Himalayan Herb - The Tiny Fungus That Effected Change For The Nepalese People

By:


It is thought that Yarsagumba's popularity increased when people around the globe began thinking of it as "Himalayan Gold" or "Himalayan Super Herbal". Yarsagumba, or Yarshagumba, is originally from the Latin words cordyceps sinensis, which means summer plant or winter insect in Tibetan. The herb is usually brought about by the fungi that is brought by the spores of the cordyceps mushroom landing on the forehead of a caterpillar, which eventually destroys the insect causing it to die dried out.

The Yarchagumba herb is a different kind of plant that only grows in dry valleys or plains more than 3,500 meters above sea level in the Himalayan areas as well as in Nepal, China, and Bhutan. The herb is often used as the residents' general remedy for all kinds of issues like soreness and tooth aches. Others allegedly use the herb to help with issues like lung and infections and leukemia. Additionally, studies have revealed that Yarsagumba has things like antibiotic properties, carbohydrates, SOD, vitamin B2, and zinc. Most also think it fixes impotency, which makes it quite well liked. Some biologists even consider the potentiality that Yarsagumba might be a cure for cancer.

It is the growing understanding of people involving the latter use of Yarchagumba that has destroyed the usual tranquility in this remote land. On the one hand, there are the Nepalese people who are defending their personal traditions and territory; and on the other, the foreign nationals looking to make money out of the plant's use.

To note, the international trade of Yarshagumba has expanded in the past couple of years, which is usually at their height during the dry months of May and June in Nepal. This involved the participation not only of the outsiders, but also of some desperate local leaders particularly in or next toDolpa, Western Nepal wherein nearly fifty percent of Yarchagumba is said to be located. At present, a kilo of Yarshagumba could cost more than $10k. At this price, it is easy to realize why it's such a benefit for leaders to get involved with the outsiders when it comes to benefiting from the crop.
