The range of therapeutic uses claimed for the
Cordyceps species is far reaching; although many
of them have yet to be suffi ciently investigated. In
TCM, Cordyceps has been used to treat conditions
including respiration and pulmonary diseases;
renal, liver, and cardiovascular diseases; hyposexuality;
and hyperlipidemia. It is also used in
the treatment of immune disorders and as an adjunct
to modern cancer therapies (chemotherapy,
radiation treatment and surgery).5 Cordyceps is
believed by many, particularly in and around Tibet
(its place of origin), to be a remedy for weakness
and fatigue, and it is often used as an overall rejuvenator
for increased energy while recovering
from a serious illness. Many also believe it to be
a treatment for impotence, acting as an aphrodisiac
in both men and women. Cordyceps is often
prescribed for the elderly to ease general aches
and pains. TCM practitioners also recommend the
regular use of Cordyceps to strengthen the body’s
resistance to infections, such as colds and fl us,
and to generally improve the homeostasis of the
patient. Traditionally, Cordyceps has most often
been used in the treatment of health issues related
to or stemming from the kidneys and the lungs.
For example, it is used to ease a range of respiratory
ailments: cough and phlegm, shortness of
breath, bronchial discomfort, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma. Modern
science is attempting to confi rm the effi cacy of
Cordyceps for most of its traditional uses; however,
most medical studies regarding its effi cacy
remain incomplete.
Today in the West, Cordyceps is most widely
used by two groups of people: athletes and the
elderly. The use of Cordyceps by athletes stems
from publicity surrounding the performance exhibited
by the Chinese Women’s Track and Field
