This ‘worm herb’ is sold more expensive than gold! Know the countless benefits of precious Himalayan herb like Gucchi.

‘Kida Jadi’ (Cordyceps Sinensis / Himalayan Gold), found in the inaccessible and snowy areas of the Himalayas, is one of the rarest and most expensive herbs in the world. Its price ranges up to lakhs of rupees per kilogram in the international market, due to which it is also called ‘Himalayan Gold’. It is not an ordinary plant or herb, rather it is a unique mixture of a natural fungus and caterpillar. During the winter season, a particular species of worm goes underground and a fungus grows on it. In summer, when the snow melts, this worm dies and a herb-like plant comes out of its head.

A panacea for increasing stamina, energy and fertility.

Wormwood has been used for centuries as a powerful ‘adaptogen’ in traditional Tibetan and Chinese medicine. Its main benefit is to increase the body’s stamina, energy level and athletic performance. It promotes the production of ATP in the body cells, which relieves fatigue and strengthens the ability to breathe. Apart from this, it has been considered extremely effective in improving fertility, libido and physical weakness in men and women.

Boon for immunity booster, anti-aging and heart health

Antioxidants, polysaccharides and active ingredients like Cordycepin are found in abundance in Keeda Jadi. These elements make the body’s immunity system many times stronger. It helps in reducing the effects of aging i.e. wrinkles and weakness. With its regular consumption, bad cholesterol level is controlled, blood pressure is balanced and the risk of heart attack is significantly reduced.

Anti-cancer properties and lung-kidney protection

In many modern researches, it has been found that anti-cancer properties are present in wormwood, which help in preventing the growth of cancer cells in the body. Apart from this, it is an excellent medicine for patients suffering from asthma, bronchitis and other lung infections. It helps in removing harmful toxins from the body by improving the functioning of the kidneys.

Caution in use: Do not consume without medical advice

Since wormwood is extremely powerful and hot in nature, it should be used very limitedly and in the correct quantity. Many types of adulterated or fake herbs are also sold in the market in its name. Health experts recommend that people suffering from autoimmune diseases, pregnancy or any serious illness should not consume it at all without the advice of a skilled Ayurveda expert or doctor.
