to alleviate the symptoms or possibly eliminate them completely, or simply want to meet each new day with robust good health and abundant vitality---try turning a deaf ear to the promises of prescription drugs and turn instead to a natural remedy such as time tested Cordyceps!
