Adaptogenic Herb

Cordyceps Sinensis is an adaptogenic herb which means that it helps to build resistance to all areas of bodily stress such as extreme heat or cold, toxic chemicals, sleep deprivation, and depression while producing a normalizing influence on the body. The important thing with an adaptogen is that it is able to adapt to what the body needs and keep the body in balance. If an herb helped with physical exhaustion, but did nothing to protect against viruses, it would not be adaptogenic. Adaptogenic herbs are also safe and non-toxic with few, if any, side effects.

History

About 1,500 years ago yak herders in the Himalayas noticed that when their yaks grazed on certain capless mushrooms, they became much more energetic and playful. Upon investigation, the herders discovered the yaks had been eating Cordyceps. The first written record of Cordyceps was found during the Tang Dynasty around AD 620. At that time, Cordyceps became prized by the ruling emperors of China for its healing properties. The Western World had to wait until the 18th century when a Jesuit priest named Jean Baptiste du Halde was introduced to Cordyceps while visiting the Chinese Emperor. In 1757 Cordyceps made its first appearance in the medical textbook called New Compilation of Materia Medica.
