At the same time, although there is currently no clear contraindication for the compatibility of Cistanche deserticola, the similar medicinal properties of Lockyang and Cistanche deserticola may cause symptoms of internal heat when used together. In addition, if Cistanche deserticola is taken together with warm tonics such as Chinese medicinal herbs such as Dodder and Schisandra chinensis, it may enhance the effect of tonifying kidney yang and nourishing essence and blood, which can easily lead to excessive warm tonics and cause patients to have internal heat; If taken together with cold medicinal herbs such as lotus leaves and dandelions, it may worsen gastrointestinal motility and increase the risk of diarrhea.
There are also guidelines for decoction, and it is recommended that patients choose ceramic pots, clay pots, or enamel utensils for decoction.

In short, in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medication, it is necessary to use Cistanche deserticola in combination with other traditional Chinese medicines under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
