Cordyceps sinensis is not suitable for everyone: it is contraindicated for infants, people with fever (acute high fever patients), and women during menstruation; people with hot constitution, hypertension and stroke patients, and cancer patients should use it with caution or not use it during radiotherapy; people with internal bleeding (such as hemoptysis, bloody stool, etc.) and cerebral hemorrhage should not eat it; patients with rheumatoid arthritis should reduce the dosage; those with real fire or evil spirits should not eat it.

Avoid taking large or small amounts of Cordyceps sinensis: Cordyceps sinensis is essentially a Chinese medicine. Long-term use can enhance the body's immunity and resist fatigue. It can be used with other Chinese medicinal materials to treat various deficiencies in the human body. However, if the amount consumed each time is small and not taken regularly, it will actually have no effect. Cordyceps is not like western medicine, where the therapeutic effect can be felt in a short period of time. It requires a process of accumulation in the human body, and the effect can only be seen when taken in sufficient quantities over a long period of time. On the contrary, if the amount consumed is too much, the human body cannot absorb it all, which is also a waste. The scientific intake is 3-5 grams per day, taken continuously for 30-180 days, which can achieve the effective conditioning effect of Cordyceps sinensis. If conditions permit, it should be taken frequently and for a long time.

When eating Cordyceps sinensis, try not to eat it raw: Cordyceps sinensis grows in grassland soil. When it is dug, there are countless live fungal spores and live parasite eggs on its surface. Even if it is brewed with boiling water, the fungal spores and eggs cannot be completely killed, let alone eaten raw or ground into powder. Therefore, Cordyceps sinensis must be washed first and then stewed or decocted, which is more conducive to human absorption.

Do not eat moldy Cordyceps sinensis: It is not recommended to eat Cordyceps sinensis that has become moldy due to improper storage.
