Bhutan Cordyceps healing power guides? Codyceps sinesis is found in Asia, tucked in between the Himalayas on the Tibetan plateau. The fruiting body of the fungus has evaded attempts at successful commercial cultivation, and is therefore highly prized. It is getting harder and harder to find, causing conflicts in the areas where it is harvested and bringing the price up to insane valuations. For example, the price has risen from about $5 per gram in the late ‘90s to upwards of $72 per gram today! If you find a supplement that claims to include C. sinensis, it is most likely just not true. The demands for supplemental Cordyceps today are just too high to rely on wild harvested Cordyceps sinensis- and using the fungus in this way is unsustainable both ecologically and economically.
Chinese friend introduced us to Cordyceps Sinensis, and we were so amazed by the powerful effects experimenting with it had on our health, that we began reading about it, and now we even run Cordycepssinensis.org as a hobby. Much of the information about Cordyceps Sinensis comes from our extensive research on the subject, including conversations with people, including several traditional Chinese healers. On Cordycepssinensis.org we will attempt to provide good information of the properties and potential applications of the medicinal mushroom Cordyceps Sinensis.
Certain varieties of Cordyceps grow parasitically on the caterpillars of particular moths. Some species of Cordyceps are called “winter worm” (these mushrooms grow on a caterpillar, after killing it and filling it with mycelium) and “summer grass”. These endangered mushrooms only occurs in the high mountains (the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau) in southwestern China and Tibet. Fortunately, the mycelia of Cordyceps sinensis can also be grown domestically, using a substrate such as rice. See extra information on Bhutan Cordyceps.
Cordyceps have been widely used in traditional chinese medicine (TCM) and some branches of herbalism for centuries. A lot of research has been conducted to study the powerful benefits of cordyceps. Below are some of the health benefits that have been claimed to be associated with cordyceps. Combating fatigue: Fatigue is the physical or mental exhaustion caused by stresses such as overwork, lack of exercise or lack of sleep. It can also be a symptom resulting from illness, anxiety, medicine, or depression. Cordyceps have been shown to produce antifatigue function and are good to combat tired muscles. Cordyceps are known to help in boosting strength and improving immune system. Studies suggest that cordyceps increase the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a primary source of energy of our cells, particularly muscles. Cordyceps also promote restful sleep and helps to boost energy.
Cordyceps collection has greatly improved the lives of the people. Moreover, in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, cordyceps is believed to fight fatigue, have anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. After the legalisation of the harvesting of cordyceps by the Royal Government of Bhutan in 2004, it has been harvested extensively in the preserved pristine alpine meadows of Bhutan. “In the past, all our household income was dependent on agricultural works and we used to plough our fields with oxen. Now, after the legalisation of Cordyceps collection, everyone is well off. Every household has 2 to 3 cars now. Each year, there are about 3 new houses constructed here,” Dorji Tenpa from Nangsiphel said. See additional info on https://cordycepssinensis.org/.
