Strange yes, True? You bet, listen to this, in Nepal there were recently 19 villagers convicted of murder of a group of farmers in a fight over a prized aphrodisiac plant in which people call it the “Himalayan Viagra”.

The fight started when the right to harvest the plant, ensued, which led to the murder. Talk about being hard on them (bad joke). Yarsagumba is mostly used as a tonic. Its main applications are for treating exhaustion, respiratory and pulmonary diseases (e.g., tuberculosis, asthma), renal, liver, and cardiovascular diseases, back pain, and sexual problems (e.g., lack of sex drive, premature ejaculation). Its use as an aphrodisiac seems to be the driving force with male consumers in China.

The news is breaking just now, the victims went missing back in June of 2009. It was weeks before authorities learned of the deaths, due to the remote landscape of the area. Six have been found guilty of murder and given 20 year sentences, while 13 have received 2 years, but now are being released because they served time in custody.

So far 21 people were declared innocent, so that’s 21+13+6, wow that’s 40 people involved. I can’t believe a fight would break out over this. Every year during May and June, thousands of villagers from remote areas risking their own lives head for high mountains to collect yarsagumba.

It is estimated that one villager can earn up to Rs. 2,500 approximately to $35 a day by collecting yarsagumba which is beyond the monthly salary of many Nepalese households. Hey the economy is bad, and people are doing what they can.

I googled this so called plant, and it is actually a fungus. Before the rainy season begins, spores of the cordyceps mushroom settle on the heads of caterpillars’ that lives underground. The fungus gets so much into the body of the caterpillars’ that it grows out through its head and drains all the energy from the insect and ultimately it dies. And this is what is called Yarsagumba. You learn something new every day, apparently the taste is pleasant and sweet with a nutty flavor.

Yarsagumba, or Chongca in Chinese, has been harvested in Tibet for centuries and used in traditional Chinese medicine for a very long time. It spread to the Western world with the Chinese diaspora: in New York, the herb was always present in the historic Chinatown community, but very little known outside it.
