Winter

Winter is the season when nature is closed. Yang Qi is introverted, and all things are dormant. The human body should also follow this law, reduce activity, and conserve energy.
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the kidneys are the foundation of innate nature and are responsible for storing essence. Winter kidney tonifying is like adding bricks and tiles to one's health, laying a solid foundation for one's overall well-being. The concept of winter storage emphasizes going to bed early and getting up late, avoiding excessive fatigue, allowing the body to get sufficient rest, and enabling the kidneys to better store essence. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm, remove coldness and keep warm, prevent the leakage of yang energy, and create a warm environment for the kidneys.
Cistanche deserticola, a magical plant that grows in the desert, has been regarded as a good medicine for nourishing the kidneys since ancient times. It is warm in nature, sweet and salty in taste, and belongs to the kidney and colon meridians. It has the effects of tonifying kidney yang, nourishing essence and blood, moistening intestines and promoting bowel movements. In winter, the role of Cistanche deserticola becomes more prominent. It can inject warm energy into the kidneys and replenish the yang energy lost by the body in cold seasons.
The kidney tonifying effect of Cistanche deserticola perfectly matches the principle of winter storage. In winter, people can enhance kidney function by consuming Cistanche deserticola.

Seven types of injuries include food injury, drinking injury, sadness, physical exertion, pleasure injury, labor injury, and meridian defense qi injury. These seven types of injuries can all harm the true yin of the human body, and Cistanche deserticola is sweet, warm, and beneficial to the true qi, lubricating and nourishing the true yin. It is truly a good medicine for nourishing the five elders and seven injuries.
