What is the "efficacy" of Cordyceps sinensis, which is known as the king of traditional Chinese medicine and more expensive than gold?
The price of Cordyceps sinensis suddenly rose 15 years ago. There is a reason behind this, because some people claim that Cordyceps sinensis can tonify kidney and blood. In short, it is a magical drug with strong nourishing effect. Then its price soared, surpassing gold in 2003-04.

After 2003, the price of Cordyceps sinensis rose more than that of gold. Around 2005, it was already more expensive than gold. Now about 400~500 yuan a gram, gold is only about 350 yuan. This kind of thing is too expensive for ordinary people to use. To say its specific function, in fact, it was first found in some classic books that it has the functions of clearing away heat, relieving cough, stopping bleeding and protecting kidney. However, these functions of treating premature ejaculation were not recorded, but later generations made corresponding publicity. After all, some Chinese herbal medicines have the corresponding functions of relieving cough, clearing away heat and toxic materials and strengthening the body. Cordyceps sinensis is not as magical as everyone thinks.

At present, Cordyceps sinensis has become the king of traditional Chinese medicine, and behind its price increase is artificial propaganda. According to the records of Cordyceps sinensis, it has nothing to do with Sun Simiao and Hua Tuo, that is to say, it was recorded at the earliest time. Cordyceps sinensis can relieve cough and clear heat, and has a good nourishing effect. However, there is no record of this kind of medicinal material in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Ordinary people just need to look at it, and there is no need to seriously pursue its effect, because ordinary people can't afford hundreds of pieces of medicinal materials.

Traditional Chinese medicine does have a better effect in nourishing and preserving health, while western medicine has incomparable advantages in treating physical diseases. Because the treatment cycle of traditional Chinese medicine is really long, and the pharmaceutical process is very troublesome, but western medicine can basically be eaten directly, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Chinese medicinal materials are also cherished, because many Chinese medicinal materials are expensive and cannot be found anytime and anywhere. Therefore, the rising price of traditional Chinese medicine has also caused traditional Chinese medicine to become more and more expensive.
