Cordyceps sinensis has curative effect, but it is not a "magic medicine"

What kind of medicine is Cordyceps sinensis? In the past, it was said that it was "worm" in winter and "grass" in summer In fact, it is the complex of Cordyceps sinensis, a fungus of ergomycidae, parasitic on the larvae of bat moth family As early as 1757, there was a record in the book "Materia Medica from the new" that "Cordyceps sinensis can protect the lung, benefit the kidney, replenish the essence, stop bleeding and dissipate phlegm, cough due to fatigue, and treat diaphragm well" According to traditional Chinese medicine, Cordyceps is the only one that can balance and regulate Yin and Yang at the same time Therefore, Cordyceps sinensis, ginseng and pilose antler are listed as the three tonics in China Modern medical research has proved that Cordyceps sinensis extract has the function of regulating the immune system, and has the direct anti effect; it can improve the heart's ability to withstand hypoxia, regulate the liver function, expand the bronchi, relieve asthma, dispel phlegm, and prevent and treat emphysema; it can also reduce the chronic diseases of the kidney, improve the renal function, reduce the damage of toxic substances to the kidney; it can reduce the blood Cholesterol and triglycerides, improve the level of high-density lipoprotein, reduce atherosclerosis and so on Because Cordyceps sinensis is born in the snow field, its quantity is rare and difficult to pick, so it is as expensive as gold One gram of Cordyceps sinensis costs hundreds of yuan or even hundreds of yuan "But even so, Cordyceps is not a panacea for all diseases As a matter of fact, its efficacy is very common Even if it is mainly used to treat chronic cough and asthma with deficiency of lung and kidney, it can only be used as an auxiliary drug, and it can only be used when there is little or no phlegm It's basically useless for allergies " Experts say The use of Cordyceps is more appropriate, blind tonic will play the opposite role, such as causing cough or other acute cough, it is not suitable to use Cordyceps, otherwise not only can not stop cough, but will make the cough worse, and lingering hard to heal, affecting the cough effect of other drugs In the treatment of chronic bronchitis, it can only be taken when there is no or less phlegm In addition, its beneficial renal function is only limited to mild renal dysfunction, but it has no effect on renal failure How to use Cordyceps? Experts believe that for those who suffer from physical deficiency after illness, or who are easy to suffer from physical deficiency, or who are afraid of cold and sweating, they can often use 6-9g Cordyceps to stew with chicken, duck, cattle, pig, mutton, etc.; for those who suffer from Yang deficiency, they can use 10g Cordyceps to cook porridge together with 10 red dates or longan, with obvious therapeutic effect When Cordyceps sinensis is used together with tonics in clinical use, its tonic effect will play a more full and significant role As for what kind of medicine to take together with it, it should be determined by TCM experts according to the condition of the body, and it is not allowed to take it at will, so as to avoid the unexpected Because the formation mechanism of Cordyceps sinensis has not been studied clearly, it is still unable to carry out artificial large-scale production There are less and less Cordyceps sinensis in the market, so the price is very expensive In clinical practice, many Cordyceps sinensis were found to be inferior and fake, so we should distinguish them carefully In particular, we remind patients not to buy materials at local stalls, streets and tourist spots, and not to listen to the hype of salesmen If the price is too outrageous, we should pay special attention to it It is better to ask a professional teacher for identification before purchasing.
