Modern medical research has shown that Sichuan-Tibetan caterpillar fungus has not only the essence(cordycepin), but also fat, protein, amino acids, and vitamin B1 and B2 and other constituents totaling over 170 in number which are common to all sorts of caterpillar fungus, but contains also substances that are activating in nature and able to repair defective cells in the human body, which are specific to it alone. At the same time, the unique natural environment has invested it with extraordinarily great activity. Therefore, in comparison with common caterpillar fungus, it can exert more profound influences on a number of physiological functions of the human body. It can remarkably promote the immunity of organs, tranquilize the central nervous system, forestall convulsion, and reduce fever temperature; in respect to the cardiovascular system, it can reduce blood pressure, lower the oxygen consumption of the myocardium, alleviate myocardial ischemia and counteract arrhythmia; and with regard to the respiratory system, it can dilate the bronchi, facilitate expectoration and ease asthma; and it also has patent therapeutic effect on sore back and knees, spontaneous emission of sperm and increase sperm count in sleep, chronic nephritis, renal failure, and poor sexual performance.
