People with kidney yang deficiency generally have functional disorders of the neuroendocrine system, and kidney tonifying and yang-boosting drugs often exhibit hormonal effects to regulate hormone balance in the body. At the same time, they also act on the hypothalamic-pituitary gland to regulate the function of the endocrine gland axis and increase hormone levels in the body.

Cistanche deserticola contains abundant alkaloids, crystalline neutral substances, amino acids, trace elements, vitamins, and other components. It can nourish kidney yang, benefit essence, and blood, suppress the occurrence of "yang deficiency" symptoms, and prevent weight loss. It can effectively prevent and treat diseases such as male kidney deficiency and impotence, nocturnal emission, and premature ejaculation, as well as female menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, and infertility.

Many familiar medicines, such as Bushen Zhuangyang Pill, Huiren Shenbao Tablet, Suoyang Gujing Pill, and Nanbao Capsule, have added Cistanche deserticola, demonstrating their kidney tonifying ability!

In addition, the kidney-tonifying effect of Cistanche deserticola is different from other kidney-tonifying drugs such as Suoyang, Epimedium, and Morinda officinalis. Firstly, Guanhua Cistanche can tonify the kidneys without damaging the yin. Long-term use of it generally does not cause symptoms such as excessive heat or dry mouth. Therefore, the Compendium of Materia Medica states that it is "tonifying but not complete, hence the name" calm ", which means to tonify the kidneys with calmness; Secondly, Guanhua Cistanche is suitable for both men and women to tonify the kidneys, so it can treat both male impotence and female infertility.

2. Hepatoprotective and sobering effects

Total glycosides of Cistanche deserticola can inhibit liver cancer cells at the early stage of liver cancer

The liver is the largest detoxifying organ in the human body, and many toxins in the body need to be metabolized by the liver. Staying up late, smoking and drinking, being greasy and spicy... these are the things that the liver fears the most. When there is an excessive accumulation of toxins in the body, the liver will strike, the function of liver cells will decrease, and the detoxification ability will also be greatly reduced.

Principle: The effective component of Cistanche deserticola, total glycosides of Cistanche deserticola, has the effect of reducing cell apoptosis and necrosis, increasing cell survival rate, and achieving protection of primary liver cells; At the same time, it can accelerate the liver's metabolism of alcohol, help the liver detoxify and detoxify, and have a good alleviating effect on liver diseases caused by excessive alcohol consumption.

Menda Zhongli and others also found through research that the active extract obtained from Cistanche deserticola has hepatoprotective activity. Further research by Chinese scholar Zhang Hongquan has confirmed that polysaccharides from Cistanche deserticola can significantly improve appetite loss and weight loss in mice, reduce excessive levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, and combat liver damage caused by carbon tetrachloride.

3. Whitening and beauty enhancement

Desert living cistanche-Antioxidant

Skin darkening is mainly related to the deposition of melanin, and the number of melanocytes is not only closely related to genetics but also to the nutritional status of our postnatal life. When our endocrine system is disrupted, we often produce more melanin, which is a biological pigment formed by a series of chemical reactions with tyrosine.

Principle: The active ingredient of Cistanche deserticola, total glycosides of phenylethanol, has a significant downregulation effect on tyrosinase activity. It can effectively inhibit skin pigmentation, remove excess melanin from the body, detoxify the body, regulate endocrine function, nourish the lungs, and make the skin fair and tender.

4. Antioxidant and anti-aging (stay away from sub-health)

The process of human aging is the increase of free radicals in the body. Free radicals are cell-like reactive oxygen species that are free in our bodies. When they remain constant with normal cells in the body, they will play a good role in immunity and signal transduction. But more free radicals can cause an imbalance in the internal environment of the body, leading to damage to normal cells and tissues, and thus causing various diseases.

Principle: The phenylethanol glycoside compounds in Cistanche deserticola have the effects of clearing free radicals, increasing SOD (superoxide dismutase) activity, and reducing MDA (malondialdehyde) content. Polysaccharides from Cistanche deserticola have the effects of delaying organ physiological degradation and cellular morphological degeneration. All of the above components can have antioxidant and anti-aging effects. Persist in eating for some time, and the whole person will feel refreshed.

Modern pharmacological research has shown that Cistanche deserticola has significant anti-aging effects. The extract of Cistanche deserticola not only significantly reduces the content of lipid peroxides (LP0) in the human body, but also has a significant inhibitory effect on the generation of lipid peroxides in rabbit blood and mouse liver. It can also significantly prolong the lifespan of fruit flies. The polysaccharides and mannitol in desert deserticola can increase the content of hydroxyproline in mouse skin and delay skin aging. The aging model mouse experiment showed that Cistanche deserticola extract has a significant improvement effect on the volume of liver cell ultrafine particles and the ultrafine particles in the cerebral cortex.

Why does Cistanche deserticola have antioxidant and anti-aging properties? Japanese scholar Shigeru Menda has confirmed through research that the phenylethanolamine glycosides contained in the extract of Cistanche deserticola are effective ingredients for clearing free radicals and antioxidants.

5. Neuroprotection

Benefits of cistanche tubulosa-Anti Alzheimer's disease

Neuroprotection is closely related to our brain cells. Our brain cells are nonrenewable, and once they complete development, they cannot increase in value. Every dead cell loses one. When they decrease to a certain extent, the rate of information transmission by brain cells will greatly decrease, memory will decline, and physical behavior will also suffer from many problems due to slow information transmission to the brain. Therefore, since we cannot let it regenerate, protecting it from withering is also a method of neuroprotection.

Principle: The active ingredient phenylethanol total glycoside in Cistanche deserticola can protect nerve cells, inhibit neuronal apoptosis, improve cell survival rate, repair neurons, effectively resist Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease, and improve learning ability; The metabolites of total phenylethanol glycosides can directly act on brain cells through the blood-brain barrier, increase brain capacity, delay brain cell aging, maintain sustained brain cell activity, and effectively improve learning and memory abilities.

6. Runchang laxative effect

effects of cistance-treat constipation 

Happy people are all the same, but unhappy people are all different.

The pain suffered due to constipation is probably only known to the constipated person. To avoid constipation, I have tried every method, and some people even reduce their meals to avoid constipation, causing only their pain. Eating less can slow down gastrointestinal motility, and food cannot stimulate the stomach, which can lead to constipation; The less you eat, the less feces you have, the less pressure you have in your large intestine, and the more severe your constipation becomes.

Principle: Galactols and oligosaccharides in Cistanche deserticola can significantly promote intestinal peristalsis, increase intestinal osmotic pressure, inhibit the absorption of water in the large intestine, and have the effect of promoting bowel movements without replenishing vitality. Experimental results have shown that the extract of Cistanche deserticola, rich in echinacea, has a good improvement effect on colitis induced by sodium gluconate sulfate.

Cistanche deserticola has a mild nature and can enter the kidney and large intestine meridians, especially in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer caused by constipation. The mechanism can be explained by the fact that Cistanche deserticola has the effects of promoting small intestine peristalsis, inhibiting the absorption of water in the large intestine, and shortening defecation time. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly constipation patients with insufficient yang energy, body deficiency constipation, postpartum constipation, postoperative constipation, habitual constipation, etc.
