Description
Yarchagumba often written as Yarshagumba or Yarsagumba is a rare and inimitable herb which grows above the altitude of 3,500 m (11,483 ft) in the Himalayan region of Nepal. In Tibetan language, it means summer grass and winter worm as it lives as an insect during winter whereas it’s a plant during summer.
It is often considered as a Himalayan Herbal Viagra which is beneficial for health in many different ways. Either it’s headache, toothache or any diseases, it is the most trusted remedy in the Himalayas. Hence, the popularity of Yarsagumba is overwhelming in Nepal among tourists as well as locals these days.
Yarsagumba is a unique caterpillar-fungus fusion that occurs when parasitic mushroom spores (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) infect and mummify a ghost moth larva living in the soil. A spindly fungus later sprouts from the dead caterpillar host’s head. Two to six centimeters long, the fungus shoots above the soil, acting as a tiny, finger-shaped flag for harvesters to find. This peculiar hybrid is the world’s most expensive biological resource. Yarsagumba thrives in the picturesque peaks of the Himalayas, at altitudes of between 3000 and 5000 meters, in Nepal, India and Bhutan, and also on the “roof of the world” — the Tibetan Plateau. In Tibet, it’s called “Yartsa gunbu,” which translates to “summer grass winter worm.”
