Cordyceps is one of the most unique, rare,
and treasured plants used in herbal medicine.
It grows in the mountains of Tibet, Nepal and China. Harvesting of
cordyceps in the wild region is a very expensive task. Cordyceps
from Tibet is supposed to be the best cordyceps available. In China, it was
highly recommended as one of the most effective medicines for all illness. Due
to its anti-aging and cure-all properties, it can be compared to ginseng, reishi
and deer velvet. It may be called as tonic that helps to build strength,
improve organic functioning, strengthen the immune system and contributes to
longevity.
Uncountable
Benefits of Cordyceps –
1. It works as an energy tonic - It strengthens your lungs, kidneys and heart energy
levels. In Chinese Medicine theory, these organs are related to overall
energy.
2.
It enhances your immune system -It is used in
Chinese medicine to make your lung energy stronger. That
is related to your immune system in general. If your lung energy
is stronger, it is easier to avoid getting sick. Overall health and
energy level determines if you are as likely to catch a cold or flu frequently or suffer from allergies.
3.
Fluid
Retention - Fluid retention, or edema, is caused
by your body not being able to get rid of excess fluid. Fluid levels are
controlled by the Kidneys and Spleen. Cordyceps makes your kidney energy stronger, so if you are
retaining fluid that is caused by weak kidney energy, it can help you get rid
of it.
4. It is a medicine for coughing – It can treat coughing that you get after a
cold/flu. In Chinese medicine theory, your lung energy is weakened by
coughing a lot. That is why sometimes you will have a light cough that
can hang on for months after a cold. This is called a Residual Cough.
5. It’s a medicine for
insomnia – It can be taken for long
term to strengthen your kidney energy and reduce or eliminate the urge to go to
the bathroom in the middle of the night.
6. It’s a medicine for
lower back pain – If you have low back pain it can
be a symptom of a kidney energy weakness. Low back and knee
pain are classic
symptoms of low kidney energy. This herbal medicine increases the
kidney energy and thus helps in resolving the problem of back pain.
