Research conducted in Beijing has shown that most cases of cirrhosis of the liver occur in persons who are suffering from chronic hepatitis B. Depending on the degree of advancement of the hepatitis B and the pathological changes that have occurred in the liver, cirrhosis may gradually appear in many cases.
Cordyceps Sinensis and other Chinese traditional herbs can benefit those with liver cirrhosis and can even reverse the progression of early-stage cirrhosis.
Researcher Lin Ching-yuan of the Research Department of Veterans General Hospital in Taipei has announced that he has isolated an active component of Cordyceps Sinensis that can stop the progression of immunoglobulin nephritis. Immunoglobulin A nephritis in Asia, and currently lacks an effective means of treatment. 20% of those suffering from this condition die of kidney failure. Cordyceps Sinensis can stop this condition from worsening, and clinical trials have shown that it can also alleviate hematuria, albumimuria and edema.
Superior to the original Cordyceps Sinensis
Cordyceps Sinensis is a well known and important ingredient in Chinese Medicine and it is very widely used both in clinical medicine and as a household remedy. In the Compedium of Materia Medica, the great classic of Chinese medicine, Cordyceps is described in detail and is considered potent at strengthening lungs and kidneys, increasing energy and vitality, stopping hemorrhaging, decreasing phlegm, and as an overall tonic. After 20 years of study, the central pharmaceutical research unit of China has refined Cordyceps Sinensis Hyphas, the most effective component of Cordyceps Sinensis, using the most advanced scientific methods to provide the market with a homogenous, highly effective quality Chinese medicine that meets the requirements of modern pharmaceutical practice. Scientists have managed to remove the toxins of As and Pb which are normally found in the Cordyceps Sinensis herb. Over the course of ten years, Cordyceps Sinensis Hyphas has proved itself superior to the original Cordyceps Sinensis in tens of thousands of clinical tests carried out at several dozen central-grade schools in both Western and Chinese medical institutions.

Improve blood flow with Ginkgo (銀杏)
Looks like ginkgo biloba, the magical “memory pill”, can do more than just improving memory. A recent study indicates that not only can ginkgo help better pumping blood to the brain, it also improves blood flow in patients with coronary artery disease.
Scientists at China’s Hebei Medical University tested effects of Ginkgo biloba extract on vascular blood flow in patients with coronary artery disease.
According to the researchers, ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) has well-documented cardioprotective effects on coronary flow and positive effects on vasodilation through endothelium-derived nitric oxide in experimental animals. The endothelium (inner lining) of blood vessels use nitric oxide to signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax, thus resulting in vasodilation and increasing blood flow.
In this study, 80 patients with coronary artery disease were randomly assigned to either GBE or saline (control) groups.
Results showed that GBE significantly increased the left anterior descending coronary artery blood flow by up to about 10%. The treatment group also saw a jump in endothelium-dependent brachial artery flow-mediated dilation by as high as 69.75%.
Coronary arteries deliver blood to the heart muscle. Any coronary artery disorder or disease can have serious implications by reducing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the heart, which may lead to a heart attack and possibly death. By improving artery blood flow, ginkgo biloba extract may serve an important role of preventing complications in patients with coronary artery disease.
