| Post subject: Cordyceps (dong chong xia cao), magic remedy or hoax? |
Hey guys,
I have seen a documentary produced by French television about Cordyceps (dong chong xia cao or 冬虫夏草), a mushroom traditionally found in high t¡betan plateau. Apparently this mushroom is seen as a true wonder of nature and if taken under its pure form, it can cure pretty much any disease.
Anyone has tried it? has any information on it? |

Cordyceps improves "lung Yin" and "kidney Yang in chinese medicine term. It adjusts Yin and Yang balance.
In western medicine term, it enhances immune system, reduce heart oxygen consumption (which is good for people with ischaemic heart disease), improves tolerance to cold weather and fatique, improves respiratory functions, reduces cholesterol and triglyceride, and kills cancer cells in the laboratory. |
