Cistanche: A Natural Herb For Premature Ovarian Insufficiency, Scanty Periods & Menopausal Syndrome
May 09, 2026
Many women experience early menopause or scanty menstruation long before reaching the natural menopausal age-a condition clinically diagnosed as Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). Conventional care often focuses on nutritional support or estrogen replacement, but Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) takes a holistic approach, targeting the root: Liver, Spleen, and Kidney imbalance.
Recorded in Fu Qingzhu's Gynecology, a classic TCM text, Yijing Decoction has long been used to treat women with early menopause or reduced menstrual flow. Today, we modernize this ancient wisdom with high‑potency Cistanche tubulosa extract-the premium herb for ovarian and menstrual health.
Why Cistanche tubulosa?
We are Chengdu Wecistanche Bio-Tech Co., Ltd., the world's largest manufacturer specializing in Cistanche tubulosa extract (Guanhua Cistanche). Our extract has significantly higher active ingredient content (phenylethanoid glycosides, polysaccharides, verbascoside) than common cistanche varieties, making it far more effective for female reproductive care.
Cistanche, known as "Desert Ginseng," is a gentle, safe, medicinal‑food herb that:
Warms and tonifies Kidney Yang
Replenishes Essence and Blood
Moistens the Intestines
Balances endocrine function
Supports ovarian health & eases menopausal discomfort
It aligns perfectly with TCM's core strategy for menstrual and menopausal health: tonify the Kidney, soothe the Liver, strengthen the Spleen.

Yijing Decoction Reimagined: Cistanche as the Core Herb
The original Yijing Decoction focuses on tonifying the Kidney, nourishing the Blood, soothing the Liver, and strengthening the Spleen. We upgrade it with our high‑purity Cistanche tubulosa extract to enhance absorption and effectiveness for modern women.
