5, Precautions

(1) People who are not suitable for consumption
Individuals with yin deficiency and excessive fire: Those with yin deficiency and excessive fire are already in a state of excess yang energy, which transforms into deficiency fire and becomes evil fire. Cistanche deserticola is also a medicine for tonifying kidney yang. At this point, supplementing kidney yang will lead to heavier evil fire, resulting in more deficiency of yin blood. Therefore, people with yin deficiency and excessive fire should not consume Cistanche deserticola.
Menstrual women: Generally speaking, it is not recommended for menstrual women to take Cistanche deserticola. Although there is currently no authoritative evidence to confirm that women should not eat Cistanche deserticola during their menstrual period, Cistanche deserticola is a sexually warm and laxative product that may have certain effects on the body of women during their menstrual period. If necessary due to the condition, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
Children: In general, children's bodies and minds are not yet mature, and they are prone to developing internal heat, so it is not advisable to consume Cistanche deserticola. But when children have congenital deficiencies or weak kidney yang, it is recommended to use Cistanche deserticola under the guidance of a doctor and pay attention to the dosage.
(2) Avoid eating with laxatives
Cistanche deserticola itself has the function of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements. If consumed together with laxatives, it may aggravate intestinal peristalsis and easily lead to diarrhea. For example, taking laxatives with cold properties such as lotus leaves, dandelions, and honeysuckle may harm one's health. Therefore, when consuming Cistanche deserticola, it should be avoided to eat it together with laxatives.
In short, when consuming Cistanche deserticola, we should fully understand its precautions, make reasonable choices according to our situation, and avoid adverse effects on the body due to improper consumption.
