Chaga also known as "The mushroom of immortality". As we get older, we all know the ailments associated with it. Gradually we feel more and more pains, we are less able to get out of our feet, we sometimes forget something and yes unfortunately our body does not get any better with age. Is there nothing I can do about it now I wonder? Can't we slow down that aging a bit? I don't expect to stop completely, but still? In my search for a solution on the internet, I came across a fascinating article that explained how the aging process works and what we could do to get a better grip on it. But what is aging really?

Where does naturopathy actually come from?
Did you know that the medicines we use today stem from a long tradition of medicine that goes far back in time. Think of ancient China with its traditional medicine (3000 BC), ancient Egypt (around 2000 BC) and the old traditions within the African tribes. This medicine mainly developed within one's own country and within one's own culture, but with the increase in trade routes and the migration of people, the development of medicine was influenced by it. Part of that knowledge ended up in Western Europe via the Greeks and Romans, where this information was written down and stored. That was not surprising because many monastic orders studied this information, were educated, could write and also mastered the art of printing.
Is your libido lower rather than higher?
If a lot of research has been done on one mushroom, both in the West and in the East, with a positive result, it is the Cordyceps. We know two species of this mushroom, the Cordyceps Sinensis and the Cordyceps Militaris. Without going into further detail, we can assume that the Cordyceps Militaris is the most commonly used. This is mainly because the costs associated with harvesting the Cordyceps Sinensis are extremely high (the costs quickly amount to $20,000 per kilo). In China - and unfortunately still little in the West - Cordyceps is used by many top athletes to increase their performance. For example, the Chinese team is known to have achieved impressive team performances at the 1992 Olympic Games.
