Product Description

Cordyceps sinensis has been used in China for more than a
thousand years. It is recognized as one of China’s herbal treasures, a tonic
used to support the body’s source of vital energy, stamina, and the immune
system. Its Chinese name, Dong chong xia cao, literally means “summer grass,
winter worm,” since, in the wild, Cordyceps grows in the Himalayas from moth
larvae. Because Cordyceps’ life cycle peaks in both the winter and summer, it
is considered to have the unique property of balancing the primal powers of
Water and Fire in the body, nourishing Yin and Yang, soma and psyche. Owing to
its scarcity in the wild and increasing demand, methods of cultivating the
mycelia on grains were developed in the 1980’s. Cordyceps Replenishes Kidney
Yin and consolidates its Essence, restores Kidney Yang, strengthens the Lung
and supplements its moisture, and transforms Phlegm. Due to tonifying both Yin
and Yang, Cordyceps does not generate excess Heat or Dampness.
