It has long been used to support reproductive and sexual function, enhance libido, and maintain sexual and cognitive health, especially in older decades of life as a remedy for fatigue, asthenia, or following a long illness.

Traditional uses include the treatment and prevention of cancer and infections (e.g., leukemia), chronic allergic and inflammatory diseases of the lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, and heart, and protection against their long-term sequelae through balancing blood sugar (e.g., diabetes), lipids, and inflammatory processes (e.g. vasculitis). For all of these traditional indications, cordyceps is often classified as an adaptogen, an agent capable of improving resistance to physical, chemical, and nervous stressors in numerous non-specific and tonifying ways, and has become popular in the last several decades for improving stamina and athletic performance
