1. Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Cordyceps sinensis, referred to as Cordyceps sinensis. It is a complex of the daughter seat and the larva corpse of the fungus Cordyceps sinensis parasitic on the larva of the family Hepialidae. Cordyceps sinensis is the only "heterogeneous" in traditional Chinese medicine, because its change and growth is really a wonder in the biological world: the winter solstice is sunny, and the movement is a worm; The summer solstice is cloudy, quiet and grass; It has the unique characteristics that both the medicinal materials themselves and the seasonal environment are formed, and the yin and yang are born together. Therefore, it has become the only androgyny in the Chinese medicine code so far.

Moreover, modern research found that the crude protein content of Cordyceps sinensis was 27.52%, and the amino acids in protein reached 17, and contained 0.004% ~ 0.37% free amino acids, such as lysine, taurine, aspartic acid, threonine, etc. 19, most of which were essential amino acids for human body. It also contains mannitol, galactose, glucose, cordycepic acid (cordycepin), mushroom sugar and nucleoside; Potassium, calcium, chromium, nickel, manganese, iron, copper, zinc and other essential trace elements are abundant; And contains vitamin B 1 and C, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and other organic acids.

Cordyceps sinensis has so many chemical components and functions that it is an excellent dietary tonic. Because the formation process of Cordyceps sinensis is constantly developing and changing and needs the cooperation of many factors, Cordyceps sinensis can be summarized as "strengthening the body resistance" in traditional Chinese medicine: "Yin is included, and Yang is also guarded; Yang is outside, and the yin is also the ambassador. "Cordyceps is both dynamic and static, and yin and yang complement each other; Therefore, by fostering healthy qi, evil spirits can be eliminated and the balance between yin and yang can be achieved; Enhance the immune function of the body and greatly improve people's immune regulation ability; Through the resistance to aging and natural aging caused by pathogenic microorganisms, the essence and qi are circulated, the meridians are adjusted, the human body is in a harmonious internal environment, and diseases and pathogens cannot enter; So as to achieve the effects of strengthening the body, benefiting qi and prolonging life.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Qing Dynasty describes Cordyceps sinensis as: "In winter, it is in the soil, shaped like an old silkworm, with hair moving, and when it is unearthed in summer, it turns into grass?" Cordyceps sinensis is actually the living body of bacteria and insects. Before and after the summer solstice, when the snow has not melted, it is collected on the mountain. After digging out, when the insects are wet, the outer soil and film skin are removed, or yellow wine is sprayed to soften them, and they are straightened and dried with low fire. Materia Medica from the New called it "protecting lung, benefiting kidney to stop bleeding and resolving phlegm". The book "Examination of Medicinal Properties" says that it can "secret essence and qi" and has the function of tonifying lung and strengthening kidney.

When women reach a certain age, they are prone to blood stasis and pain as mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine, and "it hurts if it doesn't work", that is, pain will occur where blood can't circulate. Bruising is due to poor blood circulation, and this kind of symptom appears, mostly on the skin, with purple-black spots on the surface of blood stasis.

Cordyceps sinensis is not suitable for everyone.

Although Cordyceps sinensis has a wide range of effects, it is suitable for daily health care and enhances immunity, especially for people with physical weakness, hyperhidrosis, spontaneous sweating and night sweats. Weakness after illness, long-term weakness or fatigue, and various chronic wasting patients should eat; People with kidney qi deficiency, waist and knee pain, impotence and nocturnal emission should eat; Elderly people with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, tuberculosis, bronchial asthma, cough, shortness of breath and hemoptysis should eat; Cancer patients and patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy should eat; People with diabetes, lupus erythematosus, chronic nephritis, aplastic anemia and leukopenia should eat.

However, infants, patients with fever (acute high fever) and women are forbidden to take it during menstruation; People with febrile constitution, patients with hypertension and apoplexy, and patients with tumor should be used with caution or not during radiotherapy; People with internal bleeding (such as hemoptysis, hematochezia, etc.) and cerebral hemorrhage should not eat it. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis should take it in a reduced amount, and those with excess fire or evil should not eat it.

Eating Cordyceps sinensis must master the "degree"

The effective components in Cordyceps sinensis need to be accumulated in a certain amount of time to play a good role in human body, and usually need to be taken for 2 months to 3 months; Cordyceps sinensis is a famous tonic medicine. Although it is a tonic of both yin and yang, it is still slow, but we should pay attention to determining the reasonable consumption according to our age and physical condition. If we eat too much, we may have nosebleeds, irritability, insomnia and other phenomena, which will disappear after stopping eating.

Cordyceps sinensis should not eat only worms or grass heads.

"Research on the Usage of Materia Medica" records that this thing is a worm and a grass, and it is hot and cold. Summer grass is cold, so that women are absolutely pregnant and childless when used alone; Entomorphic fever of cordyceps can strengthen fire, benefit essence and tonify lung and kidney. When used together, they are sweet, nontoxic, nourishing lung and yin, resolving phlegm and benefiting qi, stopping bleeding, and treating fatigue and cough. Cordyceps sinensis does not eat grass, which is not only a waste, but also easy to get angry, so the correct way to eat Cordyceps sinensis is to eat both the worm and the straw.

Avoid eating cordyceps sinensis and try not to eat it raw.

Cordyceps sinensis grows in grassland soil, and there are countless live fungal spores and live parasite eggs on the surface when it is dug. Even if it is brewed with boiling water, it can't completely kill the fungal spores and eggs, let alone eat it raw or pulverize it into powder, so Cordyceps sinensis should be washed first and then stewed or decocted, which is more conducive to human absorption.

It is forbidden to eat Cordyceps as Cordyceps sinensis.

Never eat fake Cordyceps sinensis. There are 500 species of Cordyceps sinensis in the world, and there are more than 90 species in China. It is completely wrong to refer to any combination of Cordyceps sinensis that parasitizes insects and can grow into self-made worms.

The traditional Chinese medicine in China refers to Cordyceps sinensis, which is a combination of worm-shaped sclerotia and immature stroma formed by the invasion of Cordyceps sinensis, which is only distributed in the alpine meadow of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its surrounding areas in China. Other species can only be called Cordyceps sinensis for short, not Cordyceps sinensis.

The daily dosage of healthy and sub-healthy people is generally 0.5-2 grams, while the dosage of patients depends on the severity of the disease, the treatment stage, the length of the course, the patient's physique, the obvious degree of symptoms, age, season and other factors. Generally, the daily dosage should be between 2-5 grams, and the daily dosage can be divided into 2 to 3 times.

Finally, during taking Cordyceps sinensis, we should eat less spicy food, and avoid eating with radish and mung bean. Women should also avoid menstrual period.

7. Cordyceps sinensis is a valuable nourishing medicinal material, but only by buying pure Cordyceps sinensis can it play its health-preserving role. So how to choose Cordyceps sinensis? Let's take a look at the method of selecting Cordyceps sinensis.

How to choose Cordyceps sinensis

1, select from the source

Cordyceps collected in the Pharmacopoeia of China is a complex of cordyceps sinensis parasitized on the larvae of Hepialidae and the carcasses of the larvae. In some areas, fungus bases with similar shapes and belonging to different species are used as cordyceps sinensis. For example, Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps Sinkiang, Cordyceps Liangshan, etc. These varieties have different effects from Cordyceps sinensis, so special attention should be paid when purchasing.

2. Choose from the place of origin

Cordyceps is divided into Sichuan Cordyceps, Qinghai Cordyceps and Tibet Cordyceps. The cordyceps sinensis with the highest medicinal value in medicine comes from two top producing areas in China: Naqu in Tibet and Yushu in Qinghai. The two brands of Cordyceps with the best reputation in China are both from the above producing areas. Cordyceps produced in Qinghai and Tibet are of high quality, with fat and full body, golden surface color and short daughter seat; Cordyceps sinensis produced in Sichuan has a thin body, a dark yellow-brown surface and a long pedestal. Quality is second.

3. Choose from the number (size)

Cordyceps sinensis is generally divided into several grades according to the number of strips per kilogram in the market. That is, the fewer the number, the bigger the size, the better the quality and the more expensive the price. Such as 1600/kg, 2,000/kg, 2,500/kg, 3,000/kg, unified cargo, etc.

4. Choose from dry and wet degree (moisture)

"China Pharmacopoeia" clearly stipulates: "Unless otherwise specified, the water content of decoction pieces shall not exceed13%". That is to say, it is appropriate to control the moisture content of Cordyceps within13%. In order to reduce the loss and increase the weight, the water content of Cordyceps in the current market is generally high. When buying Cordyceps, you should touch the hardness of the worm with your hands. If the worm is soft, slightly curved, dark in surface color and moist, it means that the cordyceps is not dry and has a large water content; If the worm body is stiff, the surface color is light and dry, it shows that the degree of dryness and wetness of Cordyceps sinensis is moderate, which can reach 95% dryness.

5. Choose from cleanliness

See if there are impurities on the surface of Cordyceps sinensis. The surface color of Cordyceps sinensis is dark yellow to yellowish brown, the head is reddish brown, and the ring pattern is obvious and clear, indicating that Cordyceps sinensis is pure. If there is a fibrous membrane on the surface of the worm, or the color of the worm is dark, the ring pattern is unclear, or the joint between the head and the pedestal is swollen, and the head is covered with mud, and the reddish-brown head is not visible, indicating that the surface of Cordyceps is attached with impurities and doped to gain weight.

6, choose from the integrity

Cordyceps sinensis is better to be complete, fat and full. Among the Cordyceps circulating in the market, some are mixed with broken Cordyceps inserted with bamboo sticks and matchsticks. After careful observation, there are traces of splicing on the surface of the worms, and some of the docked worms are not integrated and the splicing is unnatural. The shriveled and hollow Cordyceps showed that the nutrients of the worm had been consumed when it was harvested, so it was not suitable for use.
