Cordyceps sinensis can only grow high up in the Himalayan mountains, at altitudes over 3,800 meters above sea level. The fungus itself is a parasite, only growing on the larvae of a rare and specific caterpillar itself only found at these heights, and deep underground. As the fungus grows, it consumes around 90% of its larval host. The larva becomes more or less mummified by the fungus and the result is an odd looking, orangey brown, finger-shaped ‘mushroom’.
Much of its medicinal ability lies in its cordycepic acid, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Cordycepic acid has been known as an anti-inflammatory agent and has long been used in TCM. Cordyceps sinensis is a powerful antioxidant too, having a boosting effect on the production of important immune cells that help fight against free radicals.
