Cordyceps is known for its ability to enhance the body's immune response. It stimulates the production of white blood cells and improves the activity of immune cells like macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells, which play a critical role in fighting infections, including bacterial and viral pneumonia.
By boosting the immune system, Cordyceps helps the body better fight off the pathogens causing pneumonia, whether they are bacterial, viral, or fungal.
Pneumonia often leads to significant lung inflammation, which can cause symptoms like coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Cordyceps has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation in the lungs and airways, providing relief from respiratory discomfort.
