During The Dog Days, There Is A Lot Of Physical Wear And Tear, So Pay Attention To Replenishing Your Body At The Beginning Of Autumn

On August 7th, as the autumn solar term begins, although I still feel the scorching heat and hot air around me, the footsteps of autumn have already reached my ears. Liqiu is the thirteenth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and also the first solar term of autumn. During this season, the weather will gradually cool down, and people often feel the disappearance of heat and the arrival of coldness. During the season change, climate changes can easily weaken the body's immune system. Therefore, it is necessary to make some dietary adjustments to maintain good health.

In the book "Miscellaneous Works of Ming Medicine: Treatise on Heat Diseases", it is said that "if the summer moon causes heat, fever, excessive sweating, lack of energy, and weak and delayed meridians, this heat will also damage the vital energy." The hot days of summer are the most intense period for the dissipation of vital energy. Not only does the active metabolism of the body require the support of vital energy, but also the heat and sweating in heaven cause a certain loss of qi, blood, and body fluids. For people with unstable foundations and insufficient vitality, they may appear stretched thin, leading to fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, and dryness.

After entering autumn, it is most appropriate to start with a diet to supplement one's deficiency. On the one hand, it is to quickly replenish the energy deficit in summer; On the other hand, it is also to lay a solid foundation for the body in advance for the upcoming deep autumn and winter, and avoid being infected with "external evils".

Delaying aging

Medical research has shown that human aging is closely related to factors such as lipid peroxidation and membrane structure damage caused by free radicals in biological membranes. Under normal circumstances, superoxide is mainly cleared by SOD (superoxide dismutase). But as age increases, the activity of SOD in the body weakens, antioxidants decrease, and gradually aging occurs.

The phenylethanoid glycosides in Cistanche deserticola can significantly increase the activity of SOD in the body, prevent lipid peroxidation, alleviate brain atrophy, protect neuronal function, reduce free radical damage to the body, and enhance the body's antioxidant capacity to help resist the invasion of aging.

Research has shown that Cistanche deserticola can delay tissue aging and degeneration by affecting the CA1 region, leading to round nuclei, increased organelles, and even the distribution of chromatin at different cellular levels. The extract of Cistanche deserticola can also improve the aging symptoms of the body by reducing the LPO (lipid peroxidation) value in the human blood, restoring the physical strength and vitality of middle-aged and elderly people, and delaying aging. The ergosterol glycoside in Cistanche deserticola can promote lymphocyte proliferation, enhance non-specific cellular immunity and immune regulation function of the body, and enhance the immune function of the elderly by increasing the production of L-2 by T lymphocytes, thus achieving the effect of delaying immune aging and delaying aging. Pinecone chrysanthemum glycoside can exert anti-aging effects by delaying the aging of MRC-5 cells (human lung fibroblasts).

Recent studies have also shown a close correlation between aging and lipid peroxidation of biological membranes caused by free radicals. The phenylethanoid glycosides in Cistanche deserticola have the effect of reducing liver and serum MDA (malondialdehyde) content by inhibiting the decrease of serum and brain SOD activity. In addition, phenylethanoid glycosides can also delay aging by improving the body's immune function.

Cistanche polysaccharides can significantly enhance the antioxidant capacity of liver mitochondria, improve mitochondrial metabolism, and exert anti-aging effects; In addition, polysaccharides from Cistanche deserticola can significantly increase the activity of Ca2+- ATPase in the aging body's liver, the fluidity of liver mitochondrial membrane, and the activity of respiratory chain complexes I+III and II+III, thereby significantly reducing the MDA content and PLA2 (phospholipase A2) activity of liver mitochondria, improving their antioxidant capacity and energy metabolism, and exerting anti-aging effects.

With the continuous in-depth research on the anti-aging mechanism of Cistanche deserticola, its related pharmacological mechanisms are gradually becoming well-known, which helps to increase its market share in clinical anti-aging drugs and health products. At the same time, more and more Cistanche deserticola products will also contribute to improving our health level.

Moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements

Autumn is a dry season with a high incidence of gastrointestinal discomfort such as constipation, acute gastroenteritis, and indigestion. Cistanche deserticola can significantly increase the speed of small intestine propulsion, shorten defecation time, and also have a significant inhibitory effect on water absorption in the large intestine, thereby promoting the wetting and excretion of feces, and has a true moisturizing and laxative effect.

Nourishing Yin and Tonifying Kidney

Cistanche deserticola-improve kidney function 

Autumn nourishment mainly focuses on nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Cistanche deserticola has a nourishing effect on important organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys in the human body.

Cistanche deserticola has a warm nature and a sweet taste. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is the treasure of the desert, with functions such as nourishing the kidneys and essence, nourishing blood and yang, and strengthening tendons and bones. Symptoms of kidney yang deficiency and essence deficiency, such as mental exhaustion, fatigue, fear of cold, coldness in limbs, heaviness in the body, soreness in the waist and knees, decreased sexual function, impotence, and infertility due to cold uterus, can all be treated, especially suitable for those who are weak and afraid of cold.

The Shennong Bencao Jing states that Cistanche deserticola can nourish the five organs, strengthen yin, and benefit essence and qi. The book "Rihuazi Bencao" states that Cistanche deserticola can prevent male infertility and female infertility, and can nourish the five organs, grow muscles, and warm the waist and knees. This is because Cistanche deserticola has the principle of both yin and yang qi. Its thickening is a sufficient manifestation of yin formation, and it is warm and warm, which can help yang transform and activate. So it can invigorate the Yang Dao, benefit the essence, replenish fatigue injuries, and strengthen muscles and bones.

The "Shennong Bencao Jing" also mentions that Cistanche deserticola is mainly used to treat five types of labor and seven types of injuries. Five types of laborers, due to labor, toil, mental stress, and physical exertion, damage the true qi of the five organs. Seven types of injuries include food injury, drinking injury, sadness, physical exertion, pleasure injury, labor injury, and meridian defense qi injury. These seven types of injuries can all harm the true yin of the human body, and Cistanche deserticola is sweet, warm, and beneficial to the true qi, lubricating and nourishing the true yin. It is truly a good medicine for nourishing the five elders and seven injuries.

Moreover, ancient people also said that in extreme cases of overwork, poverty can only reach the kidneys. Most diseases eventually lead to damage to the yin and yang of the kidneys, so in the treatment of these chronic and difficult diseases, it is important to pay attention to nourishing the kidneys and balancing the essence and blood in the kidneys, which can enhance the effectiveness.

Cistanche deserticola fills the lean kidneys and can help improve kidney reproductive ability. So for those who suffer from infertility, impotence, and premature ejaculation, but belong to the category of yang deficiency and have insufficient vitality, they often use Cistanche deserticola combined with Morinda officinalis and Cynomorium solarium. In ancient times, there were Cistanche deserticola pills and Jingang pills, both of which used Cistanche deserticola to tonify the kidneys and strengthen the essence, helping the kidneys control reproduction and bones.

The consumption method of Cistanche deserticola is very effective when decocted, and decocted can also have a better effect. Cistanche can also be used to make wine, but alcohol can cause certain damage to the liver. Suggest drinking in moderation. Usually drink about 50 milliliters at a time, 1-2 times a week.

Cistanche deserticola has mild medicinal properties, does not cause irritation or dryness, is nourishing but non-toxic, and has no side effects on the human body. It is suitable for people who need to improve their physical function in the long term and is brewed into tea for convenient and healthy consumption. Take 3-5 grams of Cistanche deserticola every day, brew it with hot water once in the morning and once in the evening, and persist for half a month to take effect, which has a good impact on nourishing kidney function. Male medicine: Men should not drink more than three cups per day!

Effects Of Cistanche
