The benefits of drinking Cordyceps soaked in water

When it comes to Cordyceps sinensis, everyone may be familiar with it. It is a very precious tonic with a long history, but how much do people know about it? Maybe most people don’t know what kind of effects it has. Therefore, we should learn how to use Cordyceps sinensis to play its important role. Soaking Cordyceps in water is the most scientific way, but what are the benefits of it? Let’s find out.

The benefits of drinking Cordyceps

Weigh 3 to 9 grams of natural Cordyceps sinensis every day, break or chop it, stew it with meat (duck, chicken, pork, fish, lamb, beef, etc.), and take it twice a day, morning and evening. It is best to take it together with the Cordyceps sinensis. It needs to be taken continuously for 30 to 180 days to achieve the effective conditioning effect of Cordyceps sinensis. If conditions permit, it should be taken regularly and for a long time.

Cordyceps sinensis is different from tea, American ginseng, wolfberry, etc. The latter are all plants and the active ingredients in them are easier to dissolve. Cordyceps sinensis not only has a denser structure, but many of its essential ingredients are large molecules, such as proteins and nucleosides. These essential ingredients cannot be fully dissolved by soaking in water, and the degree of crushing of Cordyceps sinensis by chewing with teeth is far from enough to fully release the essential ingredients, and the ingredients that can be absorbed are extremely limited.

The purpose of grinding Cordyceps sinensis into powder with a small steel grinder is to increase the absorption rate of the essence ingredients through crushing. However, since the essential ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine are mostly contained in cells, they must undergo "membrane and wall breaking" at the cellular level to be fully "released". A small steel mill can only break Cordyceps into a coarser powder, which cannot achieve the purpose of significantly increasing release and maximizing absorption. Moreover, the high temperature generated during grinding into powder can easily cause the loss and destruction of the essential ingredients in Cordyceps sinensis, reducing its efficacy.

Therefore, we recommend drinking it with boiling water: boiling water cannot completely kill the live fungal spores and live parasite eggs attached to the surface of Cordyceps sinensis, which is not very hygienic; similarly, the human body will not absorb the active ingredients in Cordyceps sinensis well.

Therefore, Cordyceps sinensis should be boiled in water and drunk as tea, or stewed or decocted. In this way, it can not only sterilize and kill insect eggs, but also help the human body absorb the effective ingredients of Cordyceps sinensis.
