Speaking of Cistanche deserticola, many people may not be very familiar with it, but you should know the historical story of Cistanche deserticola.
According to legend, Cistanche deserticola was a gift from the gods to Genghis Khan. The famous "Battle of the Thirteen Wings" in history was a war that broke out during Genghis Khan's unification of various grasslands in Mongolia.
At that time, Genghis Khan's good brothers, out of jealousy, joined forces with all other countries to attack Genghis Khan. The gods couldn't bear it, so they arranged for Shenma to help Genghis Khan. Shenma jumped up to Genghis Khan, howled loudly in the sky, and then used his horse hooves to dig out an object that looked like Shenma's reproductive organ. This was the Cistanche. Genghis Khan distributed the Cistanche to various soldiers. After the soldiers finished eating it, they all had strength and broke through the Zhamuhe tribe in one fell swoop.
Cistanche deserticola Y.C.Ma, a traditional Chinese medicine for tonifying the kidney, is recorded in the 2015 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. It is a succulent stem of the genus Cistanche in the family Lewandaceae, mainly distributed in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang. Cistanche deserticola and Tubular Cistanche deserticola have extremely high medicinal value. They enter the kidney and large intestine meridians. The Compendium of Materia Medica records that Cistanche deserticola "is a nourishing but not severe substance, so it is called Cistanche deserticola" and "it is warm but can moisten, replenish but not dry, smooth but not diarrhea".

It has the effects of tonifying kidney yang, benefiting essence and blood, moistening the intestines, and defecating. Traditionally, it is used for kidney yang deficiency, deficiency of essence and blood, impotence, infertility, soreness of the waist and knees, weakness of muscles and bones, and constipation due to intestinal dryness, It is the most frequently used tonifying kidney yang medicine in history. Modern pharmacological research shows that Cistanche deserticola has many effects such as improving sexual function, anti-aging, improving learning and memory ability, anti-Alzheimer's disease, defecation, etc. It is widely used in clinical prescriptions of Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese patent medicines, and simple preparations and health care products.
The main chemical components of Cistanche deserticola are phenylethanoid glycosides, iridoids, and their glycosides, lignans, and polysaccharides. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that phenylethanoid glycosides are the most important active substances in Cistanche deserticola, and have obvious anti-Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, myocardial ischemia, and other effects.
These substances can promote the formation of lymphocytes in the human body and increase the immune system.

Cistanche deserticola is also a miraculous medicine that can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis in humans. It can moisten the intestines, promote bowel movements, and shorten defecation time. And it is also the secret to women's eternal youth. Women don't want to age too fast. Drinking water soaked in Cistanche deserticola and persisting for some time will bring these three benefits!
1. Improve the body's immunity
Cistanche typically grows in deserts and is also known as goblins. Legend has it that Cistanche existed first, followed by the desert. Cistanche deserticola belongs to an excitatory pituitary gland and has a hormonal effect. It is a precious medicinal herb that regulates the human immune system.

Cistanche deserticola polysaccharides can promote the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes, but the proliferation effect of B lymphocytes is significantly stronger than that of T lymphocytes. Cistanche deserticola polysaccharides promote the release of cytokine IL22 from lymphocytes, which is related to promoting splenic lymphocyte proliferation. Cistanche deserticola can activate macrophages and regulate the immune system. Cistanche deserticola polysaccharides, echinaside, and piloside have significant effects on the formation and activity of human lymphocytes. It can increase the proliferation response of lymphocytes, thereby enhancing the immune function of the body.
The functional components of Cistanche deserticola total glycosides have a significant impact on cell recovery after 60Coy radiation damage, and can also enhance immune function against radiation damage.
Cistanche deserticola extract can not only compensate for innate immune deficiency but also enhance acquired immunity.
Put Cistanche deserticola into a pot and fry it to obtain a medicinal solution. After taking it, the human body can decompose lymphocytes, thereby increasing their activity.
Taking Cistanche deserticola can enhance the body's immunity, reduce the possibility of virus invasion, and thus reduce the risk of illness.
2. Delaying aging
Medical research has shown that human aging is closely related to factors such as lipid peroxidation and membrane structure damage caused by free radicals in biological membranes. Under normal circumstances, superoxide is mainly cleared by SOD (superoxide dismutase). But as age increases, the activity of SOD in the body weakens, antioxidants decrease, and gradually aging occurs.

The phenylethanoid glycosides in Cistanche deserticola can significantly increase the activity of SOD in the body, prevent lipid peroxidation, alleviate brain atrophy, protect neuronal function, reduce free radical damage to the body, and enhance the body's antioxidant capacity to help resist the invasion of aging.
Research has shown that Cistanche deserticola can delay tissue aging and degeneration by affecting the CA1 region, leading to round nuclei, increased organelles, and even the distribution of chromatin at different cellular levels. The extract of Cistanche deserticola can also improve the aging symptoms of the body by reducing the LPO (lipid peroxidation) value in the human blood, restoring the physical strength and vitality of middle-aged and elderly people, and delaying aging. The ergosterol glycoside in Cistanche deserticola can promote lymphocyte proliferation, enhance non-specific cellular immunity and immune regulation function of the body, and enhance the immune function of the elderly by increasing the production of L-2 by T lymphocytes, thus achieving the effect of delaying immune aging and delaying aging. Pinecone chrysanthemum glycoside can exert anti-aging effects by delaying the aging of MRC-5 cells (human lung fibroblasts).
Recent studies have also shown a close correlation between aging and lipid peroxidation of biological membranes caused by free radicals. The phenylethanoid glycosides in Cistanche deserticola have the effect of reducing liver and serum MDA (malondialdehyde) content by inhibiting the decrease of serum and brain SOD activity. In addition, phenylethanoid glycosides can also delay aging by improving the body's immune function.
Cistanche polysaccharides can significantly enhance the antioxidant capacity of liver mitochondria, improve mitochondrial metabolism, and exert anti-aging effects; In addition, polysaccharides from Cistanche deserticola can significantly increase the activity of Ca2+- ATPase in the aging body's liver, the fluidity of liver mitochondrial membrane, and the activity of respiratory chain complexes I+III and II+III, thereby significantly reducing the MDA content and PLA2 (phospholipase A2) activity of liver mitochondria, improving their antioxidant capacity and energy metabolism, and exerting anti-aging effects.
With the continuous in-depth research on the anti-aging mechanism of Cistanche deserticola, its related pharmacological mechanisms are gradually becoming well-known, which helps to increase its market share in clinical anti-aging drugs and health products. At the same time, more and more Cistanche deserticola products will also contribute to improving our health level.
Modern medical research shows that people who take Cistanche deserticola-infused water for a long time generally have a much longer life expectancy than those who have never consumed Cistanche deserticola-infused water.
After entering the body, phenylethanolic acid has a significant anti-aging effect. Moreover, people who drink water soaked in Cistanche deserticola for a long time have a several times lower risk of developing hypertension and hyperlipidemia compared to the general population.
3. Enhance physical fitness
effects of cistanche-anti fatigue
Based on folk medicine and modern scientific experiments, many pharmaceutical researchers have done a lot of work on the anti-fatigue aspect of traditional Chinese medicine and explored its chemical composition and mechanism of action. Through extensive pharmacological research, it has been confirmed that Cistanche deserticola has strong anti-fatigue and physical enhancement effects, making it highly regarded in the fields of medicine and health products.
Yang Hongxin et al. observed Yang deficient mice taking decoction of Cistanche deserticola and found that their weight, number of independent activities, and swimming time increased. At the same time, the accumulation of blood lactate and urea acid after exercise was reduced, and the serum urea nitrogen content was significantly reduced, fully demonstrating that Cistanche deserticola has the effects of enhancing physical strength and anti-fatigue. Research has shown that Cistanche deserticola can protect the liver and promote physical recovery by reducing LDH5 (lactate dehydrogenase) activity, upregulating NOS3 (nitric oxide synthase) expression, and promoting liver glycogen synthesis. In addition, it can also exert anti-fatigue effects by reducing LAC (lactate) and BUN (blood urea nitrogen) after exercise. Cistanche deserticola can also alleviate the impact of high-intensity exercise on blood testosterone and maintain it at normal physiological levels; At the same time, it can also have an anti-fatigue effect by promoting protein synthesis, inhibiting amino acid and protein breakdown, increasing hemoglobin content, and glycogen reserves. Through experimental research, serum creatine kinase levels were measured in mice after load exercise, and the increase in the Cistanche deserticola group was significantly lower than that in the control group, indicating that Cistanche deserticola can reduce the high increase in serum creatine kinase levels in mice after load exercise. Observation of the skeletal muscle ultrastructure in mice after 90 minutes of load exercise showed that the cell membrane permeability remained normal, and there was no significant damage to the muscle fiber structure, confirming that Cistanche deserticola has anti-figue effects.
Through continuous research, it has been confirmed that Cistanche deserticola has a significant anti-fatigue and physical enhancement effect, and the cytological mechanism of this effect has been demonstrated through experiments. This further enhances the effectiveness, scientificity, and safety of Cistanche deserticola in anti-fatigue and physical enhancement, providing a reliable basis for the development of Cistanche deserticola as a health product for enhancing physical strength and anti-fatigue.
In daily life, people who are accustomed to drinking water soaked in Cistanche deserticola generally have good physical fitness. If they persist for a month, it will have a good nourishing effect on the body. The most obvious is to help men replenish kidney yang. Women who drink it regularly can treat menstrual disorders and also delay the onset of amenorrhea in women.
