What are the people who should not take Cordyceps sinensis?

Cordyceps sinensis is a very precious health food. Usually, many friends use Cordyceps sinensis in various ways in an attempt to improve their physical fitness and enhance their ability to resist disease. Eating some Cordyceps sinensis properly will be helpful to human health, but Cordyceps sinensis is not suitable for everyone. The following editor will introduce some of the main taboos for Cordyceps sinensis.

1. Cordyceps sinensis is not suitable for everyone: infants, people with fever (acute high fever patients), and women during menstruation should not take it; 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 should not eat it.

2 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.

3. Avoid eating Cordyceps sinensis 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 brewing it with boiling water cannot completely kill the fungal spores and eggs, let alone eating it raw or grinding it into powder. Therefore, Cordyceps sinensis must be washed first and then stewed or decocted, which is more conducive to human absorption.

When eating Cordyceps sinensis, in addition to paying attention to the above matters, you should also observe whether the Cordyceps sinensis is moldy. Moldy Cordyceps sinensis will contain a lot of bacteria, and its health value will be greatly reduced. If you eat too much at this time, it is likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
