Cordyceps sinensis is a rare Chinese herbal medicine with the effect of tonifying the kidney. Combining with other drugs can alleviate symptoms such as low back pain and trance caused by kidney deficiency. Cordyceps sinensis is also commonly used clinically to protect renal function and delay the progression of kidney disease. However, if the patient has developed chronic renal failure, it is no longer applicable.
Cordyceps sinensis is an object. "In winter, it is an insect, while in summer, it is a grass. The insect looks like a silkworm, with a slightly yellow color. The grass looks like a leek, and its leaves are relatively thin.". In summer, the insect enters the ground with its head, and its tail forms grass by itself. It is mixed among the vines, and it is unknown whether it is an insect; At the turn of winter, the grass gradually withers and turns yellow, but it wriggles and moves out of the ground, its tail still rustling with grass. The cover is transferred with gasification, which is reasonable. Cordyceps sinensis is a traditional precious nourishing Chinese medicinal material, which is listed as one of the three major tonic products alongside natural ginseng and deer antler.
According to contemporary pharmacological research, Cordyceps sinensis has achieved immune regulation and contains rich essential amino acids and various trace elements, such as zinc, chromium, manganese, etc. It can also promote protein synthesis and improve the resistance of patients. Clinically, it is used to treat patients with chronic renal insufficiency caused by the growth of chronic nephritis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that these patients belong to those with deficiency of kidney qi and insufficient kidney essence. "Cordyceps militaris has no direct therapeutic effect on chronic nephritis itself. Clinically, it is important to use it to shield renal outcomes, delay the expectation of nephritis, and be alert for changes to renal failure.". If the use of specific force is appropriate when mild to moderate renal insufficiency has occurred, it is not certain to use it for chronic nephritis patients with completely normal renal outcomes, let alone long-term use. Specific usage: Steam 6-9g of Cordyceps sinensis in water every day, and take it together with the medicine residue after 30 minutes.
Cordyceps sinensis is considered "precious" by many people, largely due to its common occurrence in alpine areas above 3000 meters above sea level, which is not only small in quantity and difficult to pick, but also rare in value. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine believes that Cordyceps sinensis is not a panacea for all diseases, but only for various diseases caused by lung deficiency, kidney deficiency, or both lung and kidney deficiency. Cordyceps sinensis should not be used for coughs caused by colds or other acute coughs; "If used, not only does it not stop coughing, but it can exacerbate the cough and make it difficult to heal, affecting the cough efficacy of other drugs.". When treating old and chronic bronchitis, it can only be taken when there is no or little phlegm. In addition, its beneficial renal effects are limited to mild renal failure, while there are no results in treating renal failure patients.
"In addition to stewing Cordyceps sinensis with chicken, duck, beef, lamb, or various vegetarian dishes, it can also be boiled and eaten in water. If the condition is mild, it can also be ground and taken.". When used in the fields of waist and knee pain, weakness, dreamy ejaculation, impotence, premature ejaculation, tinnitus, forgetfulness, and trance caused by kidney deficiency and essence deficiency, Professor Chang proposes to use Cordyceps sinensis alone for soaking in wine, or use it together with Eucommia ulmoides, Chuanduan, wolfberry fruit, deerhorn glue, tortoiseshell glue, and other products that replenish blood essence, strengthen yang qi, and strengthen muscles and bones to enhance the efficacy.
Therefore, patients must not blindly believe in Cordyceps sinensis, especially patients with kidney disease must consult their attending doctor for advice before taking it. Although Cordyceps sinensis has a good kidney tonifying effect, it can be used as a supplement to assist in treatment. Do not overeat and stop eating too much.
