People who try Cordyceps sinensis
(and reishi) report that the tiny mushrooms soothe their nerves, lower
their fatigue, and even make them stop coughing. Both reishi and
Cordyceps sinensis have been use for centuries in traditional Chinese
medicine, but western practitioners have started to catch on. This
article explains the medicinal benefits of taking Cordyceps Sinensis and
Reishi for a broad range of problems, including reducing stress and
fatigue, and even treating infertility.What follows are only some of the
benefits of the medicinal mushroom that was once worth its weight in gold!Boosting the Immune System
Because it boosts respiratory health, Cordyceps sinensis is thought to boost immune functioning. Studies
performed on melanoma-bearing mice suggest that this piece of ancient
wisdom is true! Cordyceps sinensis boosted the immune system, and
prevented the growth of tumors in these mice (Zhang et al., 2005). Reishi
may also improve respiratory health by preventing the development of
tumors and blockages (Choong et al., 2007). Scientists aren’t yet sure
how Cordyceps sinensis and reishi improve immune functioning, but they
think that it might have something to do with polysaccharides, which they
believe activate the immune system… kind of kicking it into gear if it’s
flagging (Hsu et al., 2009). Another way that Cordyceps sinensis helps
your immune system is by boosting liver function. Two studies found that
this medicinal mushroom decreased damage from liver cirrhosis in rats (Zhang et
al., 2004; Liu &Shen, 2003).Treating Infertility
Chinese medicine practitioners also used
Cordyceps sinensis to treat infertility. While no one has performed a
study on this use in humans, we can look at studies on mice to see how
it might work. One study found a significant increase in testosterone in
male mice, and its authors suggest that Cordyceps sinensis may have
medicinal uses in treating infertility caused by low testosterone in
human men (Hsu et al., 2003). Doctors who treat infertility use
Cordyceps sinensis to encourage successful implantation in vitro
fertilization, which may be because it stimulates the production of
oestrogen (Qi, Yan, Wang, & Lei, 2011). The fungus may also help
restore sexual function if it has waned (Zhu, Halpern, & Jones,
2008).Buying Medicinal Mushrooms Online
