1. Nourishing yin while Strengthening yang
It is no doubt that Cistanche has the effect of replenishing kidney yang. But if you only regard it as "tonifying yang", it would be biased. The classic book "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" of Materia Medica states that "(Cistanche) mainly treats five labors and seven injuries, and builds up vital energy, and also removes the cold, heat and pain in the body. Cistanche also can nourish the five internal organs, strengthen the yin, nourish the essence, and have more children. ”[1] It emphasized that Cistanche has the effect of strengthening yin and nourishing vital energy. This theory has a considerable influence on later generations of Chinese medicine practitioners, such as Li Shizhen’s "Compendium of Materia Medica". It is recorded that this product "enriches the essence and blood", and treats Infertility, Moisturizes the five internal organs, treats Men's ejaculation, women's vaginal pain[2]. Ming. changing said that this product "Tastes heavy yin and also... tonify yin and yang” [3]. Qing · Zhang Bingcheng said that this product can tonify the kidney function for increasing the virility and sexual potency of the male. [4]. Huang Gongxiu said that this product “Nourishes the kidney and moistens dryness”[5]. Mr. Ye Juquan also praised this product as "a strong tonic medicine, treating nocturnal emission, impotence, warming the waist and knees, and aphrodisiac." [6]. The famous Chinese Doctor Professor Yan Dexin believes that this product "can not only warm the kidney yang but also nourish the essence and blood.” [7]. The author believes that in essence is the necessary material basis for yang function activities. Yang qi depends on the funding of yin essence to survive. Cistanche is good at nourishing yin essence. Just as Huang Gongxiu said, "Yang follows Yin and Yang sees prosperity.

2. Exquisite manufacturing method and Moderate Medicinal properties
From the analysis of the nature and flavor of Cistanche, it is sweet, salty, and warm in nature, sweet and warm to nourish yang and salty belongs to yin. Its flesh is soft and rich, which is naturally beneficial to yin essence. "Materia Medica Zhengyi" states that "Cistanche is an extremely moisturizing product, and all shops salted them to longer storage. Ancient books call it lukewarm, but if soaked by salt too long, the warmth has been eliminated." Actually, it is naturally convincing. Today's research by Zhang Bingxin points out that Cistanche is sweet and warm. salty but moisturizing. If used to make wine, it will become sweet, spicy, salty, and warm. Even enhances the warming and tonic [8]. Modern pharmacological studies also show that salt-based products have a stronger kidney tonic effect than light Cistanche deserticola. It is called Calm in ancient times, It can be seen that the ancients recognized the gentle characteristics of this product very early. Indeed, this product is warm but not hot, tonic but not severe, warm but not dry, gentle and not irritating, nourish yang but not dryness, nourish yin but not greasy. The characteristics of Cistanche are distinct from other yang-aiding medicines such as Curculion and Actinolith, which are warm and dry. If it talks about impotence, it is not as good as deer antler and curculio; if it talks about nourishing yin, it is not as good as Rehmannia and tortoiseshell.
3. Properly compatible and effective treatment
Based on the above understanding, Cistanche can be used regardless of the sexual dysfunction caused by kidney-yang deficiency or kidney-yin deficiency. The key point is the compatibility to maximize its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. So that makes full use of its nourishing yin and nourishing yang. For example, if mixed with eel and Polygonatum Juice, have the pill, it has ten times more effects… Combine the dodder to treat blood and blood in the urine. Add refined mutton to cure the failure of the essence. ("De Pei Materia Medica"). If Kidney Yin Deficiency Syndrome, often used in combination with Rehmannia, tortoiseshell, etc. If Kidney Yang Deficiency Syndrome, often used in combination with velvet antler, fairy spleen, etc. In terms of prescription selection, on the basis of syndrome differentiation and treatment, for impotence, low libido, and lack of orgasm, you can refer to Cistanche Pills in Medicine Heart Recipe, Cistanche Powder in “Qianjin Essential Recipe”, Chen Shiduo's Life-Saving Pill and Zhuanghuo Pill, the famous and old Chinese doctor Chen Shusen's experience prescription, and there are some ancient prescriptions such as Quanlu Wan, Zan Yu Dan, Tie Gou Wan, etc. (all of the above contain Cistanche ) are also of the great clinical reference value.

The author’s clinical observation: In recent years, the sexual dysfunction caused by psychological factors has gradually increased. Those who are thinking about hurting the mind can be used with Baiziren, Suanzaoren, etc.; for those who are afraid of hurting the kidney, they can be used with Rehmannia glutinosa, Shouwu, etc.; Depression hurts the liver. For those, it can be matched with white British quinoa, Albizia julibrissin, and so on.
