Dong Chong Xia Cao (Cordyceps mushroom)

TCM Uses
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cordyceps is traditionally used to help tonify the kidneys and lungs, replenish vital essence, and support stamina. It is often recommended to help strengthen the body after illness, encourage healthy breathing, and promote overall vitality and endurance.

Modern Uses
Contemporary research suggests that Cordyceps may help support energy production at the cellular level by influencing ATP synthesis. It is also studied for its potential role in supporting respiratory health, healthy circulation, and balanced immune function. Many people use Cordyceps to help maintain healthy energy and adapt to occasional fatigue from daily life.

History & Origin
Cordyceps has a long history of use in the Himalayan regions of China, Tibet, and Nepal. Traditionally, it was highly prized and reserved for royalty due to its rarity and revitalizing reputation. Today, sustainable cultivation methods allow for broader access, with both wild and cultivated species (such as Cordyceps militaris) valued in herbal traditions around the world.
