Recent research with mycelial extracts of Cordyceps ophioglossoides has yielded a protein-bound polysaccharide with high oral activity against tumors, as well as immunological enhancement.
Cordyceps is one of the most valued medicinal fungi in all Chinese medicine and among the most potent. Cordyceps is widely employed to treat upper respiratory problems, impotence, weakened immune systems, and by athletes to increase endurance. Because of Cordyceps' ability to build energy, stamina and endurance it has been recommended for use by those who suffer from Lyme disease and fibromyalgia.Still other contemporary traditional uses of Cordyceps in China include the relief of bronchial inflammation, and the treatment of chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, pulmonary emphysema and tuberculosis. To relieve exhaustion or tiredness, debility following illness, anemia, night sweats and cough, Cordyceps is traditionally taken twice a day in the form of a simmered decoction using 3 to 9 grams of the dried fungus. Cordyceps has a flavor reminiscent of licorice and is highly regarded for restoring vitality in convalescents and as a tonic for the kidneys.
