Neglected health crisis: the troubles of excessive sexual activity and poor bowel movements

Effects of cistanche-Improve Kidney Function
In the fast-paced modern life, people face various health problems. Among them, the seemingly unrelated problems of excessive sexual activity and poor bowel movements often plague many people and seriously affect their quality of life.
Let's talk about excessive sexual activity first. In this era of gradual open-mindedness, people's attitudes towards sex are more tolerant, but at the same time, there is also a tendency towards excessive indulgence. Just like a friend I know, Xiao Li, who is newlywed and immersed in a sweet world with his wife, having frequent sexual intercourse. At first, they didn't feel anything wrong and instead enjoyed this intimate feeling. However, not long after, Xiao Li began to feel that something was wrong with her body. He always feels exhausted, mentally lethargic, and has difficulty concentrating at work, resulting in a sharp decline in performance. When he returned home at night, he didn't even have the strength to speak, and the relationship between the couple was also affected by his exhaustion. I went to see a doctor and found out that excessive sexual activity caused physical weakness and impaired kidney function.
Take another look at the constipation. Nowadays, many people have irregular daily routines and unhealthy diets. They often eat greasy and spicy foods and lack exercise, which can easily lead to poor bowel movements. My other colleague Xiao Zhang is a typical example. He sits in the office every day, sitting for the whole day and rarely getting up to move around. I don't pay attention to my diet either. I always take out food and eat very little vegetables and fruits. Gradually, he found it increasingly difficult to defecate, sometimes even for several days without any bowel movements. Every time I go to the bathroom, it takes a long time and is particularly painful. My stomach is always bloated, and my appetite is also affected, making me feel lethargic. Long-term constipation not only makes him physically uncomfortable, but also brings him great psychological pressure.

Constipation
Excessive sexual activity and poor bowel movements may seem like two separate issues, but in fact, they are intricately linked. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the kidneys are responsible for storing essence and regulating bowel movements. Excessive sexual activity can deplete kidney essence, leading to a decline in kidney function and subsequently affecting the excretion of stool. And poor bowel movements and inability to timely eliminate toxins from the body can further increase the burden on the body, damage kidney function, and form a vicious cycle.
So, is there any way to solve these two difficult problems? The answer is yes, that is Cistanche deserticola. Many people may still be unfamiliar with Cistanche deserticola, but it has a long history and excellent efficacy in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and is known as the 'desert ginseng'. Next, let's delve into Cistanche deserticola and see how it helps us solve the problems of excessive sexual activity and poor bowel movements, safeguarding our health.
Unveiling the mysterious veil of Cistanche deserticola

Cistanche deserticola
Cistanche deserticola, a magical plant that grows in the desert, is like a treasure hidden under the yellow sand of nature, emitting a unique charm for thousands of years. It mainly parasitizes the roots of the desert plant Salix, and grows tenaciously in the Gobi desert environment with extreme drought, strong sunlight, annual precipitation less than 250 millimeters, severe changes in temperature, strong winds and sand, and poor soil development. In order to adapt to the harsh desert environment, Cistanche deserticola has evolved a unique way of survival. It hides most of its body underground and relies on red willow trees to obtain the water and nutrients it needs for growth. Like a low-key hermit, it silently accumulates strength under the yellow sand.
From its appearance, Cistanche deserticola has a thick fleshy stem that is cylindrical or flattened cylindrical, like a thick golden rod buried in sand. Its surface is densely covered with fleshy scales arranged in a tile-like pattern, as if tailor-made armor, protecting it from thriving in harsh environments. When it emerges from the sand, spikes of flowers bloom at the top, with rich colors such as light purple, yellow, white, etc. Against the backdrop of the desert, it appears particularly charming and adds a touch of vitality and color to the barren desert.
Cistanche deserticola is known as the "desert ginseng", and this title is not just a name for itself. In ancient times, it was regarded as a precious tonic and a tribute from various countries in the Western Regions to the imperial court. According to historical records, during the Tang Dynasty, envoys from the Western Regions presented Cistanche deserticola to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and praised it for its "light appearance and youthful appearance", which greatly pleased Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Among the two things that Emperor Qianlong had to carry with him during his six visits to Jiangnan, there was Cistanche deserticola tea. This busy emperor reads memorials until late at night every day, relying solely on Cistanche deserticola to refresh himself and maintain abundant energy. In folk culture, there is also a saying that goes' It's better to have a basket of Cistanche than to have a bed full of gold and jade ', which shows its precious position in people's hearts.
With the development of modern science and technology, the mysterious veil of Cistanche deserticola has been further unveiled. Modern research has found that Cistanche deserticola is rich in various beneficial components for the human body, such as phenylethanolic glycosides, polysaccharides, amino acids, etc. These ingredients endow Cistanche deserticola with powerful effects, making it outstanding in nourishing the kidneys and yang, moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, regulating immunity, anti-fatigue, anti-aging, and other aspects, earning it the title of "Desert Ginseng".

Cistanche deserticola in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine
Cistanche deserticola occupies a significant position in traditional Chinese medicine, and its ability to nourish the kidneys has been highly praised by medical practitioners throughout history, leaving a strong mark in numerous classic medical books.
Tracing back more than two thousand years to the "Shennong Bencao Jing", this ancient book known as a classic of traditional Chinese medicine, has already listed Cistanche deserticola as a top-grade medicinal herb, recording that it "mainly works on the five aspects of labor and seven injuries, replenishes the middle, removes cold, heat, and pain in the stem, nourishes the five organs, strengthens yin, benefits essence and qi, and relieves women's symptoms. Long-term consumption can lighten the body". The term 'nourishing essence and qi' mentioned here is a manifestation of the kidney nourishing effect of Cistanche deserticola, indicating that it can supplement the body's essence and qi, and has a good regulating effect on physical weakness caused by labor injuries.
In the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded Cistanche deserticola in more detail: "Cistanche deserticola has a sweet taste, mild temperature, and is non-toxic. It replenishes the essence, nourishes the blood, moistens dryness, and prolongs color and age. It can treat male impotence, female impotence, moistens the five organs, grows muscles, warms the waist and knees, male ejaculation, hematuria, and vaginal discharge, and relieve vaginal pain." From this description, we can see that Cistanche deserticola can not only nourish kidney yang, nourish essence and blood, but also treat various kidney deficiency-related diseases, such as male impotence, nocturnal emission, premature ejaculation, and female uterine cold infertility. Moreover, it also has the effect of nourishing blood and moistening dryness, and has a good therapeutic effect on intestinal dryness and constipation caused by insufficient blood essence.

In ancient clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, Cistanche deserticola was often used in various kidney tonifying formulas. For example, the "Cistanche Pill" in the "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" mainly uses Cistanche as the main medicine, combined with other kidney tonifying herbs, to treat symptoms such as kidney deficiency, back pain, impotence, and premature ejaculation; The "Diamond Pill" in the "General Record of St. Ji" also uses Cistanche deserticola as its main medicine, which has the effects of tonifying the kidneys, strengthening bones, and filling lean marrow.

In a clinical study targeting male patients with sexual dysfunction, the experimental group taking extracts containing Cistanche deserticola phenylethanolic acid showed significant improvement in sexual function and effective relief of erectile dysfunction after a period of treatment.
The polysaccharide components in Cistanche deserticola also play an important role.

More importantly, polysaccharide components may improve reproductive system function by regulating endocrine function and providing support for kidney health.
