What does it do?
Cordyceps sinensis (Dong Chong Xia Cao,
冬虫夏草) is perhaps
the rarest and most precious herb in traditional Chinese medicine. Cordyceps
has been used for the general health well being by Chinese for centuries, but remained
unknown for the rest of the world until in 1992 Olympics when the Chinese women's track
team athletes broke multiple world records and attributed their success in part to Cordyceps they took
as an herbal dietary supplement. Modern studies suggest Cordyceps may enhance
the immune function of our body, may stimulate progesterone production, boost energy and endurance†
Cordyceps sinensis grows in or around Tibet. Cordyceps sinensis is actually composed of
fungus that grows on caterpillar larvae. In its native habitat, the spores of Cordyceps infect
and get into the body of caterpillar larvae. When the fungus grows in the body it
kills the larvae in the winter, and eventually fungus fully consumes the larvae and sprouts into
a little plant in the summer. The Chinese name Dong Chong Xia Cao literally describes the
life cycle of Cordyceps.
Because of the unique nature of Cordyceps, it has been unsuccessful to cultivate Cordyceps.
The natural habitat of Cordyceps in Tibet is rapidly deteriorating because of
the over consumption and skyrocketing prices. Today Cordyceps products in its processed forms
on the market are all made from Cordyceps fungus grown in the laboratories.
