4. Cordyceps Mushroom - Premier Kidney and Lung Tonic

why?

The use of cordyceps dates back to ancient China as a famous kidney and lung tonic. It was used to rebuild the body after long term illness. Excellent clinical results in recent times have been reported for those with weakened kidneys, even those in chronic kidney failure. Research has shown it can increase 17-hydroxy-corticosteroid and 17-ketosteroid levels, acting like a nontoxic super-cortisone. Other kidney-related problems (according to Chinese Medicine) which the mushroom extract can help overcome are chronic fatigue, back and joint pain, tinnitis (ringing ears), anemia, and many types of sexual problems such as impotence (which is classically related to deficient "chi" of the kidney). The mushroom has a sterling reputation in helping to overcome chronic lung problems, such as asthma and persistent coughs, due to its ability to relax the bronchial passages and improve respiration.

Cordyceps is a premier blood builder. Studies show it can clear anemia due to its ability to build bone marrow and platelet counts.
