Himalayan Cordiceps
Himalayan Cordyceps (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) is a rare parasitic fungus that thrives in the alpine
pastures of Nepal, particularly in regions like Dolpa, Jumla, Mugu, and Manang, at altitudes
between 3,500 and 5,000 meters. Yarsagumba has a unique life cycle—it infects the larvae of ghost
moths (Hepialidae), eventually sprouting a stalk-like fruiting body from the caterpillar’s body. This
natural process takes several months, making Cordyceps one of the most labor-intensive and
valuable natural medicines.
Historically, Yarsagumba has been revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Tibetan
healing traditions for its exceptional healing properties. It was once reserved for emperors and elite
warriors, believed to boost strength, endurance, and longevity. Today, it continues to be a highly
coveted supplement, recognized for its potent bioactive compounds.
