On the Silk Road, in addition to the vast desert and endless wind and sand, there are many moving legends and treasures spreading along the way. Among them is a treasure called the "Golden Sun" that is still shining in the desert. It is Cistanche. Why is it called Cistanche as the "Golden Sun"?

In the barren and desolate desert, the environment that can withstand the scorching sun and the water is so little that there are very few plants. There is a bush called the Haloxylon tree, which has tenacious vitality in the harsh desert. The essence of heaven and earth is exhausted from the sun. The Cistanche parasitic on the roots of the Haloxylon tree has become the perfect carrier of this essence, which is the "Golden Sun".

Cistanche benefit

The Silk Road in the past was not as convenient as it is now. Walking in the desert for a few days, whether it is people or camels carrying heavy goods, they are very weak and exhausted. People often fall on the way. For caravans, It’s okay for people to fall down, but what to do if the camel gets tired? At this time, I will look for a plant in the desert like a small pagoda-Cistanche, boil the Cistanche soup, and have a bowl of both people and camels. After a while, you will have the spirit and strength, and you can walk to the inn to rest. There are many folk remedies that use Cistanche to relieve backache, fatigue, mental fatigue, and kidney deficiency. In the scarce desert, Cistanche is undoubtedly a miracle. Its fleshy stems can save lives in times of crisis, and other parts can be fed to camels. When they bloom, they look like a small pagoda, with small yellow or purple flowers blooming. So people call it the little golden sun.

Cistanche has a very high medicinal value. It contains a lot of rare nutrients such as amino acids, cysteine, tryptophan, and total yellow. It is also one of the most frequently used tonic drugs in tonic prescriptions. In the "Tao Zang" of the Tang Dynasty, it was classified as one of the "Nine Great Immortals of China"; historically, Cistanche was a tribute to the imperial court from the countries of the Western Regions; now, it enjoys the reputation of "desert ginseng", together with ginseng and deer antler It is listed as one of China's top three tonics.

Following in the footsteps of the ancestors into the vast desert, you will be pleasantly surprised to find the figure of Cistanche, stubbornly breaking through the soil, as long as there is a soaking rain, you can bloom lavender flowers, crowded and crowded to bloom, showing With strong vitality, it adds green and vigor to the desert. With Cistanche, deserts and semi-deserts are no longer useless and barren land, and land desertification has gradually improved.

Now, some herders often go to the depths of the desert to look for the golden sun. If you find a Cistanche, you will be able to blow it for a long time!
