#1.5 Cordyceps Mushroom Tincture

This adaptogenic myco-medicinal has been one of the most sought after longevity tonics of all time. Its impact upon the endocrine, respiratory, immune, cardiovascular, nervous & sexual reproductive systems is extensive. Honoured for restoring energy levels, relieving stress and anti-aging properties.

It is known as the ‘Caterpillar Mushroom’. In ancient times, Cordyceps was worth four times its weight in silver! 

Ingredients: Cordyceps mushroom (Cordyceps militaris)

In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is used as a lung and kidney tonic. It increases the production of red blood cells, increases sperm production and strengthens qi. It has long been regarded as one of the best sexual tonics in the world. Used as an aphrodisiac for over two thousand years with the first written record in the Classic Herbal of the Divine Plowman from 200 AD. Referred to as dong chong xia cao in mandarin.
It also regulates menstruation and is used to treat metrorrhagia (in-between-period bleeding) as well as abnormal or excessive bleeding associated with peri-menopause or fibroids. 

Added to soup broths it helps alleviate colds, coughs, anemia and joint pain.  Cordyceps strengthens both the mind and body at the very basic level in TCM principles. It is said to replenish yin jing and restore the deep energy that gets depleted by long term stress. It is particularly restorative to the lungs and acts by balancing the entire hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis. It can be safely used in nearly all endocrine conditions to help relieve fatigue and calm the nervous system.
