Cordyceps vs Ginseng

Cordyceps is a genus of parasitic fungi that has been used in Traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine for centuries. Wild Cordyceps sinensis grows on caterpillar larvae in the Himalayas and is extremely expensive. Modern cultivation techniques now produce Cordyceps militaris, which has similar bioactive compounds.

Panax ginseng, also known as Asian or Korean ginseng, is one of the most widely used herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The root has been prized for over 5,000 years as an energy tonic and adaptogen. Its name "Panax" derives from the Greek word for "all-healing," reflecting its traditional reputation as a cure-all.
