Cordyceps as aphrodisiac

In the Traditional Tibetan and Chinese Medicine Cordyceps is regarded as invigorating and aphrodisiac. It has a strengthening effect on the genitals and the neurological system, which is involved in the reproduction and the sexual drive. It affects the formation of sex hormones positively.
