Surging utility and food costs, a revival of the Cold War with nuclear threats, and a divisive climate not seen since the Vietnam War era.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how can you keep it together without feeling overwhelmed, bereft of energy? Well, desperate times call for, if not desperate, then at least unusual measures. Taking a fungus that acts like a body snatcher in an insect&#8217;s body is certainly out of the ordinary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But thankfully, there\u2019s a way to get the energy-supporting benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Single-Herb-Extracts\/Dong-Chong-Xia-Cao-Cordyceps-Granules\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cordyceps<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/cordyceps\/\" class=\"retail-link\">Cordyceps<\/a>, without the insects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Cordyceps?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t noticed, mushrooms have become a huge health trend. These are not the same \u2018shrooms that are afterthoughts on pizza slices and salads. Modern-day mushroom products are considered \u201cadaptogenic\u201d and \u201cfunctional,\u201d meaning that they help support the body\u2019s systemic processes and neutralize stress. And one of the most funky fungi (mushrooms are the fruit of fungi) is Cordyceps, which in TCM is <a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Single-Herb-Extracts\/Dong-Chong-Xia-Cao-Cordyceps-Granules\" target=\"_parent\">Dong Chong Xia Cao<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/cordyceps\/\">Dong Chong Xia Cao<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now here\u2019s where it gets weird and creepy. \u201cDong Chong Xia Cao\u201d means \u201cwinter bug summer grass.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Winter bug\u2019 refers to a fungal parasite that grows on caterpillar larvae in the cold months. The spores\u2014which for fungus are like the reproductive seeds of plants\u2014are like zombies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-short-quote-right\"> Taking a fungus that acts like a body snatcher in an insect&#8217;s body is certainly out of the ordinary.    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>They infect the immature caterpillars and take over their body, killing them. And like the wondrous metamorphosis of a caterpillar chrysalis into a butterfly, in summertime, the zombie caterpillar larvae become a pretty sprout, which shoots out from the larvae\u2019s head! Thus, the life cycle of Cordyceps is Dong Chong Xia Cao.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before reviewing how Cordyceps supports overall wellness and energy, there\u2019s good news if consuming infected caterpillar larvae sounds unappetizing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cordyceps from ActiveHerb.com comes from lab-grown fungus that is virtually genetically identical to Dong Chong Xia Cao in the wild. Only the middleman (the caterpillar) is removed from the equation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Cordyceps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7356751\/\">A 2020 research study in Biomolecules<\/a> says that the most important bioactive component in cordyceps is cordycepin, which the researchers say supports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Blood sugar (in people with already healthy levels)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cholesterol (in people with already healthy levels)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Immune function<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Liver function<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Libido<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cardiovascular function<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bone health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Joint health and more\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Another active ingredient in Cordyceps is adenosine, a chemical found in all human cells. If you remember from chemistry class, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of cells. And beyond the energy-supporting benefits of adenosine, the researchers say that this natural internal chemistry supports the body\u2019s inflammation and cardiovascular process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For these reasons, the researchers conclude that cordyceps is \u201ca most valuable medicinal mushroom for helping in maintaining good health.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After reading about these potential anti-aging benefits, does that change your mind about taking a fruiting body that protrudes from a larvae carcass? If not, just to reiterate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Single-Herb-Extracts\/Dong-Chong-Xia-Cao-Cordyceps-Granules\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ActiveHerbWholesale.com Cordyceps<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/cordyceps\/\" class=\"retail-link\">ActiveHerb.com Cordyceps<\/a> contains no caterpillar carcass!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cordyceps in TCM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, cordyceps influences the Lung and Kidney channels. So what does that mean for your health? For starters, Cordyceps nourishes the Yang energy of the Kidneys, which is the storagehouse of your vitality\/longevity (Jing). In other words, Cordyceps is a Kidney Yang tonic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-gradient-bottle-img-wrap x-post-img-bottle-to-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Single-Herb-Extracts\/Dong-Chong-Xia-Cao-Cordyceps-Granules\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"text-align:center;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/extract\/dongchongxiacaos.gif\" alt=\"\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/cordyceps\/\" class=\"retail-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"text-align:center;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/extract\/dongchongxiacaos.gif\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the Lungs, as in Western physiology, the Lungs of TCM theory are responsible for exhalation among other things. This is why Cordyceps supports the respiratory system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, in TCM theory, the Kidney organ system governs inhalation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you don\u2019t need to get Cordyceps that\u2019s grown in the very high altitude of the Tibetan Plateau where in wintertime, fungal parasites commandeer the carcasses of caterpillar larvae. Instead, you can get the same benefits from wild Cordyceps\u2014an increasingly threatened TCM herb in the wild\u2014that\u2019s grown in a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-Certified facility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Single-Herb-Extracts\/Dong-Chong-Xia-Cao-Cordyceps-Granules\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more about ActiveHerbWholesale.com Cordyceps.<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/cordyceps\/\" class=\"retail-link\">Learn more about ActiveHerb.com Cordyceps.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cordyceps is one of the most fascinating herbs in TCM.
