Genghis Khan's Secret Recipe

Legend has it that Cistanche deserticola is a divine artifact sent by the gods to Genghis Khan. The famous "Battle of the Thirteen Wings" in history was an important battle during which Temujin (Genghis Khan) unified various tribes of the Mongolian grasslands. In the first year of the Jin Mingchang era (1190), Temujin became sworn into his brother Zamuhe and, due to his jealousy of Temujin's strength, joined forces with thirteen tribes including Taichiwu, totaling 30000 people, to attack Temujin. After Temujin received the report, he gathered 30000 troops and formed a Thirteen Wing (Battalion) to face the enemy. In the great battle between the two sides, Tiemuzhen was defeated and besieged on a sandy mountain covered in Haloxylon ammodendron forests. He was starving, thirsty, and exhausted. Zamuhe brutally divided the prisoners into seventy large pots and killed them in public, angering the gods of heaven. The Heavenly God sent a divine horse, which leaped in front of Genghis Khan and roared up to the sky, shooting its essence and blood toward the roots of the shuttle tree. Then, it used its hooves to scoop out plant root blocks resembling the genitalia of the divine horse. Genghis Khan and his generals ate the root blocks, and their divine power emerged. They rushed down the sand mountain, defeating the Zamuhe tribe, looting property and women, and laying the foundation for the unification of Mongolia. From then on, Genghis Khan ushered in an era of conquering the Eurasian continent.

Cistanche deserticola and the story of Emperor Qianlong

As the saying goes, "The Heavenly Immortal Mansion is the home of the God of the World." When it comes to the most healthful emperor in China, it is Emperor Qianlong. He reigned for sixty years, and after abdication, he served as the Emperor for three more years, enjoying the glory of 89 years.

Previously, due to limited medical conditions, many people died in a short period, and the average life expectancy of the entire society was very short. Especially for ancient emperors, the harem was crowded with beautiful women, who not only had to face busy government affairs every day but also lived a very luxurious life. So, according to some statistics, many emperors in ancient times passed away early due to disorderly private life.

Why do many emperors die young? Because the emperor has a comprehensive view of the world, no one can rival him, and of course, no one dares to interfere in his private life. Therefore, excessive sexual activity leads to damage to the essence of the body, and the lifespan is often not long. However, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty lived a long life, living to 89 years old. The longevity of Qianlong was surprising at that time, and news of his longevity even spread to the British royal family. So the British royal family sent envoys to China to explore the secret of Emperor Qianlong's longevity. At that time, Qianlong was already 83 years old, but he looked only 60 years old and was very healthy, surpassing the young people in both spirit and physical strength.

When the British envoy asked Emperor Qianlong about the secret of longevity, the imperial doctors told him: "Among the daily supplements that the emperor supplements, there is a traditional Chinese medicine called Dayun, also known as Cistanche deserticola." It can be seen that the health benefits of Cistanche deserticola have been discovered and used at that time.

It is said that there was a desert after the first cistanche. Because the cistanche absorbed the essence of the earth and the aura of all things, the earth became a desert.
