Cistanche deserticola

Cistanche is a parasitic plant that grows on the roots of other plants. It usually chooses a host tree with strong roots that penetrate deep into the ground and can absorb water from deep underground. Its root system clings tightly to the root system of the host tree to absorb nutrients. In spring, new shoots can break through the ground to grow above.

Cistanche can survive in harsh climates thanks to its thick layer of leaves. Since about 2,000 years ago, Cistanche has been present in kidney tonics, aphrodisiacs, and physical enhancements for men and is listed in the bookShennong's Herbal, the oldest book of Oriental medicine.

In Oriental medicine, Cistanche deserticola has a warm, sweet taste, and the effect of nourishing the kidneys, supporting yang, promoting blood circulation, improving physiological function, strengthening tendons, and activating bones. This herb is especially suitable for people with weak physiology, kidney failure, or spermatorrhea.

According to the research results recorded in the bookDictionary of modern health-preserving medicines, Cistanche contains boschnaloside, orobanin, 8-epilogahic acid, betaine, many organic acids and over 10 amino acids. These substances act as sex hormones to help increase physical strength, increase physiology, and increase immunity.
