Natural Cordyceps for Vegetarians
Cordyceps, whose name includes both the animal (dong chong) and the plant (ha thao) components, is actually a plant at the time of harvest. In reality, I, Nhat Minh, the author of this article, have been a vegetarian for 14 years, from 2008 to 2023, and I have studied this topic very carefully. When harvested, the insect is just a lifeless body; the insect has long been dead, since the fungus began growing on its head. From that point onward, the insect merely retains its appearance as an insect, but it is actually very much like a plant. This process is a metabolic exchange between the dead insect’s body and the fungus, which produces the beneficial compounds that contribute to human health.
You can watch a clip showing how the insect dies before the Cordyceps fungus develops.
Therefore, natural Cordyceps is a precious and wonderful herb that nature has bestowed upon human health. The mysterious Himalayan mountains have played a vital role in creating this beneficial herb. Natural Cordyceps is the best herbal medicine that can be used by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, and it is a valuable herb that, when harvested, does not involve any harm to living creatures.
