How to eat Cordyceps sinensis and what is the dosage

Nowadays, many people like to use Cordyceps sinensis to help maintain their health. There are many ways of eating Cordyceps sinensis among the people. Some people say that it is better to drink it in water, some say to stew it in soup, or some say to grind it into powder. However, there is no accurate answer as to how to eat Cordyceps sinensis and how much to eat. Let's take a look at how to eat and how much to use Cordyceps sinensis.

Boil water and drink it as tea instead of brewing it with boiling water. This method is simple and effective. Usually, Cordyceps sinensis needs to be boiled for 6 to 10 minutes at a time. Note that it should be cooked over a low heat and boiled for a short time. Drink the water immediately after it boils and add water while drinking. When the Cordyceps sinensis water is the darkest in color, it is the most nutritious. The water at this time must not be wasted. Usually Cordyceps water goes through a process from light to strong and then back to light again, and the aftertaste is also very long. When the Cordyceps water becomes light or even white, do not drink it. You can eat the Cordyceps. A pot of Cordyceps sinensis tea can be drunk for at least half an hour, and water should be added 4 to 6 times.

Put Cordyceps sinensis into a wine jar, add white wine or sorghum wine, seal and soak for 10-15 days, filter and then drink. This medicinal wine can also be taken internally. Taking 10-15 ml daily can nourish the lungs and kidneys, relieve cough and reduce phlegm. It is used to treat cough with blood due to fatigue, night sweats, tuberculosis, and chronic cough and asthma caused by old age.

Dosage of Cordyceps

The dosage of Cordyceps sinensis varies according to the condition of the disease, as follows: Chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma: 4-5 grams per day, divided into 2 doses, for 2 consecutive months. Chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis: 2-5 grams per day, divided into 3 doses, for 3 consecutive months. Hyperlipidemia: 3 grams per day, divided into 3 doses. Sexual dysfunction: 3-6 grams per day, divided into 3 doses, for about 40 days. Arrhythmia: 1-2 grams per day, divided into 3 doses, for 2 weeks.

In fact, the efficacy of Cordyceps sinensis is very good, but it is not suitable for everyone. For example, it is not suitable for people with real fire or evil spirits (for example, people with severe inflammation and exogenous cough, acute cough and fever, etc. should not eat it, and it is best not to eat it during a cold), and healthy people with a hot constitution or children should not eat it.
