But mainly due to kidney yang deficiency and impotence. Kidney yang is the fundamental source of yang energy in the body, with functions such as warming the body, evaporating water, and promoting reproductive development. Kidney yang deficiency and decline lead to dereliction of duty due to warmth and warmth, and lack of power in qi transformation.

7. The Classic 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.

8. "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.

9. The Encounter of the Original Classic

Cistanche deserticola, the main herb in the "Classic of Materia Medica," is a type of herb that nourishes the body due to labor injuries. It is not the root deficiency of the vital energy and cannot generate soil due to the decline of fire. 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.

10. "Yu Li Yao Jie"

Cistanche deserticola, warming the waist and knees, promoting bone and meat health, nourishing the kidneys, liver essence, and blood, and nourishing 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, regulating the male's lack of vitality when the yang is cut off, and the female's lack of fertility when the yin is cut off, which is not a praise for beauty.

11. "Seeking Truth from Materia Medica"

Cistanche deserticola, as mentioned in various books, not only nourishes essence and blood but also suggests that its strength can stimulate yang and aid fire. It is because of its temperature that its strength is specialized in nourishing yin, and this yang is attached to yin, which naturally 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.

12. Bencao Justice

Cistanche deserticola, as stated in the "Classic of Materia Medica," is mainly used to store yin and nourish the injured, nourish the five internal organs, and strengthen yin. It is also known for its ability to nourish 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. 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 central qi and the incomplete accumulation of qi. It is not suitable for treating dysentery caused by heat stagnation, dampness, and heat stagnation.

Desert ginseng-Improve immunity 

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.

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.
