What is Desert Ginseng?

The so-called "desert ginseng" is not the ginseng from Changbai Mountain, but a highly tenacious parasitic plant called "Cistanche deserticola". Cistanche herb, also known as Cistanche herb or Dayun, is a parasitic plant that parasitizes the roots of desert trees such as Haloxylon ammodendron.

Cistanche herb is a tall plant that can grow to over 150 centimeters in height. If you have seen it again, friends may think it is not tall, mainly because its aboveground parts are very small, while its underground rhizomes can penetrate deep into the desert, absorbing nutrients and water from the host and the depths of the desert. Desert ginseng and cistanche will bloom beautifully in May and June, and the fruiting period is from June to August.

However, Cistanche herb used as traditional Chinese medicine must be harvested before flowering after excavation. Cistanche deserticola has the best efficacy during this period, and the efficacy of flowering Cistanche deserticola is greatly reduced.
