The cordyceps mushroom is thought to be a powerful and unusual mushroom that grows where the oxygen levels and temperatures are low in the higher elevations. These medicinal mushrooms are believed to help the glands in particular and the overall health of the body in general.

It is believed that this mushroom was discovered in the fields of the Tibetan mountains more than 1,500 years ago, after observing that the animals that grazed there became more energetic after eating this medicinal fungi. After that it was considered an energy tonic in the Orient and now contemporary studies and research have only started to uncover the health advantages of medicinal mushrooms like these. It has been proven that the advantages to the glands result in an increase in the body’s energy level.

There have been placebo controlled, double blind tests performed at the Medical University in Beijing that do support claims that the cordyceps mushroom is even more superior to the ginseng in its most potent form. In both 1993 and 1994, the women’s track and field team of China broke several of the world records. It was suspected that performance enhancing drugs played a part in their success, yet when the athletes were tested, nothing illegal was found. The coach said that the team had been doing their training at higher altitudes and that they had been consuming a tonic made from this organic mushroom.

Medicinal cordyceps mushrooms have been proven to be an aid in reducing stress, in addition to being beneficial in increasing your energy in order to help fight chronic fatigue. This medicinal mushroom has even been established to boost the levels of antioxidants that your body produces naturally, which promotes longevity. Other rewards include useful anti-tumor and antibacterial properties.

Many physicians use forms of the cordyceps mushroom as a co-treatment along with other medications when treating diseases such as chronic heart failure, elderly fatigue, heart arrhythmia, cerebrovascular disease, leukemia, hepatitis B, atherosclerosis, renal and respiratory illnesses and many different cardiovascular diseases. The health benefits of this mushroom include an increase in the opening of the aorta by as much as 40%, which increases the cardiac output. They also are considered to be a very effective treatment for other health related issues, such as high blood pressure and other chronic illnesses. Conversely, they are used as a support in order to help maintain good respiratory and cardiovascular health.

The medicinal mushroom is experiencing renewed popularity for its ability to help with numerous health conditions. Visit the Medicinal Mushrooms site to learn more about the health benefits of mushrooms such as shiitake, maitake and reishi.
