Historical Application Records Of Cistanche Deserticola

During the Han Dynasty, Cistanche deserticola, also known as Rousongrong, was recorded in the "Shennong Bencao Jing" and was listed as a top-grade herb. The "Ben Jing" states: "Rou Song Rong has a sweet taste and is slightly warm. It is used to nourish the central nervous system, relieve cold and pain in the stems, nourish the five internal organs, strengthen yin, benefit essence and qi, have multiple offspring, and is suitable for women with abdominal pain. Long-term consumption can lighten the body and produce valleys." The "Ben Jing" does not specifically describe the characteristics of the medicinal herbs of Rou Song Rong, but the meaning of its name includes the characteristics of Cistanche deserticola. The word "meat" in Cistanche deserticola reflects that this medicinal herb has flexibility. Based on its sweet taste and efficacy, and analysis of its indications, the varieties of Cistanche deserticola listed in the "Ben Jing" are the same as those in the current "Chinese Pharmacopoeia". The "Bielu" not only eliminates the evil energy in the bladder but also warms and nourishes it, while the cold evil in the water chamber is eliminated by itself. The waist is the home of the kidneys, and kidney deficiency leads to lower back pain. Cistanche deserticola benefits the kidneys and is used for treatment. Li, nowadays all trees are affected by dysentery, which is a stagnation of accumulated qi and not a self-benefit of diarrhea.

Cistanche can smooth the intestines, and dysentery is a stagnation of accumulated qi. It should be unblocked rather than firm, slippery to remove its impurities, and able to nourish the five internal organs without focusing on attacking and expelling them. This is suitable for long-term dysentery due to the deficiency of the middle qi. If the accumulated qi is not completely exhausted, it is not suitable for treating dysentery caused by heat stagnation, dampness, and heat stagnation. Cistanche is an extremely moist product that can be stored for a long time in the market due to salt. Ancient books have called it slightly warm, but today it is a salty and long-lasting stain. Its warmth has been eliminated, and even if it is washed very lightly, its nature will also be eliminated. Therefore, the various effects of nourishing yin and promoting yang that ancient people called are extremely weak, and the cover has become accustomed to it. It can no longer be considered as its original quality. But the salty taste can be reduced, the slippery taste can clear the intestines, and it can relieve discomfort in bowel movements, which is quite effective. Moreover, its nature is warm and moist, benefiting yin and yang, so it can clear the intestines without damaging body fluids, especially when walking alone.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the "Wu Pu Ben Cao" of the state of Wei recorded: "Cistanche deserticola, also known as Rou Song Rong. Shen Nong and Huang Di: salty. Lei Gong: sour. Li Shi: Xiao Wen. Born in the shady area of the eastern mountain of the river. It is three to four inches long and grows in clusters. It is also known as the" Yan Men "of the Dai county. It is harvested from February to August and used for the shade." The "Wu Pu Ben Cao" records the taste and characteristics of Cistanche deserticola, which is significantly different from the "Ben Jing". It is the first record of the origin, habitat, morphology, and harvesting season of Cistanche deserticola. The record of the nature, taste, and origin of Cistanche deserticola in the "Records of Famous Doctors" of the Jin Dynasty is consistent with the "Wu Pu Ben Cao", which added functions such as "eliminating bladder evil energy, lower back pain, and stopping dysentery". From the analysis of characteristics such as "three to four inches long, clustered." and "eliminating bladder evil energy," it is possible that the Cistanche deserticola from the Wei and Jin dynasties was the Grass Cistanche. The fleshy stems of Cistanche deserticola are upright, with the base swollen into blocks, and the stems are connected (clustered). Modern Chinese medicine literature also records that Herba Cistanche can treat cystitis.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, Tao Hongjing said: that Cistanche deserticola "looks like meat when it is born and is used as a lamb soup to nourish deficiency and fatigue. It can also be eaten raw. Rui Rui is the most abundant in the Henan region. Today, it first appeared in Longxi, with a flat and wide shape, soft and smooth, and many flowers and a sweet taste. It is also found in Badong and Jianping, but it is not the same." Rui Rui "has a gentle appearance. Henan is located in the southwest of Gansu Province, south of the Yellow River. The significant difference in medicinal properties between Cistanche deserticola, Saline Cistanche deserticola, and Sand Cistanche deserticola is that Cistanche deserticola is longer, thicker, and more flexible, while the latter two are shorter, smaller, and harder. The first one to emerge from Longxi today is Cistanche deserticola, which is flat and broad in shape, soft and smooth, with many flowers but a sweet taste; The second one to leave the northern country may have a shorter shape and fewer flowers, which may be salted Cistanche deserticola and sand Cistanche deserticola. The products produced in the areas of Badong and Jianping (now Wushan County, Sichuan Province) may be a type of clan.

The Tang Dynasty's New Revised Materia Medica was revised by the official based on the Annotations to the Compendium of Materia Medica. This annotation in "Tang Dynasty Materia Medica" discusses the herb Cistanche, but there is no meat found in the pottery. Today, people also use grass and cistanche to scrape off flowers and replace meat. This scripture contains Cistanche deserticola, with exceptional martial arts skills. Compared to doctors, those who are useful at times The sentence "This annotation discusses the grassy cistanche, but Tao has not seen any flesh" does not match the annotation of Tao Hongjing in the "Collected Annotations". It is suspected that it is a commentary on the "Bielu" text, which was also collected by Tao Hongjing. The Tang Bencao first proposed the name "Grass Cistanche", but the record of the medicinal properties is ominous. According to the "Shu Ben" picture, the Cistanche deserticola "comes from the sand of Lufu County (now Jiuquan, Gansu) in Suzhou. In March and April, the roots are dug, and the best ones in the center are cut into three or four inches. The rope is threaded through the shade and dried until August. The skin is like pine scales, and the roots are more than one foot long." It also says, "The grass Cistanche deserticola is harvested in mid-April, and it grows from five to six inches to one foot long. The stems are round purple, flattened by pressing, and dried daily. It is found in Yuanzhou (now Guyuan, Ningxia), Qinzhou (now Tianshui, Gansu), and Lingzhou (now southwest of Lingwu, Ningxia)." The Cistanche deserticola may be a salted Cistanche deserticola. According to literature, the Tang Dynasty Cistanche, also known as Salt Cistanche, has been preserved to this day in the Imperial Palace of Japan. Salted Cistanche deserticola has abundant resources in Jiuquan, Gansu, among which the Grass Cistanche deserticola is a plant of the Orobanchaceae family. In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is recorded that "Cistanche deserticola has three coins, three decoctions, and one preparation, and is consumed with hot water. Its yang organs will never decline."

In the late Five Dynasties period, the "Rihuazi Bencao" recorded: "There is also the flower Cistanche, which is a spring seedling that has a relatively weak ear." "It is used to treat male infertility, female infertility, nourish the five organs, grow muscles, warm the waist and knees, male ejaculation, urine and blood, drainage, and lower genital pain." Li Shizhen believes that the flower Cistanche is also a nickname for "Liedang". According to Liedang, the Song Dynasty's "Kaibao Bencao", also known as "Grass Cistanche" in the "Bencao Tujing". Ming Dynasty's Wang Xiangjin said, "Liedang is known as Grass Cistanche, Flower Cistanche, and Chestnut Cistanche. It is found in Qinzhou, Yuanzhou, and Lingzhou. Seedlings are harvested in late spring and mid-April, with a length of five to six inches to one foot. The stem is round and white, and it is flattened and dried in the sun. Its performance is inferior to that of Cistanche deserticola, so it is called Liedang."

During the Song Dynasty, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" stated that "Cistanche deserticola" is commonly found in Shaanxi provinces and counties today, but it is not as strong as those from the Western Qiang tribe. Its flesh is thick and tight... Its skin is like pine nuts with scales and armor, and there is a thin and flat root under the seedlings, which is more than a foot long. The root is harvested in March... The "Compendium of Materia Medica" (actually a collection of annotations to the "Compendium of Materia Medica") states that it is harvested on the fifth day of the fifth month. In May, it is feared that one will become old, so it is often harvested in the third month. "The accompanying medicinal material picture of Cistanche deserticola is consistent with the current authentic Cistanche deserticola. It is particularly reasonable to set the harvest season as March, pointing out that "May may be too old", which is consistent with the modern harvest season. In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Cistanche deserticola enters its peak growth period, with abundant seedlings, empty fleshy stems, and a decrease in the quality of medicinal materials. The record of Grass Cistanche in the Bencao Tujing is consistent with that in the Shu Bencao, but it is also referred to as Grass Cistanche. Chen Yanyun of the Southern Song Dynasty said, "Cistanche deserticola is like the shell of a carp, with thin tail scales and thick flesh. It has a sweet and salty taste and a fragrant aroma. When cut, it becomes coal with patterns, and when chewed, it turns into residue without residue." Thin and fake are also fake with banana roots and cockscomb flower stems. "He also quoted the" Shi Zhai Fang "as saying," If there is no Cistanche deserticola, deer antler can be replaced. "Records of counterfeit and substitute products of Cistanche deserticola during the Southern Song Dynasty indicate that authentic Cistanche deserticola is rare.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Zhenheng said, "After the mixing of the Hexi region, only now can we recognize its true form. How could there be a person with scales and armor?"? The covered cistanche is rare, and many people make it from golden lotus roots in salt pots. And fill it with grass and cistanche, and the user shall declare it for review.

The Ming Dynasty's "Materia Medica Meng Quan" records: "The tender pine shoots are salted and moistened to form Cistanche deserticola." This also indicates that the authenticity of Cistanche deserticola is rare. The Compendium of Materia Medica: Cistanche deserticola is a medicine that nourishes the gates of life, nourishes kidney qi, and nourishes essence and blood. The male Dan Yuan is weak and cold, while the Yang Dao is prolonged and heavy. The female Chong Ren is imbalanced and the Yin Qi is not treated. This is a calming and tonifying agent, warm but not hot, nourishing but not severe, warm but not dry, and smooth but not leaking, hence the name calmness. The Compendium of Materia Medica: Cistanche deserticola is an essential medicine for nourishing the kidneys and nourishing essence and blood. Its qi is originally slightly warm, and it is said that those who think it is hot are also mistaken. Gan can eliminate heat and nourish the middle, acid can enter the liver, salt can nourish the kidneys, and the kidneys and liver are yin. Yin qi grows, and the fatigue and heat of the five organs will self-subside, and the cold, heat, and pain in the penis will self-heal. The kidney, liver, and foot indicate a daily increase in essence and blood, while excessive essence and blood indicate multiple offspring. Women's abdominal pain is caused by blood stasis. If blood is abundant, the symptoms will disappear on their own. Bladder deficiency is caused by pathogenic factors, and if it is replenished, the evil energy will dissipate and lower back pain will stop. If taken for a long time, it will be plump, healthy, and light on the body. It has the effect of nourishing the kidneys, liver, essence, and blood. If it is said to treat dysentery, how can it be smooth to guide stagnation? This cannot be said. Baijiu can be boiled thoroughly and eaten at a meal. Since the Song Dynasty, it has been known that Cistanche deserticola has been used as the main source of discharge, and even as the main source of blood collapse and drowning. It is used to supplement yin and assist yang, which is known as having the effect of absorbing and consolidating yin. You should know that smooth and sharp products have more than enough channels, and Xi can be firm and astringent. The "Ben Jing" eliminates cold, heat, and pain in the yin, and is used to tonify yin and promote yang. If it is smooth, it will not cause ear pain. Later generations extended its meaning, misunderstood it as Da Bu, and instead sought to use Tongli to treat slippage, which is absurd. "Compendium of Materia Medica": This substance supplements but is not severe, so it has the name "calm". Before using it, soak it in sake overnight, then use a brown brush to remove sand and floating armor, cut through the center, and remove a layer of white film like bamboo, silk, and grass. Having this can keep the qi in front of the heart and make one feel angry. To steam it, take it out from noon to dusk, and then stir fry it to obtain the desired result.

In the Qing Dynasty's "Compendium of Materia Medica Seeking Truth", it is said that Cistanche deserticola, as mentioned in various books, not only nourishes essence and blood but also has the power to stimulate yang and aids fire. It is because of its temperature that the power is specialized in nourishing yin, and this yang is attached to yin, and yang naturally appears and stimulates the ears. Only its strength can nourish, so any lumps or lumps in the abdomen will be firm and disappear immediately. Only when it nourishes and Yang is assisted, can any nocturnal emission or pain in the stem, cold or hot, also be eliminated as a result. If it is said that the fire has declined to the extreme, using this sweet and moisturizing product, like Gui and Fu, can replenish Yang with strength, and its loss is far away. Moreover, this not only refers to tonifying yin but also takes the name of Cistanche deserticola. This is because its power is not sudden, and its qi is specialized in moistening dryness. It is also suitable for constipation, but not for people with stomach deficiency. It is possible to nourish yin, but it is not necessarily necessary to replenish fire. "As long as an arm, weighing up to about a pound, those with pine scales and armor are good." This is consistent with today's authentic Cistanche deserticola. "Yuzhuan Medicinal Solution": Cistanche deserticola can warm the waist and knees, strengthen bones and meat, nourish the kidneys, liver essence, and blood, and nourish the intestines and stomach. The feces are hard and small, shaped like sheep droppings. This soil is damp and woody, and the lower orifices are blocked. Gu Zi is in the stomach, unable to flow down, sporadically transmitted, broken, and disconnected, experiencing the dryness of the large intestine during the Yangming period. It is refined into granules, secretive and astringent, difficult to pass through, and always due to the withering of the wind and wood, it cannot be relieved. Taking one dose of Rehmannia glutinosa and Turtle glue can benefit the soil moisture and lead to the decline of Qi. Cistanche deserticola nourishes the wood and cools the wind, nourishes blood and moistens dryness, is good at smoothing the large intestine, and produces feces below. Its nature is calm and unhurried, and it is not comparable to other nourishing medicines for dampness and spleen damage. The book describes it as nourishing the essence of refinement, pleasing the color and prolonging the years, and emphasizing the importance of treating men's lack of yang and women's lack of yin, which is not a praise for beauty. The Encyclopedia of Materia Medica: Cistanche deserticola, the main herb in the Classic of Materia Medica, is used to nourish the injured. It is due to the decline of fire and cannot generate soil, and is not the root deficiency of the middle qi. For those who treat women with abdominal pain, the salt can be soft and firm, and the blood can also be separated. Cistanche also stops ejaculation and drooling, eliminates heat and pain in the stem, and uses it to guide deficiency fire. Old people are dry and should cook Congee. "Bencao Zhengyi": Cistanche deserticola, which is mainly treated in the "Beijing", is said to be stored in. It is mainly used to nourish the injured, nourish the five internal organs, and strengthen yin, all of which contribute to nourishing yin. If the stem is cold, hot, and painful, it is a disease of kidney deficiency and coldness. Cistanche deserticola decreases in thickness and enters the kidney directly. It is warm and can moisten, without the harm of dryness and fierceness. It can warm and nourish essence and blood, and promote yang qi, hence it is called nourishing essence and qi. The main symptom of the abdomen is that it can be salty, soft, and firm, and can penetrate the blood circulation. It can also nourish yin essence, warm and nourish yang qi, and promote the flow of qi and blood without blockage.

Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, a total of 10 editions of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia have been published, from the initial 1953 edition to the current 2015 edition. The record of Cistanche deserticola began with the 1963 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, which first included Cistanche deserticola. Its basal plant was the salt-borne Cistanche salsa (C.A. Mey) G. Beek, a member of the family Orobaceae. The subsequent 1977 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia included Cistanche deserticola as the basal plant of Cistanche deserticola deserticola Y.C.Ma And added physical and chemical identification items, until the Chinese Pharmacopoeia published in 1995 did not add any new content to the record of Cistanche deserticola. With the progress and development of technology, people's understanding of Cistanche deserticola has gradually deepened from the initial simple understanding of its characteristics to the study of its fingerprint. The 2000 edition of Pharmacopoeia added the content determination of the active ingredient ergosterol under the heading of Cistanche deserticola. The 2005 edition of the Pharmacopoeia added the Cistanche tubulosa (Schrenk) Wight as the source plant of Cistanche deserticola, and the content detection included echinoside and glycoside (ergosterol). The 2010 edition of the Pharmacopoeia mainly revised the detection methods for echinoside and glycoside and raised the standard requirements for active ingredients.
