Aug 24, 2023

If traditional Chinese medicine is compared to humans, there is a traditional Chinese medicine that is more like "warm man", it is the cistanche.

Cistanche tubulosa grows in desert or semi-desert areas and can nourish kidney yang, but it is not a fierce nourishment, but a slow, peaceful, and leisurely process. In addition, its entire stem is fleshy, moist, and liquid, so this is the origin of its name - the appearance is fleshy, and the inside is calm. The cursive head is added after. It also has a unique name: Dayun.
