What is a cordyceps Sinensis?
Scientifically known as Ophiocordyceps Sinensis, the cordyceps is a fungus that parasitizes ground-dwelling moth caterpillars. The fungi locally called Yartsa Gunbu which translates as ‘winter worm, summer grass' invades the living insect before sprouting a distinctive stem.
What are the benefits of Cordyceps Sinensis?
Cordyceps have been widely used in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicines for centuries to treat fatigue, sickness, kidney disease, and low sex drive. In recent years, it has gained popularity in the West for its multiple therapeutic uses. Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, they are used to boost mental and physical performance, increase vitality, strengthen the immunity system, and last but not least help sexual dysfunction. Additionally, they have an interesting nutritional value as they are rich in amino acids, and vitamins like B1, B2, B12, and K.
Lately, scientific research has demonstrated its positive impact on cancer cells helping to shrink tumour size, particularly with lung, breast, and skin cancer.

Editor's note:
Bhutan implemented sustainable harvest guidelines several years ago to protect the environment, the sustainability of the Cordyceps, and the collectors. Only skilled villagers from the Cordyceps growing areas are permitted to collect this special fungus. Harvesting is limited to one month a year, timed at a specific point in the growing cycle to ensure maturity and sustainability. Moreover, the process is overseen by local leaders and forestry services, who also watch poachers.
