What is Cordyceps sinensis? It is a combination of two different species and witnessed the whole process from death to regeneration. Cordyceps sinensis has the effects of nourishing yin, strengthening yang, tonifying kidney and resisting cancer. There are many ways to eat it, and different ways to eat it make its health care effect essentially different.
1, how to take Cordyceps sinensis?
Cordyceps sinensis, a rare creature unique to alpine meadow in China, is known as "golden grass", "fairy grass" and "the first grass in the world", and is also called "three treasures of traditional Chinese medicine" with ginseng and velvet antler.
Pharmacological research shows that Cordyceps sinensis contains more than ten kinds of amino acids such as mannitol, ergosterol, cordycepin and lysine, as well as trace elements such as zinc, iron, calcium, phosphorus and strontium, which can improve human immunity, regulate endocrine glands and sexual function, improve visceral function, and also have certain therapeutic effects on arrhythmia, respiratory diseases, hepatitis and renal failure.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is flat in nature and sweet in taste, belonging to lung and kidney meridians, and has the effects of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, tonifying lung and relieving asthma, stopping bleeding and resolving phlegm. It is suitable for deficiency of both lung and kidney and deficiency of essence and qi. Common symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, soreness of waist and knees, impotence and nocturnal emission.
Because it is flat and slow, it can balance yin and yang, and it is also a good tonic for the elderly, the weak after illness and the weak after childbirth.
(1) Tea is the best drink.
Cordyceps sinensis can be used to make tea, grind powder and stew soup. The absorption rate of tea and powder is particularly high. Many people like to stew all kinds of meat with Cordyceps sinensis. In fact, this will weaken the natural aroma of Cordyceps sinensis and destroy its medicinal components due to the high temperature during cooking.
Therefore, it is recommended to make tea or powder first. When making tea, soak one or two Cordyceps sinensis in water. Drink a few cups a day, 2 grams, grind into powder, and take it on an empty stomach, once in the morning and once in the evening.

2, Cordyceps sinensis consumption misunderstanding
As a vertical shopping mall of Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps sinensis APP reminds everyone that there are three major misunderstandings in taking Cordyceps sinensis:
One of the misunderstandings of eating Cordyceps sinensis: insufficient dose
Mr Chen has been in poor health. Recently, I heard that Cordyceps sinensis has a good health care effect, so I asked someone to buy 30 grams. Because the price of Cordyceps sinensis is very expensive and Mr. Chen's family income is average, Mr. Chen wants to save some money and eat 1 Cordyceps sinensis every day. After dinner, Mr. Chen didn't feel much better. Maybe he bought fake Cordyceps sinensis? After detailed consultation, he found that he should eat at least 1 gram of Cordyceps sinensis every day, usually 3-6 grams to achieve the effect. Old Zhen Chen regretted it. In order to save money, he wasted a lot of Cordyceps sinensis.
Comments: Many friends don't eat enough Cordyceps sinensis every day to save money. Scientific research has found that the daily dosage of Cordyceps sinensis should reach 3-6 grams, which has a certain effect on health. If yes, take at least1-3g. If the daily dose is 1, it is invalid. Because the human body can't fully absorb the nutrients of Cordyceps sinensis, taking too little is not enough. Therefore, we should pay attention to the dosage when taking Cordyceps sinensis. If it is too expensive, you can consider taking it with Chinese herbal medicines such as American ginseng.
The second misunderstanding of eating Cordyceps sinensis: there is not enough time to eat.
Lao Wang often travels because of his work needs. In recent years, long-term work pressure has dragged down his health. His son bought him Cordyceps sinensis, and he specifically told him to eat it every day. But after eating for a few days, Lao Wang went on a business trip and continued to eat when he came back from a business trip. He thought that he had eaten anyway, and it should be almost the same. It was two months before Lao Wang found himself well. He also complained that his son bought fake Cordyceps sinensis. After listening to the process of Lao Wang eating Cordyceps sinensis, his son found that Lao Wang could not continue to eat Cordyceps sinensis, so the effect was not obvious.
Comments: When many friends eat Cordyceps sinensis, the duration is relatively short. We all know that Cordyceps belongs to traditional Chinese medicine. The conditioning of traditional Chinese medicine needs long-term continuous conditioning, so it must be sustained to achieve satisfactory results. This is because the properties of Cordyceps sinensis need to be accumulated in the body to produce qualitative change. Just like the situation of Lao Wang mentioned above, you must keep taking 1-2 months to have a certain effect.
The third misunderstanding of eating Cordyceps sinensis: continue to eat moldy Cordyceps sinensis.
A year ago, Mr. Liu received a box of Cordyceps sinensis from a friend, but his body was fine, so he put it aside at will. After about half a year, Mr. Liu felt a little uncomfortable and remembered that he had never eaten Cordyceps sinensis. But the Cordyceps sinensis was moldy, and he was reluctant to throw it away, so he stewed the soup and drank the Cordyceps sinensis soup. After eating for another three months, Mr. Liu found that his body had not changed, and he was still the same. Obviously, he asked his friend that the moldy Cordyceps sinensis had no effect.
Comments: Eating Cordyceps is not acceptable, but it depends on the degree of mildew. For example, mold is very serious and deteriorated, so it has no medicinal value. This is because the medicinal use of Cordyceps sinensis is an active ingredient. This is also the reason why fresh Cordyceps sinensis is very popular. Cordyceps sinensis corroded by mold is completely useless. If you eat it, it may affect your health.
