Cordyceps, often referred to as the “Energy Mushroom,” holds an important place in Chinese and Tibetan wellness traditions and has been used for centuries in traditional practices. With over six hundred known subspecies, Cordyceps mushrooms have been regarded around the world for their contribution to overall vitality and their role in traditional herbal systems. Cordyceps sinensis mushrooms are native to the high-altitude regions of Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and parts of China, particularly the Himalayas. In historical China, Cordyceps was so highly valued that its use was often reserved for the imperial family.
