It has many functions such as defecation and liver protection, and is known as "desert ginseng".Cistanche is divided into desert cistanche and cistanche tubulosa.

Where does Cistanche grow?

Cistanche tubulosa is produced in Xinjiang, and Minfeng is concentrated in the south of Xinjiang. It is born in red willow bushes and sand dunes and often parasitizes on the roots of Tamarisk plants.

Hotan Cistanche Flowering Period.

The Hotan area is deep inland, far from the ocean, and surrounded by high mountains (Tianshan, Kunlun, Pamirs). It is located at a low latitude and the cold wave is blocked by the Tianshan. Therefore, the temperature is relatively high. It belongs to the extremely arid desert climate of the warm temperate zone.

Its main climatic characteristics are: hot summer, cold winter, distinct seasons, abundant heat, the large temperature difference between day and night and annual difference, long frost-free period, scarce precipitation, strong evaporation, dry air, little rain, strong sunshine, drastic changes in cold and heat, and mostly wind Sand is a very typical continental desert climate zone.

The host Tamarix is widely distributed in Xinjiang Tarim Basin, Junggar Basin, Turpan Basin, etc. The root system is developed, the main root penetrates deep into the soil and takes root into the water. The deepest can reach more than 10 meters and is very drought-tolerant. The lateral roots are distributed horizontally, very wide, with many thin roots. Root plants have strong germination ability and are resistant to sand burial. After being buried in sand, a large number of slender adventitious roots can germinate at the root neck, and the branches grow quickly. Its cultivation is very rough and does not require much labor. It is very suitable for the very typical continental desert climate zone with a lack of water and labor.

As the saying goes, "Hetian plum jade and cistanche tubulosa two treasures", apart from the well-known Hetian jade, cistanche tubulosa is another characteristic resource of Hotan.

cistanche tubulosa is a parasitic herb for many years, parasitizing on the roots of tamarisk, a pioneer plant in sand control. Cistanche tubulosa can grow in the rare arid desert zone of minus 40°C and minus 60°C. The harsh living environment has created its perseverance and extraordinary value. In addition, it is supplied by abundant Kunlun Mountain glacier meltwater and atmospheric precipitation. Cistanche is known as the local Chinese medicinal material with high nutritional value.

The special growing environment of cistanche tubulosa coincides with the natural environment of the Hetian region of Xinjiang, my country. It is for this reason that the Hetian region of Xinjiang becomes the origin of Cistanche tubulosa.

What is the relationship between our company and the main producing area of Cistanche?

As a planting enterprise of cistanche tubulosa in Xinjiang, our company WeCistanche, the value of cistanche tubulosa was discovered very early, and it invested 100 million yuan in the construction of a “plantation base of Cistanche tubulosa” in the Taklimakan desert known as the “sea of death”. The company has long been committed to the industrialization of Cistanche tubulosa, allowing more people to enjoy Cistanche tubulosa.

Taking advantage of the golden dimension, desert environment, and other advantages, the GAP management requirements of Chinese medicinal materials are used for planting management. The use of any pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, etc. is prohibited throughout the process. The wild environment survives, and the inoculation and harvesting rely solely on manual labor.

After long-term exploration and unremitting progress, the Dichen company has developed and produced the Cistanche tubulosa extract from the original place of Hetian, supplemented by the authentic Jilin white ginseng extract and astragalus extract, and the emperor's cistanche brand cistanche tubulosa with scientific compatibility. Cistanche tablets created a new era of scientific utilization and high-efficiency absorption of Cistanche, a Chinese natural herbal tonic sacred product.

Currently, the company sells Cistanche health products with different specifications. There are more than a dozen products with functional orientation under research and development and approval, including products for preventing Alzheimer's disease, beautifying skin, regulating human immunity, anti-tumor, and promoting sleep.

In addition, the company has launched a variety of products such as hair growth, hair growth, whitening, spot removal, and beauty facial masks jointly developed and produced by the company and the Korean partner company.
